Ha, yea, all these tweaks messing with the graphics rules does nothing for the problem. I have a NEW gaming laptop and TS2 worked fine on my Win7 that I upgraded to Win10. I tried changing the file myself or to installing someone else's file (two different people) uploaded. None of them work and people just seem to give up. It's really aggravating when you see people saying that it doesn't work but yet you pass it off to other people who also say it does not work, too. I know you guys think you are really helping people but if it doesn't work for everyone maybe that is not the fix we need. I am currently playing castaways, life stories, and pet stories, all sims 2 spin-offs without a problem other than the tiny screen that can't be fixed changing the GR there is no resolution setting for the 320x200 in there, and there is no DirectX popup and it's not in window mode. What happened to the good old days of fixing the ".ini's" and calling it a day but now those files don't exist and we just seem to screw the game up even more by messing with properties that have nothing to do with a missing DirectX file. If it's DirectX its DirectX, not some gaming card. DirectX is a Microsoft issue, not a graphic card issue. As long as I have been dealing with The Sims games people always think they are so smart and say "it's your graphics card, or send me your Dxdiag file", it's not always so simple! Every problem I ever had people always wanted my Dxdiag and was fixed without it by not listening to EA that didn't make you feel like your computer was the problem.
