I though when sims 2 was first released there was a Linux version. I could be wrong but I thought I read it on the back of one of the games I bought does anyone know it that is right?
And, I loved the video you made it was most helpful but It would not load for me inciting legal reasons.
I have the game loaded on my windows 11 and I am having no probs but had to put Linux on an old laptop and thought the sims 2 would be nice to have on it too.

There was no specific release for Linux, it does however work there very well.
