Want to play The Sims 2, but do not understand how to install :blobcatsadreach:

Downloaded and installed the base game (downloads 6+7) from here macintoshgarden.org/games/the-, that went OK, but it doesn't want to start without the original disc (which I don't have) and also I want the expansion packs, too...

@vaporeon_ after some googling i found a github repo from 2023 with some instructions for getting the sims 2 to run on linux, would you like the link?

@wallhackio I want to run it on the Macintosh on Mac OS X, sorry

@wallhackio I assume that the Linux thingy would be through Wine?

@vaporeon_ these instruction recommend using DXVK, something i have never heard of before

@vaporeon_ "A Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 8/9/10/11 which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine." oh it's wine lol

@wallhackio Vulkan :blobrollingeyes:
How do I find out whether my graphics card can even support Vulkan?

@vaporeon_ no clue. this shit is not my comfort zone, i am learnding

@wallhackio I'm mostly just annoyed at having to set up Yet Another Thing

Supposedly, it's more modern and faster or whatever

But I don't even know how to find out whether my graphics card can support Vulkan! Even though that sort of thing should be document somewhere!
