Hi, not sure I have to post this on Mac or PC because I'm running the sims 3 on windows 10 in bootcamp, on Imac. I apologize if I got the wrong section. I have a bit of story about this. I had no pr...
Thanks a lot. First, I've tried everything I could do yesterday. I tried all you suggested but I couldn't save it. Even it caused endless loading over 10 mins with backup save. The weird thing is that I changed the sims 3 folder name to the sims 3-1. Then I added 'ts3w' into Steam library. Then, I moved my saved game into the newly created sims 3 folder, then I got the dark main menu as I already mentioned. After that, I removed ts3w from Steam, then quit it. I changed the resolution to 1920 1200 again, then quit the borderelss thing. I trashed the new sims 3 folder created by steam, then I re named the sims 3 -1 to the sims 3. Then I tried to load my town, then keep crashing on the way. So..maybe I better trash it. It's ok I can re-build all the relationship with other sims and lost career level by cheat.
The 2nd issue, yes I posted about the borderless issus on sims forum and that's me.
1920 1200 was my previous game resolution. I've been playing on this for a long time. But I always feel a bit sad that full screen windowed mode is not supported for the sims3. I always play the sims 4 on windowed full screen mode. I loved this feature. Yeah that's why I started using the bordless gaming. I checked the 2 resolution, 2560 1440 and 2048 1536. They still show broken fonts in game. There's only way to play the game. I don't need anything, just keep playing as what I've been playing for a long time. OH god..I feel a bit disappointed in this feature. ☹️
I'll post one more shot here for 2048 1536.
Even I hid my task bar. The font show perfectly here but as you see, I don't think I can handle this. UI is way too down below. I will try to change the computer display resolution and try again.
@aodoherty I'm not suggesting you change the resolution of your screen, just the in-game resolution, by directly editing options.ini. That way you can choose exactly the resolution you want without having to rely on the game itself to supply it for you.
The dark Main Menu is a separate issue from the save, and we can try to troubleshoot that too, but it's easier to address one problem at a time. Too many variables introduce too much chaos, and it becomes difficult to figure out what's going on.
@puzzlezaddict Yes I read your suggestion in the sims forum. 🙂 I tried and I saw the game load in 1024 768 resolution automatically. I picked to 2560 1400 but it turns back to the screen before changing the ini file. ☹️
@aodoherty That's fun. So the game doesn't like you choosing a custom resolution. What happens if you choose a lower resolution, in windowed mode, then drag the screen to the size you want it? I'm not sure this would work either, but it's easy enough to try.
