I can't believe it's simpler to run old Windows games on Wine (without any tweaks) than on actual Windows
I am definitely biased, as one of the games I originally had these issues with was Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. I don't know when the people behind CnCNet decided to fork the repository for this DirectDraw compatibility layer, but is forked from the at least 12 years old (!) https://github.com/mvdhout1992/cnc-ddraw and https://github.com/hifi/cnc-ddraw.

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

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
