Sorry to confuse you. I actually did the tests with wine-1.4 on two computers.

The logs with the "katharina" prompt were done on a 64-bit Mint Cinnamon Linux
and the logs with the "tm" prompt were done on a 32-bit Ubuntu Linux.

In both cases the intro video is displayed correctly (sometimes without sound,
but maybe this is related to the not-clean wine prefix) and then a window with
an unreadable font appears (see attachment). When pressing the checkmark the
program crashes.

In this case I installed a 32-bit libtxc_dxtn on the 32-bit Ubuntu Linux
machine, and as you can see it does not make a difference.

<complain mode>
The Sims 3 is currently in the platinum list, so I expect that it works out
of the box with a stable wine version. Therefore I bought The Sims 3. Since I
installed wine-1.4 on both machines with a package manager I expect that all
dependencies on libraries are taken into account. So when the library
libtxc_dxtn is needed by wine it should be installed automatically by the
packet manager. Maybe someone should contact the people in charge for the
Debian wine package to add a dependency for libtxc_dxtn. If some fonts are
necessary for wine they should also be a dependency of the wine package. I am
also irritated that The Sims 3 cannot be started by clicking on the icon.
Additionally there are so many fixme messages. IMHO platinum should only be
granted, when clicking on the icon works and when no fixme message occurs.
</complain mode>

Sorry for my complaints, but I am really disapointed. I know that this is open
source and I get it for free and I should not complain, but I hope that at some
point in the future I can trust the platinum list...

Please help to raise The Sims 3 to a real platinum state.
This would convince my daughter (katharina) that Linux and Wine are superior
to Windows. I have forced my whole family to use Linux for years, but now I
want to show them why I think it is superior. :-)

Regards,
Thomas Mertes
