Seems strangely unlikely, since EA allegedly has a contract with Transgaming (makers of Winex ... or whatever they are calling it this week). IF (and this seems highly unlikely, but if) they manage to get it to a score of 5, meaning it runs exactly like on Windows, then maybe, i'll re-subscribe to the non-emulator.
But even if this happens, all the expansions (and they will be comming, EA caters to the consumers afterall) will also need to run and so forth. Frankly, i can't see this working out unless there are native binaries, or they work real close with transgaming to make it happen. Neither of which is likely. I doubt EA cares about linux users, Their days of pioneering are long over (they were the first to release games on CD, or so some textbooks claim). And lets face it, people that want to play sims, will play sims, even if it means going to a hunk o shite OS. I hope there's a Mac version comming, coz then i can at least buy a new lappy and play the game, and still work in unix.
Wait till the Transgaming store opens. I believe, since they said theres going to be "new" and "exciting" products, that they may have The Sims 2. Why not? I got the The Sims for linux, and it runs perfect. 5/5. And since the recent dx9 support, ill bet they can run there winexlibs on The Sims 2. Just be patient.
NO NO! I got the inux client of the sims. LINUX CLIENT! Go online and look for it. It was ported using WineX libs. But it still proted. It shows the Transgaming logo, and on the cd it says Transgaming. No joke.
lol its funny... right now Sims2 won't work period with Cedega/P2P ... I know what you mean about your wife using Linux, mine is making the switch this weekend, but she'll miss Photoshop CS..
