Small Screen In Windows Mode

So I just reinstalled Sims 2 (base game only, so far) after reformatting my hard drive a couple of months ago and I got it to open in Windows mode but the window is so small. Any suggestions on how to change the window size? Thanks! :)

Also I'm using my discs, not the Ultimate Collection.

    Hi :)
    Did you use something to edit your Graphic files? The Graphic Rules maker or Leefish tutorial for settings?
    Or did you go through @Scribal_Goddess Tutorial? https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/937319/graphics-fixing-tutorial

    What options do you have in the game? Screens are bigger now... know your screen size. :)

    *Just to let you know, you still have to update the Graphics files even if you're playing TS2 disks if you have newer cards (after 2009/10- iirc). :)
  • It worked! In this pic the setting is 1440x900 but I'm going to change it to 1920x1080.

  • No, I haven't done anything to edit the graphic files. I've found a tutorial that might work so I'll try that.
