I did not want to hurt any feelings. I just wanted to point out the end users view. An end user is neither interested in details, why it does not work, nor in complicate hacks that make it work. An end user just expect that it works. I am a developer myself (see link in the signature) so I know also the developers view. This two views are just totally different.
A) The AppDB ratings are set by users, not the project. There are far too many applications for those to be properly vetted.
Ok, but I was refering to the Top-10 Platinum List which consists of 10 aplications. Is this list created automatically or manually?
Automatically.
B) The Debian package is made by Debian, not Wine. File bugs against the package with Debian.
I thought that there are contacts towards Debian. BTW.: The library libtxc_dxtn did not help.
There are, though if the bug is with a package, it should be filed by someone affected by it (I don't have Sims 3 or an AMD card, so I can't verify it). You might try with fglrx.
C) FIXME's are not bugs in and of themselves. They're reminders that something isn't complete, even though it usually works for a lot of stuff. If they bother you, set WINEDEBUG=-all.
Its not about that they bother me. As you said they're reminders that something isn't complete. When something isn't complete some things might not work correctly and in this case it should IMHO not get platinum status.
FIXMEs are very generic, i.e., for each stub function/missing cases. The game works fine for others, who rated it platinum. If it doesn't work for you, please file a different report, which will be calculated into its rating.
