Have you tried using the force parameter?

If you're mounting from an ISO (which I *think* is required with Sims 3 on Wine), try

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /media/iso
sudo mount -o loop ISOFILE.iso /media/iso

then

Code: Select all

mount /media/iso/; env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine /media/iso/PROGRAM.exe

You can use another prefix in this last command, if you want to put it into a separate "bottle".

No x_sgs_x ISOFILE is the part you need to replace with the name of the ISO so if you're using an ISO file then you need to rename to what its called for example if the ISO is called SIM3 then type in "SIM3.iso". Now the question is are you using the actual DVD or an ISO? We need to know to get a better understanding of it, if the file is ISO is it just in standard .iso or other formats like .mdf or something different.

Im using the actual Sims 3 Dvd game. Im sorry that Im not very educated when it comes to linux. The problem is its saying that its not there, like I didnt put the game in.

Is the DVD drive in Winecfg > Drivers? That maybe why its saying that the DVD is not found you need to Autodetect and check if wine found it.

I did that but it still does not show the disk, it shows all cd-roms no problem but will not show Dvd-roms at all.

I've looked at the wineHQ apparently you need a NO-CD patch for this game so that means the DVD wont work. Click on this link -> and It will tell you how to install the game.
