Sims 2 Legacy Windowed Mode

Question

Hey guys.&nbsp; I bought Legacy version when it came up and it ran so beautifully.&nbsp; A few little hiccups but nothing too big.&nbsp; Then they started updating it.&nbsp; And then they updated it again, and now it is stuck in windowed mode and there's no way to change that.&nbsp; The UI is so small my old eyes simply can't read it and because it's forced into permanent windowed mode I can't change the resolution.&nbsp; I can do the alt+enter thing, but then it's in a windowed, window mode and although the UI is bigger I want it to be fullscreen.&nbsp; Now, when it's in this new windowed mode I can change the resolution, but that really doesn't matter when I can't make the whole thing be actually fullscreen.&nbsp; Has anyone come up with an actual fix for this?&nbsp; I'm really frustrated as I've waited almost a year for them to fix this and they haven't.&nbsp; Help would be great, it runs much faster than my Ultimate Collection, loading is quicker and the graphics are nice and smooth.&nbsp; Thanks.

Going into windowed mode, changing the graphics settings, then going back into "regular" mode worked for me. The loading screens are not fullscreen really because they never updated them, but in game it is and the UI is fine. I have a large monitor too, with the game set on the highest possible settings.

Have you tried different settings while it's in windowed mode, then gone back to regular? Does it save the settings you chose?
