Tutorial/Installation Replies
@rockethorse- I am planning on writing up a tutorial for how I got it to install.Ā Iām hoping it will be posted this week.
@horusmenhosetix- @mortia & @cindysimblr already had TS2 installed on their Linux machines... Mortia using Ubuntu & Cindy using Mint, so I harassed them incessantly for information and advice.Ā I also used this information that @cindysimblrā posted to her Tumblr.Ā I joined the TS2 Community Discord server and got some advice from OSAB (I used their install file), but the most valuable help I got was from Tannis Root at the Lutris Discord server.Ā (Please note that Tannis Root is currently affected by the mobilisation of Russian citizens and may not be in a position to help at the moment).Ā I spent months researching how to get TS2 running on Linux, but the above people were invaluable.Ā I will look at getting a tutorial for installation written up and posted this week.Ā Iām also happy to answer questions, but my Ubuntu knowledge is very limited.
SimPE & Other Program Replies
@equinoxts2 , @mortia & @cindysimblr - I think until someone can really get SimPE and the other programs going in Linux, it will be a case of transferring files between Linux and Windows machines to do edits. I will have an identical install of my game on my Win10 laptop and it is easy enough to transfer files between the two. Hopefully someone figures out SimPE on Linux soon!
