Hey guys, I’ve got an issue where it’s driving me absolutely bonkers. I got a fitgirl Sims 4 repack, and it crashes without showing anything in the logs by itself. I install the game using wine, and launch it via Steam using all sorts of proton. Now I’ve downloaded the latest version, and the installer won’t even budge past 0.0%. Questions:

  1. Any way to get a detailed log, in order to understand what is going wrong?

  2. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hardware: NVIDIA 2060, Ryzen 5600x. I tried it on PopOS first, and then tried it on nobara just in case the issue was because of an old kernel. It didn’t help.

Thank you!

FitGirl often repacks DODI and other repacks to make them smaller. I've heard people having trouble with FitGirl repacks often have a better time with the DODI ones.

Check the site to see which source was used to make the repack and try downloading the source one instead if that's an option. Might solve the issue.

The ~~compassion~~ compression library FitGirl uses can be really touchy on Linux.

I’ve had similar experiences recently with the game, tried Anadius repack instead and the result was the same, ended up finding the sims 4 updater, which solved all my issues.

Never downloading a full repack again, just use the sims 4 updater.
