It's old yet still relevant. I have the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. I've tried nothing so far except to come here for help. I saw this thread and have the same issue, so I thought it would be okay to resurrect it. 😳
Well, I tried to repair the game and have no mods installed, so there wasn't much I thought I could do.
@elsie_d , have you used the latest version of Graphics Rule Maker? It's version 2 found on SimNetwork. And also apply the 4GB patch as well. Those both seem to get rid of the DirectX error as that is mostly caused by the game not recognizing your newer graphics card.
The Graphics Rule Maker worked a treat for me. I'm now able to play the game again. I also applied the 4GB patch. Thanks!
