I've succesfully installed The Sims 3 from DVD. Now, I get this error when running:

I'm pretty sure I have OpenGL installed correctly:

 

$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.74

OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

libglu1-mesa AND libglu1-mesa:i386 are installed. What to do now?

It works! This is what did it for me:

 

$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386

Thanks for the report. Upgrading wine version (I see wine-1.4.1) may help too.
