Re: the sims 2 direct x 9.0c

I fixed the problem! Try to put your the sims on the windowed mode! 

"The only thing you have to do is add a -w at the end of your normal shortcut. 
Right-click on the game icon and select properties. 
* At the very end of the Target path (after the "), put in a space then -w and click OK. 
* If you want to have 2 separate icons (one for windowed mode, and one for regular), then just right-click on the game icon, select copy, then right-click again anywhere else on your desktop, select paste, and rename your shortcut and update the path accordingly. "

I catch this from yahoo!

    @simfredd9787 , what exactly did not work for you? Are you still getting the DirectX 9.0 error or are you some other problem. Have you downloaded Graphics Rule Maker which also gets rid of this error and allows the game to properly recognize your graphics card?

    Hi @simfredd9787,

    As @Tremayne4260 's covered, we'd need a bit more information to offer advise. I'll be locking this thread as it's from 2014 but could you open a new fresh one and add some more information please? The questions @Tremayne4260 has asked would be a good starting point. 🙂

    Thank you,

    - EA_Lanna
