Lol that is ok. It is not really hard. First did you run the graphic rules? It doesn't work fully with all graphics cards, but what it does do is find the number for your card which saves you a lot of searching. What do you have for a graphics card? I would need to know this before I could advise on that file. If you did run the graphic rules, which I believe you said you did, your card should be listed (just not properly in some cases) it should be on the bottom of the list, of the type of card it is, in the video card file.
I can advise on the graphics rules for now though. What you want to do is look for a section in the graphics rules file that looks something like I have below. It should be in the 5th section (if you count each area separated by ########### as a section.)
Files can be found in (whatever drive you installed on) -> Program files x86 -> Origin games -> The Sims 2 UC -> Fun with pets -> SP9 -> TS Data-> Res -> Config (note because you ran graphic rules, you will have 2 files in there. The original which will end in a .bak, and one that just says graphic rules (or have a .sgr at the end) You want the one that does NOT say .bak)
if (not $useSoftwareRasterizer)
# failed to obtain device texture memory size, force to 32MB
if ($textureMemory = 0)
seti textureMemory 6052
setb textureMemorySizeOK false
endif
Where it says seti textureMemory you want to put in the memory for your graphics card. Go to run, type in Dxdiag. When it opens, click on the display tab at the top. Look for the line that says Display memory Put that number in were I have 6052 listed in the graphics rules file. Save your file.
Next go down that file further. About 3 quarters of the way down, section 8, you will see a area that looks something like this.
option ScreenModeResolution
setting $Low
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1080
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1080
setting $MediumButDefaultLow
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1080
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1080
setting $Medium
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1080
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1080
setting $High
# GraphicsRulesMaker Tweak: Custom maximum resolution
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1080
# GraphicsRulesMaker Tweak: Custom default resolution
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1080
end
Note your numbers next to yours may be different. Just change them all to what I have above. Again save. Make sure it is saved, it is a real PITA to have to go back and do it again if it doesn't. I have had that happen, I now hit save like 4 or 5 times before I dare to exit the file. :D Once you are sure all your changes are staying (exit out and go back in and look at it) make a COPY of the file, and put it in the CSConfig file as well. ( located in the games files right under the Config file) Let it replace the one in there, or delete the one in there out and put that one in. Your graphics rules are now done. :)
I will get back to you on the graphics card when I know what to look for. :)
