I just tried it on another computer I have that hasn't had anything installed through wine on it, and it worked fine. Unfortunately I can't play it on that particular computer, business and play need to be kept separate. Suggestions?
I would really not like to have to reinstall everything in wine again, although it's looking like that is probably going to be the solution.
Try: $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-sims wine setup.exe
