This initializes (i don't know if very wisely) a blank PIXELFORMAT structure
passed to wine by the sims

Here is the patch,
by "the original version" i mean the windows version of the first the sims,
with no expansions.
To make he game run you need to remove the copy protection (if there is any,
the linux version seems to have nothing like that) and set the
DirectDrawRenderer to gdi (see http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys)
