Rosetta is transparent right? So macOS would start Rosetta to translate amd64 Wine into ARM, and then Wine would be translating the Windows ABI into something macOS can handle.
Yep this is how it works, Rosetta has supported it since day 1 (for both 32- and 64-bit Intel code, important since The Sims is a 32-but app)
Oh, that transparency would be new. But a behaviour like that would be ideal. I do not have a copy of the Sims to try it thou...
I do, but my M2 Max machine is still in the mail, I'll report back when I get it.
