There are many complains about that game being glitchy in hardware Direct3D
mode under Windows, so I'm inclined to think that the remaining issues are game
bugs/features. Software rendering mode is what most people use under Windows
and it disables lighting effects internally. It seems that Wine is better at
running this game than Windows.

I'm sorry about that.
You're welcome to open a new bug for The Sims white character models.
