The Sims 2 Legacy Edition Screen Resolution

Hi, i am trying to change the screen resolution for the sims 2 legacy edition but i cannot in the game settings because there is only one option. I remember years ago i went into the games files and manually entered the resolution I needed, and it worked but I'm not entirely sure how that would work now for the newest version. If anybody knows the steps on how to change the resolution, I would appreciate the help so much!

    Yes, the in-game setting for resolutions only give me one option size which is 800x600. I can't turn on smooth edges either because it is greyed out and can't be adjusted. Only one option for refresh rate and that is 60.

    Have you tried checking your screen resolution in the Display settings of your computer? On windows you just have to go to Display from Settings - System - Display. Then you can see what your display resolution is and even change it. No idea how it works on MacOS, if you're using that. But yeah just check your operative system's display settings and you will be able to check it there.

    Is there any display setting commands in the launch option for the game?

    Weird. That resolution is normal behavior for the Ultimate Collection or the various pirated versions. You could always try the solution for that version, which is downloading and running the Graphics Rules Maker. And the 4 gig patch. But my Legacy game defaulted to my 2560x1600 resolution without doing anything. Compatibility with modern hardware is the biggest difference between the older release and the new release.
