It's like a "fake" M$ Windows (it use Win32) under Linux that allow run some games. I've tried that and only few works. It is kinda funky sometime. I tried to install Myst3 games and it won't just install. Wines is pretty funky and I just downloaded Cedegna and installed successfully. Cedegna is a "modified" Wines which can play better games. It included SIM 2 game on list that you can install an play. I tried to install games like Lego Soccer Mania and EVO 4x4 game on it and it won't just install.

Here's website of Wines HQ and Cedegna. Cedegna is not free, require payment of $5 a month for fequent updates and supports. While Wines is free and you have to play around it's settings.

WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD and Mac OS X

Since that you are using Ubuntu, you can download and install with ".deb" package which is easier to install without hassle.
