Re: Sims 3 Not Recognising Graphics Card

I'll get back to you later tonight. I'm a bit exhaused and need to figure this out myself. So give me a few.

You need to do the following. 

In the GraphicsCards.sgr file (make sure to backup the Original):

0x9834 AMD Radeon HD 8210

I have to get backt to you on the other files since I don't know how good your card really is. Need to check with some other people.

What does it say now ?

And in the file ? Still found: 0 match: 0 ?

Haven't heard back from my friend. Might be busy with new years.

Sorry for the late reply, the DeviceConfig now only says 

=== Options ===
=== Default Options ===

Sorry, my fault,

should be card 0x9834 "AMD Radeon HD 8210"

Sorry, DeviceConfig still says the same.

What happens if you restore the backup. 

Does it go back to at least having a card ?

Did you try cyri: http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri if it says you can actually run the game ?

After changing back to the original, the DeviceConfig still said the same and when I tried the website you suggested, to see if I could run it, it said my CPU speed was too slow and my OS was not originally supported when the game was released.

Ok. Then I think you won't be able to play the game on that computer. 

The OS should not be an issue. The game runs on Win 8 although that was not originally supported (for obvious reasons) but if the site says your cpu is to slow, then it probably is.
