13 years agoThe first link pretty much describes what I already tried. I run the game with the setting that my Nvidia GeForce SHOULD be turned on. It even shows GPU activity in the icon. However, the game still doesn´t recognise the videocard. So then I tried the 2nd link, to manually put the graphics card in the supported Graphicscards list. But this also seems impossible. In order to put my graphics card info in the list, you should consult the Deviceconfig.log file, in which you can find your graphics device information. But instead of showing 'real' concrete graphics device information, it shows up like this: === Graphics device info === Number: 0 Name (driver): TransGaming SwiftShader Software 3D Renderer Name (database): TransGaming SwiftShader Software 3D Renderer [Found: 0, Matched: 0] Vendor: Chipset: Vendor: 0000, Device: 0000, Board: 00000000, Chipset: 0000 Driver: SwiftShader, Version: 29559.2.0.1876, GUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Driver version: 1876 As you can see, there isn't a Device ID displayed in the Deviceconfig.log file. So I've got no device information to put in the GraphicsCards.sgr file! I guess that the game doesn't recognise my graphics card at all? The weird thing though, The Sims Medieval has no trouble recognizing my GeForce at all. Maybe you know / can tell me the Device ID that I should have? Again, my graphics card is a Geforce GT 635M. (I don't know whether this will help, considering the game may still not recognise the card, but it's something I haven't tried yet.) Please help me fix this, it's really annoying having a decent laptop and still won't be able to play the Sims

I really don't know too much about that file. I have never used it myself.
Have you tried resetting the graphic card: http://www.ehow.com/how_4967194_reset-nvidia-graphics-card.html ?
That's all the ideas I have and my suggestion would be to make a post in the modthesims help forum. Much more techie people there.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
