    Having the same problem here. Refresh rate can't be changed in-game ever since the borderless windowed update. Because of this, the game runs completely uncapped by default unless you manually change your screen's refresh rate. The Sims 2 was never designed to run at such high FPS, so while animations may play out just fine, features like the lock-on camera for Sims will jitter and act very unnaturally. And the only solution as of writing is the manual fix as any in-game option has been disabled. Please fix this!

  • Puchusco​ 65c3ue1dbd21​ By default, you could only change the refresh rate in game options while the game was in Fullscreen, which is not an option anymore since Fullscreen has been replaced with Borderless mode. 

    In Borderless and Windowed modes, the game adapts to your screen's refresh rate, which you should be able to change in Settings > System > Display > Advanced Display Settings (the last one may not be the exact translation since my PC is not in English).

    To my knowledge, the game should not have uncapped FPS by default unless you specifically disable Vsync (using the cheat vsync on/off), but you can check the FPS anyway by pressing CTRL-Shift-S when the game is open, which will show an FPS counter on the top left. Then you can enable Vsync if needed.
