Re: Sims 3 incompatible Intel graphics card?
@fangfluffy The Intel HD Graphics is a fairly new chip (or integrated graphics chip). It is not in the game database and has to be added manually by editing the 2 .sgr files. Here is the how to that I use - link - how to add graphics chip to Sims 3 With a little playing around you may be able to change an existing entry for your chip. Just make a copy of the 2 files BEFORE you start editing. The game has to successfully start to create the config files that's why you can't find them now. The game will probably run on your computer but this game has been out for some time (2009) and has not had any improvements in several years. The tutorials are probably a little more advanced for a novice computer user but not beyond what you may need to do as a gamer. This is a typical 3D graphical game and as a gamer you may have to update drivers and edit a file or two. You should have a basic working knowledge of the operating system you are using. You don't have to be an expert (it would be nice) but you need a basic understanding of syntax and command structure. The hardest thing is to know how to classify the performance of the video chip and adjust the files accordingly. The game classifies the video as low, medium, high, and uber. I guessing the Intel 630 chip will be low or medium. and I'm guessing more demanding expansion packs (like PETS and Seasons) may have issues with the Intel integrated video chips.
