I have sucessfully installed Simcity 4 in Wine - Ubuntu 12.04 (a lot easier to do than PlayInLinux). The game runs okay apart fron the fact I can't get it to use the full screen - it's sitting in the top left corner with a black border below and to the right.
I'm using a 1440x900 monitor. I cant set the screen resolution in the Wine settings below 96 dpi though I understand windows runs at 72 dpi so I'm not sure if the problem is related to that.
Is there any thing I can do to at least centre the display and make it use the full height of the monitor? I've tried adjusting resolution and other settings in Wine configuration and the game settings to no avail.
