I can't figure out for the life of me, how to run the Sims.
The disc only has the setup tool, and not the actual .exe

Where can I find the programs installed under WINE?

~/.wine/drive_c

AFAIK the sims won't run under wine... http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1015

If you do magically get it working then please tell people how!

That's the thing, I can't find the .wine folder.

The default location for .wine is within your home folder.

It isn't there. Or, isn't shown there when I open the folder.

Could I point out again that the sims DOES NOT WORK under wine.

Okay, fine.

My question still remains.

I cannot see this .wine folder, what's the issue?

If in nautilus, type ctrl-H to show hidden files/folders.
If in the terminal, type ls -a to show hiddens, or even ls .*, or ls .wine, or just go directly there by cd .wine
I'm not certain if the problem is that you can't see it or it isn't there.
