LGR is a YouTuber who talks and shows lot of oldschool games and computers. And he is a fan of the Sims games. The Windows re-release has still problems, but works perfectly fine out of the box on the Steam Deck.

I also experienced that getting older games to run is often easier on Linux using wine and proton than it was on windows 7+.
