Hey!

I created an ISO using following command:

sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=TS3.iso

It was about 6 GB but had a different md5sum than yours.

Nevertheless, I finally got it working!

It was a really simple thing: You have to be root when you start the game on
Ubuntu!

I suppose Ubuntu mounts CDs/DVDs as root and ISOs can also ONLY be mounted as
root so running

chown -R root:root ~/.sims (My wineprefix)

I switched my Wineprefix over to be owned by root.

Now I started the game from this prefix and it recognized the CD/DVD!

I can now play with minor problems (probably only configuration things).

We should probably add a comment to AppDB adressing this problem since the
average user (like me) might not think about something like this.

Thanks to all who helped solving this problem! You're awesome!
