So, I reinstalled my sims to try to fix the screen resolution. I set my screen resolution different by accident. When I try to switch it back it glitches out and I can't do anything.

    @Shaaan14 Hi,

    I have moved your question to The Sims 3 forums.

    See whether you are able to change the screen resolution by editing the file directly, as described by crinrict here.

    1. Close the game
    2. Go to this file: Documents\electronicarts\thesims3\options(.ini)
    3. Open the file with a text editor
    4. Find the line for the screen resolutions and change it to what you want
    5. save the file
    6. Start the game.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Cheers,

    Nils

    Can you copy the lines that you changed within the file and paste them in here?
