What will Windows 10 be? Surely it'd probably be garbage since Microsoft said Windows 9 is too great to be released.

Go figure.

It is posed to be the best OS Microsoft has ever released. Reviews of the recently released Technical Preview are promising.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that...

Honestly I don't think Windows 8 is that bad, I just find the whole 'apps' overhaul confusing to me. I tried the OS and missed my "All Programs" feature, but that's what happen when things change.

In fact in Windows 10 they reversed that and brought back the old menú :)

You know, all this talk about Windows in this thread probably has Linux fans around the world seething.

Microsoft never learns. XD

Windows 9 will be awesome. Windows 10 will be horrible. Windows 11 will be awesome. Windows 12 will be horrible.

I would be surprised if Windows 10 will be awesome. That would mess up the pattern. XD

How would it mess up the pattern? Windows 8 is crap!

Windows 9 is suppose to be good and Windows 10 is suppose to be bad.

Since there will be no Windows 9 (which was going to be awesome), Windows 10 is going to be bad. So it would be good bad good bad good bad bad.

Oh I get it! LOL, Why did they skip windows 9?

Theyre not skipping 9 it will just be called 10 instead.

So, it's October now; has anyone made any head way with getting this game to work on Ubuntu? My gaming box has been converted to Ubuntu and I have installed Wine on it but am too much of a novice to try to install it without someone's how-to. Going to check YouTube, but wanted to check in with the community first. Thanks!

I doubt any one will post an update here, so I would imagine you should keep checking linux forums, I did see this not so great news http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=225&t=177444&p=919635

I'd honestly just recommend you dual boot Windows. You will get the best performance directly in Windows and have an easier time with things like Origin etc. WINE is worth a shot if DirectX works correctly - I'm not sure how efficient it'd be though or if it's supported.

I think the audience using linux is just too small. Besides, I think that everyone uses linux just for programming/fixing their PC problems - like my father, he has linux and windows on the same PC but he only uses linux if there are some problems, - and even if they use it for personal use, fun and etc., I think they're still pretty serious people that the sims or any other franchise would not attract at all. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Some folks here said that the Mac audience was too small so they shouldn't bother making a Mac version -- Linux is even smaller.

I'd say Linux users would be better off setting up a dual boot Windows partition, similar to what many of us Mac users have done to play Sims 4. Just boot into Windows to play Sims 4 then back into Linux to do regular work.

somebody continue try/play The Sims 4 on Ubuntu or Mint?

WineHQ site last version tested is patch from November 4

Don't ignore Steam on Linux and the 358 games.


Ubuntu Linux is a popular system, there are people who abandon Windows XP and choose this FREE system. Windows 7 is too expensive and Windows 8 is too bad.

My apologies for the s-word mods, but it was the only picture I could find. XD

Windows 8 was a mistake
