--- Comment #12 from Alex cerebro.alexiel@gmail.com 2011-09-08 08:38:21 CDT --- I confirm the game does not ask to insert the disc any more.
What you need is : - linux kernel >= 3.1-rc3 (kernel.org is down, linux is hosted at github temporarily) - wine 1.3.28 (will be released in a couple of hours) - defining a drive, that is to say having two symbolic links d: -> mount point of the ISO/disc and d:: -> /path/to/Sims3.iso or /dev/cdrom with 'd' a free letter in $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices
I know it may be unclear for some people but if you need a detailed/step-by-step guide, it should be written in AppDB not Bugzilla.
Again, thanks to everyone : gamers,coders,testers .. and others !
