Inside your install path it will create a c/users/username/documents like a Windows directory, that is the documents folder that it saves your local saves too. So you can navigate there on her old Windows machine if she has one and copy her save files from there and dump them in the same location and it should make them available. (The save file location is what I was worried didn’t have read/write permissions). But it’s just a guess from the fact that it was saying it can’t save, which if it didn’t have read permissions, if maybe couldn’t create/read the default directories during first time setup or w.e.
Hopefully you’ll get lucky and it works this time without having to edit anything
I installed to /home/user_name/Games/the-sims-4/drive_c/users/windows_user/Games/The Sims 4/Game/Bin/TS4_x64.exe and it is saving, it is launching. I will let you know how it is doing once my wife has played a bit. Thank you very much for helping me with this.

Text from my wife just now:
Haha, understandable. Frustrating I’m sure for her. At least we tried I guess.
If only it was installed on my ps5… although I do not know that it is keyboard and mouse compatible there.
