I had to: Improve the Resolution
and
Scroll down to Black Shadow Fix written out - I did not use a program for that. Just changed the line.
I am having issues starting the game since an Origin update yesterday. They claim to have no issues but I cannot get the game to run. Very frustrated. I really wish they would just let us continue to play offline they are not servicing the game at all - I did buy all of the games was not a freebie for me.
Good luck - It was running really well before yesterdays update.
Last night I couldn't get Origin to open or my Sims 2 game to run either. I uninstalled Origin then reinstalled it and was finally able to get my game running - but it keeps freezing on me.
Do not load Origin to play the TS2UC. Ever. Use the short cut on your desktop to load TS2UC. Yes, the Origin sign in will pop up but don't open Origin first and play it through the downloader. Also make sure you have turned off (in Origin settings) to stop it from running inside the game. I can't remember where that is, but it's inside Origin settings and turn off auto patching.
Even with Origin you still have to use the Graphic Rule Maker to make sure the game sees your video card and processors so it can set what your card is capable of doing. It may be freezing because the old game doesn't understand what a new video card can and can't do, so the old game will always set your settings to the very lowest if it doesn't know it's name or if you don't set it can do more etc.
