Hi, Im playing on windows 7 and had compatability issues but it seems to be ok since i patched them and installed a couple of expansion packs but the screen is still flickering. I have been looking at installing the graphics-rule-maker but I can only see how to do it with sims 2 ultimate collection and Im playing the disc version. Can it still be installed with the discs.
You can change the graphic rules and video card files by hand. It is not hard. Instructions here: http://simlili.tumblr.com/post/146373494212 Same instructions apply no matter your version of Windows. You should make a copy of your original files and keep them somewhere safe ( like the desk top) before making any changes. You can make the changes in each pack you have. (copy one you altered and then paste it into each expansion pack) If Mansions and Gardens is your last pack, make the changes in that pack also, for some reason the game reads it as a expansion not stuff pack."Milkykou;c-16997625" wrote:
Failed to find any Directx 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system. Terminating application is now what it is saying which is strange cause i got it to work for about 10 minutes then it just started doing this. Not sure what's going on and i cant seem to add pics in the forums showing.
This is the error it gives if it is not reading your graphics card. Do you have duo cards? Make sure the game is trying to read the correct one. Some people have to reset that every time they play, because for some reason the game tries to switch cards.
Thank you for the advice. :)
