Sims 2 Directx 9.0c compatible graphics adapter failed

So I have installed a directx runtime adapter (the June 2010 version), no help. Compatibility mode windows 7 no luck. Windowed mode... nope! ****UPDATE: The new patch fixed my issue!****

    people are saying this fixes the issue:
    - Create your sim.
    - It crashes
    - Go to your steam library > Right click the game > Properties > Installed files
    - Click "Verify integrity of game files"
    - It downloads additional missing files
    And after that, when you create another sim, it won't crash again.

    You can do the same on EAs app, but I personally don't know how to get there. But the steps should be roughly the same.
