Some issues I encountered (Voice audio, Screen resolution, other)

Hello. 

Some Issue I encoutered with The Sims 2 Legacy Collection 

Low Voice Audio frequency from sims : 
I don't know why, but even in on hightest audio setting. When sims talk, we hear that the audio frequency is very low in Sims 2 Legacy Collection. I create video comparison with The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection in the same machine.

The video from YouTube

Resolution not detected
I have a 2560x1440@165Hz screen, but this resolution not appear on my game. Some people saying that 2560x1440 was avalaible. 
I looked into why it wasn't working for me. And the reason is that. In full screen, the game engine can't go beyond 100Hz in refresh rate on fullscreen mode. My screen can't do 2560x1440@100Hz, or even 2560x1440@60Hz.
Which means that the Sims 2 doesn't see a resolution "compatible" with my screen and remains stuck with 1920x1080@60Hz.

MSAA (or Smooth Edges whatever it call) disabled when you ALT+TAB
Since the game running at fullscreen and not a native resolution between my game and desktop. It occur classic black screen (changing resolution / refresh rate). When you returning on the game, you got a classic blue loading screen from the game. But the MSAA not working anymore and you can see edges.

I think if you force the game at running at Bordeless Fullscreen mode. It solves both the problem of not detecting resolution/refresh rate and the problem of MSAA/Smooth Edges being disabled when you ALT+TAB. I Doing it with the Ultimate Collection and it works very well.

OneDrive Folder
Not in my personal issue. But people reporting game crash or script/object problem since the game booting and create local fils IN "OneDrive/My Document" folder instead of "UserName/My Document"

Issue with Vacation loading screen (Bon Voyage)
Not my personal issue too, but some people have the game crashing or stucking at loading screen when they go vacation.

here my dxdiag, IDK I don't know if this will help you much.

Thank you very much and good luck to solving these problems.
