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 ...

Hello, I have tried running in compatibility mode windows 7 and even xp, removed securerom, used the graphics ruler fix program, run as admin, uninstalled reinstalled on a different drive, added -w -width 1600 -height 1200 to the end of the desktop program (which did work at a 800x600 resolution buit not at the 1600) gone into the graphics rules file to manually update the maxreswidth and height to my monitor demensions and saved manually, manually added my graphics card to the list of known cards, none of this has worked.
Now i can get it to run fine in window mode (in fact for some reason now its finally accepting the custom window resolution (though half the time it comes up with an error message saying can not find compatible direct x 9c terminating) but im still really wanting to play this game in either borderless or well full screen if im to wait 10+ minutes for the game to start just to get it to launch in window mode i guess im contempt but im just curious why its doing this now when it didnt before on windows 10.
