I've tryed everything on my knowledge to get it to work but always crashes when loading the town, the only error I get is "\\mono\\mono\\metadata\\icall.c:5454, condition `err' not met"

Please let me know if there is a way to get it work

I think it may be my OS i mean because is 64-bits but i don't really know if that make a diference

I think this is an bug in Wine or wrong version of The Sims 3. I do not get such error. Do you acquired The Sims 3 from the store?

There is at least one 64 bit user who run The Sims 3.

thaks as you say it could be the version of the game, wine version is 1.1.23-thesims3 I think the sims i have is a beta version, it could be that.

That's impossible, I have the purchased version and wine version 1.1.23-thesims3, purchased last week, I'm getting the same exact error.

Where do you all get this errors? Is this in terminal or an application error?

Terminal. The program itself merely closes.

Addition: If it helps, I keep getting this error when trying to configure Winetricks/Playonlinux


"fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone information in the registry for bias 300, std (d/m/y): 25/10/2009, dlt (d/m/y): 8/03/2009"

Why don't you try to install one of the Mono packages with help of winetricks which is integrated in unofficial plugin POL Helper which is here.
I've tried two different versions of The Sims 3 and none of them were causing problem. Does your version is three language version?

I just installed mono straight to Playonlinux, no luck. I'm still crashing before starting the town, with same terminal error. :sad:

AFAIK this is this bug. I would try to patch the game and see if something changed.

I have the same issue here and the posted bug report attachment fixtz.exe doesn't change anything, the game still crashes while loading a town. Did the patch do the trick for any of you?
