I hate Windows. But I have to use Adobe suite. Wine doesn't play nice. More than an hour of troubleshooting I feel is not worth it. I need to be working more than solving issues. Someone point me to how to make Adobe suite work (without hours of troubleshooting) and I'll join the Linux team. Do not suggest other software options I get the files for Adobe they have to be Adobe specific.
Tried dual booting?
Linux for personal, Windows for work? I'd personally not mix work and personal on same device. Failing that, same OS.

Stay strong! MOBAs are like rage-inducing crack!
They also destroy friendships.

Makes sense.
I wanted to try the Affinity suite but found it doesn’t work on Linux. I also tried running it via wine but had massive issues. I’d gladly pay if they release it for Linux. Until then, I’ll use free alternatives.
I looked into the wine installation in Linux, and it seems that there is a custom wine setup that generally works, but I do professional graphic design, and page setting/layout as a side gig. I don't need the hassle, or risking losing work, even with auto saves.
I started a thread about Affinity in Linux in 2022. It's still quite lively.
The main idea was that considering the growth of Linux, they could get ahead of Adobe in that space and tap into a market space that is pretty in crowded.
It's still a fairly active thread.
Affinity still says that they have no intention of doing a Linux port.

Inside your install path it will create a c/users/username/documents like a Windows directory, that is the documents folder that it saves your local saves too. So you can navigate there on her old Windows machine if she has one and copy her save files from there and dump them in the same location and it should make them available. (The save file location is what I was worried didn't have read/write permissions). But it's just a guess from the fact that it was saying it can't save, which if it didn't have read permissions, if maybe couldn't create/read the default directories during first time setup or w.e.
Hopefully you'll get lucky and it works this time without having to edit anything
I installed to
/home/user_name/Games/the-sims-4/drive_c/users/windows_user/Games/The Sims 4/Game/Bin/TS4_x64.exeand it is saving, it is launching. I will let you know how it is doing once my wife has played a bit. Thank you very much for helping me with this. -

Weird. I'm pretty sure I have played via steam and it worked. I'll maybe try later if I remember.
I have heard that from other people, but have seen on protondb there are as many that can play it as the cannot. I think I have it working finally is lutris, after almost a month of trying different things.

Text from my wife just now:
The Sims keeps locking up. I appreciate that you went above and beyond, but it’s done. Stick a fork in it.

Haha, understandable. Frustrating I'm sure for her. At least we tried I guess.

If only it was installed on my ps5... although I do not know that it is keyboard and mouse compatible there.

No idea, I assume a mouse keyboard will work fine, but I don't know if the PlayStation version will have the buttons/GUI mapped the same.
