Running the sims 2 on windows 10
After struggling to get my sims 2 discs to install I just gave up and my friend let me use his origin to install the sims 2 ultimate collection. I got it to install no problem but when I run the game...

@katsimming , I found a better video to watch on YouTube by xUrbansimsx. She goes step by step on how to install the game and what you need to make the game work. Even if you have to start and stop the video multiple times, it's worth the watch. However, I am going to tell you a few things you need before you download the game either from the disks or from Origin. You will need to download a program called Graphics Rule Maker (Google search for it) to update the game to recognize your graphics card. Any problems with this or questions on how to use it, go to Leefish's forum (Google search that too). And to increase the resolution, you will again need to manually edit the Graphics Rule.sgr file.
If you would rather have your own version of Sims 2 from the disks there are ways to install them that work.
I downloaded graphic rules maker before and it didn’t help with anything. What should I have all the settings set to? And can you link the other urbansims video please?
Check out Leefish's forum for more information on Graphics Rule Maker. I'm afraid I can't link to either the video or the forum.
I downloaded graphics rule maker again and tried it but now I can’t even launch the game. I just get this message
failed to find any directX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have directX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate.
could it be a problem with the settings I used for graphics rule maker? I followed XUrbansimsX video or could their just be a problem with my computer? I know nothing about computers so sorry if this is a stupid question.
