Cant save changes made to graphics card

@PaigePlays4 , Hi, I've moved your post to the Sims 3 forums. Someone here should be able to help you.

@PaigePlays4  Close the the EA App, and make sure the EABackgroundService is NOT running in the Task Manager.  Either one can block changes to an EA game's program files.

Hi! it still wont let me save... this is the message i get when i try 

@PaigePlays4  Have you started the game since you made the changes to the .sgr files?  If not, that's the first thing to do: the DeviceConfig.log doesn't refresh until the game launches.

Otherwise, the [Found: 0] means that your graphics card's device ID isn't in graphicscards.sgr.  That in turn means that you didn't do the edit correctly, for example maybe you used the wrong device ID; or that the change to the .sgr file didn't stick.  If you'd like me to review your work, just post the "Graphics device info" section of DeviceConfig as well as a screenshot of the section of the .sgr file you changed.  Please include any edits you made to graphicsrules.sgr as well.

Yes i've started the game multiple times. i figured out how to change my graphics settings but for some reason everytime i launch the game my graphics are reset. is there any way i can fix this?

Hi! i've been having this problem where my device.config for the game says found 1 matched 0. can anyone help me with this? below are my graphics rules and device.config logs

seti isCardMatched true
elseif (match("${cardName}", "*8800*") or match("${cardName}", "*9500*") or match("${cardName}", "*9600 GSO*") or match("${cardName}", "*9600 GT*") or match("${cardName}", "*9800 *") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*2?00M*") or match("${cardName}", "*3?00M*") or match("${cardName}", "*Quadro*FX 5??0*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 1?0*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 150*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 250*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GeForce G2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GeForce 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 4??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 4??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 4??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 5??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 5??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 5??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 6??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 6??*"))
seti cardLevel $cardLevelUber
seti isCardMatched true

@PaigePlays4  What exactly is reset: your in-game graphics options, or something in DeviceConfig or graphicsrules.sgr or some other file?

The reason your GPU is now found but not matched is because there is no entry in graphicsrules.sgr that matches the card, at least from what you've pasted here.  The easiest way to fix this is to replace the 8800 with RTX 3050 , with nothing else changed or deleted, not even the asterisks.

 Hi I am having the same issue and did everything you recommended, but i still cant edit the file. Do you have any other tips?
