Hi,

I tried The Sims with Wine-staging 4.3, but it shows no sims. The enviroment,
like the rooms in the house, furniture, trees etc. shows up, but no sims.

The sims in game showed up in Wine-staging 4.2, even though their faces was not
showing correctly.

Can you please test with current (Staging) git?

Hello Håkon,

Did you employ dgvoodoo2 or DXVK when you got sims working with Wine-staging
4.2?

Thanks

I have built wine-staging from master now, but I have to try it later today.
I'll let you know how it turns out. I'm not entirely sure that it's a problem
with staging, as I think it is a regression in Wine. We'll see.

No, I have not installed DXVK or any other third party libraries. The only
thing I did, was the following:
* Create a fresh 32-bit wineprefix
* Set Windows-version to XP
* Installed The Sims Double Deluxe.
* Start Sims.exe

Even though the game is running, it has some bugs and remains unplayable. The
bugs are "invisible sims" (this one) and the game hangs when opening a menu. 
I think the game would be playable when those bugs are fixed

Hi,

I've finally gotten around testing a custom build of wine-staging from git. I
built the following commits: 
 Wine:          6d82b2f1ad0e8d1d7a3b7060ee4993560b499989
 Wine-staging:  01adefa75cc60d1607439c9b38f486c4a6f76695

With my custom build, the sims are visible once again. There are some glitches,
but they are unrelated to this bug. It seems like the game does not redraw as
it should, as the sims suddenly appear other places in the house.

Are those glitches the same in mainstream Wine, or do they appear just in
Staging?

I'll make a custom build of wine and check if it is. I would think they are in
mainstream Wine too

Even better, I've attached a video-file displaying the bug. It's also
displaying that The Sims hangs when a menu is opened.

For the video I used Wine-staging (the same git commits as earlier)

The Sims does not start when I try it using Wine devel. I made a custom build
from the git-ref I've used earlier (git commit
6d82b2f1ad0e8d1d7a3b7060ee4993560b499989)

Judging by video, wine-staging successfully switches the game into 8-bit color
mode since it writes fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode in log

wine-devel crashes at the moment it has to change color mode and doesn't log
this message.

See https://wiki.winehq.org/256_Color_Mode

Looks like the game can be launched through wine-devel using "wine Sims.exe
-skip_intro -skip_verify"

I tried with Wine-devel, now, and it still does not work… For now, it seems
like The Sims is only working with wine-staging.

I tried the following commit for wine-devel:

Is the issue 'The Sims has invisible sims' with wine-staging fixed or not?

If it's not fixed, then reopen.
If it's fixed, then please file other bugs and discuss the remaining issues
there, because it's confusing to have a bug RESOLVED WORKSFORME and the OP
still saying that it doesn't work.

Also, please, add your comments on these open bugs:
The Sims not redrawing: bug 43411
Crash at startup: bug 45250

The bug is fixed in wine-staging, that's correct. However, I will test with
Wine-Staging 4.4 once it's released

When people asks if it also works in wine-devel, my answer is that it does not
work (as the videos shows). I thought that I made it clear when uploading the
new files, that they are for wine-devel, not wine-staging.

Works with Wine-staging 4.4. Must have been a regression in Wine-staging 4.3
