can't save graphics changes
I have Windows 8 installed on my computer (long story short- to be able to use all 6gb of RAM on an old computer). I also upgraded my CPU and my graphics card to a GeForce GTX 660 ti. So far I have installed Sims 3, WA, LN, and Pets. I was able to create a household with just 3 installed and it seemed fine (didn't go to town or leave the house). I noticed when I did go to town the town is all white with little markers showing. In Bridgeport and Appaloosa Plains I can create a household but they do not show up at the main menu. All of my graphics are set to low and advanced rendering is disabled. When I try to change anything it will not save. I opened notepad in the deviceconfig. as I saw on another website but there is nothing there. I am thinking that the game is not recognizing my graphics card? Can anyone give me an idea of how to fix this? Thanks so much
I had the same problem and I found the method to fix it : Go into your Sims(original game) folder, now go where .exe files are (Bin). You will see a TS3W.exe file, open his properties (of the file of course), and select "Run as an administrator" and "Windows XP SP3 compatibility" options and run the game.
Enjoy ! 😕mileyhappy:
