direct3d returned an error d3derr_invalidcall

Just got a new laptop and getting this error when trying to load into a household. What do I need to download/install to fix this?

I've tried searching around and using Google, but a lot of suggestions were from 2016.

Thanks!

    I think I fixed it. I had to go into Windows graphic settings and chose to run the game with the higher graphics card.

    Are you in Windowed or Fullscreen? Are you on a desktop or laptop?

    If you go into Windows Settings find Advanced Graphics you can add the Sims 2 application and change it to use High Graphics. That’s what I did and I have no issues running the game with high graphics and high shadows.
