A guide for playing The Sims 1 on Intel and ARM Macs
Something that I recommend to use if you plan to play The Sims 1 is to use this widescreen patcher: https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Wide...
It also installs DDrawCompat (or DGVoodoo2) for you, which is useful because vanilla The Sims 1 on Windows 10+ is choppy for some reason, using DDrawCompat (or DGVoodoo2) fixes the choppiness issue.

this was creepy af
While it can work without a widescreen patcher, The Sims 1 under Windows 10+ is veeery sluggish, it feels like the FPS is being capped at ~20, so I 100% recommend you to apply the widescreen patcher to play the game.

Best portable The Sims experience
it wasn't very straight forward, I spent 1-2h to install it. My steps: Install game using lutris, apply no-cd "patch", patch that exe in order to work with steam deck resolution ( patcher link https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Widescreen-Patcher ) then add it to steam as a non-steam game. and it works perfectly, you have few control presets for steam deck and it's really nice to play with trackpad

Sims resolution.
This allows you to set The Sims 1 to a custom resolution. I'm not using it, myself, but a lot of people love it: https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Widescreen-Patcher

Intel Drops DirectX 9 Support On Xe, Arc GPUs, Switches to DirectX 12 Emulation
The Sims 1 - Can be made to work flawlessly on modern systems with either dgvoodoo2 or the alternative DDrawCompat, I recommend installing either one via the widescreen patcher as it also allows you to force the game to run at modern resolutions. (Although things get a tad small at 4k, I recommend a maximum resolution of 1080p and just using full-screen FSR for any required upscaling.)

I started playing the Sims 1 today... In the first 5 Minutes of gameplay, my Sim managed to die and burn the house down whilst making a quick breakfast. Just... wow

Get CnC-DDRAW, extract the .dll, paste it on your SUN folder and it should take care of the rest.

Command & Conquer - The First Decade
And now the tricky part... and the reason why I was not able to run both RA2 and TS... You need a library called cnc-ddraw ( Releases · FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw (github.com) ) which fixes a lot of things for old games. When using windows you need to copy the ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini files from the zip and you are done but when using wine/proton you need a simple launch option to load the custom dll file instead of the protons builtin ddraw. Thanks to u/RoweenX4 and some google-fu.
