The Sims 2 Windows 7-10 Fixes
It's not uncommon to have problems with The Sims 2 on Windows 7, 8, 8.5, and 10. I've had all of these versions of windows and had trouble running The Sims 2 on all of them. The Sims 2 is my favorite ...

You can try this, if you ran the graphic rules, delete (or move it out of the game folder) the graphic rules with the .sgr at the end. Right click the graphic rules with the ,bak at the end and choose rename. delete the .bak at the end, put in .sgr, and alter that file like above. Save the changes and do the same for the graphics rules in the CSConfig file. Something might have got messed up in the file that the graphics rules made.
Since I have tried reinstalling and repairing so many times I have lost the original .bak file, so what I did was install the Sims 2 on my brothers laptop then copied both config and csconfig files onto my USB then I replaced the ones in my laptop, should have worked right? I even checked that the Sims 2 ran at 800x600 on my brothers laptop, and it does, but on my laptop its still stuck at 320x200, which makes zero sense, something else must be messed up and I'm not sure what it could possibly be, I even tried replacing all the config and csconfig in the program files with the ones I got off my brother's laptop but its still refusing to change.
This issue started after I followed a simsvip tutorial which has you change the numbers in "seti low 1" and "seti medium 2" to 3, then change all "uinitprop maxreswidth" and "uinitprop maxresheight" into 1920 and 1080, it didnt work (still at 800x600) then I stupidly followed some solutions in the comments which ended up giving me 320x200, and no amount of reinstalls/repairs would get it to 800x600 again :/
I really hope you could help me fix this odd issue!
