I've done some more experiments and I think I've found a workaround.

The workaround is to set:
LC_ALL=es_ES.ISO-8859-1
or
LC_ALL=es_ES.ISO-8859-15
before executing Wine.

With this the pause key works, and the in-game text editor works OK too (there
is a text editor in the game to edit Sims biographies, etc).
Tested these symbols among many others in the text editor: ¡¿çñ€ó.

The idea came from Wine bug #30984 which may be related.

I tested also the command "setxkbmap us" and while it fixed the pause key issue
(`) it caused other problems, like the in-game text editor working with US
layout.
