Open your file browser (let terminal just chill for a while). Navigate to your executable that you are trying to get to work with wine. It will be located in your hidden dot wine folder. So, if in Linux, go to /home/[your user name], and the hidden dot wine folder will be in there. But it's hidden. If using Nautilus as your file browser, hit Ctrl + h to reveal hidden files and folders. You should then see the ".wine" folder (if in Nautilus). Go in there. Then go into drive_c. Then navigate to where the program is installed. Probably in the Program Files folder. Find the file and drag it into terminal after the "wine ". Then give a space after the path to the executable, then a ">" then another space, then a path to where you want the debug kept. You could do "/home/[user name]/Desktop/Sims2_in_WINE_Debug.txt". So it might look like this:
> wine /home/hibba/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Sims/sims2.exe>  /home/hibba/Desktop/sims2_in_WINE_Debug.txt

HappyJake:

Thank you for this detailed explanation but we need the error messages 
as well so the ">" above should be "&>"  (Thank you Vitamin.)
