Heard that Cedega has some association with EA over this, but no news as of yet. I believe it is the copy protection keeping it from running under wine. While DirectX is not perfect in Wine you are more likly to see issues cause by copy protection. This is why most games need a No-CD/DVD patch to run in wine. There is such a patch for Sims 2 but it is not 100% working, and apparently fails completely under Wine. on another note. Sims 3 plays perfectly in Wine. quote
