Having just spent some time trying to get some old games working under linux, I managed to get SimCity 3000 working with PlayOnLinux.
It will install using the installer provided quite happily, and then tell you that it won’t run because of security protections.
If you change the Wine version to 1.5.18, it runs quite happily, but you may find (on large screens) that the graphics are a bit off.
Hit “Configure”, then choose the “Wine” tab, followed by “configure wine”, then “Emulate 800×600 Desktop” under “Display”. Save that, then try running Sim City 3000 again.
That should get you a nice working copy of the game.
YMMV, of course.

PS other commands used before this attempt that may have an affect (Will check later)

sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=65536
