I've looked and can't find anything about my particular problem. I have everything installed and "functioning" on Linux/Ubuntu but when I open S4S it gives me the "Unable to find the sims 4. Please configure your game path." error popup. However, when I close the popup the entire program closes so I can't change the path. Does anyone know what is happening or how to fix it?

I tried to follow a bunch of different sites: discord, Mac sites (in case they had a clue or offered one) and others but none of the procedures worked, the path could not be found. My program didn't close on giving the error and I could open mod files if I opened them using Sims 4 Studio, but I could never find a path that actually worked. Part of my problem, I am sure is that I run my Sims 4 game with proton and I am running Studio with wine, so it's probably confusing one drive c with the other, as to the solution, if I could get Studio installing with proton, it might work but I can't really say for sure, ATM.
I'm using Manjaro and all of my Windows games run great through Proton Experimental but as for mod programs, that seems to be a whole other ball game. I'm just happy I could get mods to even work.

I gave up trying to get Sims 4 Studio to see my proton install of The Sims 4 so I uninstalled it from steam, installed on Wine and now Studio can find my game and configures Studio correctly. Installing the game using a different interface was most likely never going to work, now that my game is in the same area as Studio, everything works just fine. Now I have to hope that my game works as good under wine as it did under proton.

The game does work well under wine, HOWEVER. The EA app looks like A** with the logo on top messed up, as well as the menu on the left. Not sure if it's the font missing or corrupted. In any case, the same does not happen under steam but here's the interesting thing. When I reinstalled The Sims 4 back under steam and proton, Sims 4 Studio found the game there just fine. So I'm thinking, maybe install Studio with wine first, ignore the error and then install your Sims game? Can't say for sure but it seems that studio recognizes the game being installed and "finds" the path auto magically.
Had to edit to correct some mistakes.
