Sims 2 Problem with graphics card

Thank you but I prefer not searching on google to find something in case I download the wrong thing. is there any way you can send a direct link perhaps?

@Sunflowergal227,

It's the first result on Google 🙂 The one from Simsnetwork.com

@fons_garmo

OMG! Thank you so much!! It works!

Now all I have to do is add the expansions, which I have a question for, do you need to do that for all of its expansions?

long story short I like to start the games after I install them to make sure that they work.

if not I guess I can just install all the EPS and install the graphic rules from there!

Thanks!

@Sunflowergal227,

Not really sure because I use the Ultima Collection, but I think you have to apply this workaround with every pack 🙂

hello,

Game is up and running and works well!

As for the Expansions and Stuff packs, what I had to do was with each one add the graphic rule- which worked wirth all of them!

Thanks so much for your help @fons_garmo!

Happy to hear it worked @Sunflowergal227! Enjoy the game :eahigh_file:

i've tried using this same method with the ultimate collection, but the error still comes up about my graphics card for the mansions and garden stuff pack. I can't find the pack in my game folders, so i'm unable to edit it with the graphics rules maker, could you help?

Hi @jaycebug26,

In The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, the game's executable is located on C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin\Sims2EP9.exe That's the game main executable for the Ultimate Collection.

Hello,

I really need your help with running the sims 2 mansion and garden stuff game. I used to have all the expansion packs except the above mentioned and the game used to work perfectly with the sims 2 appartment life. now I installed the sims 2 mansion and garden stuff from an online source and the game is not working anymore but the error about directx appears. it also tells me that i need to insert the CD to play although i made sure that installing the game doesnt require cd for. I read your previous comments and installed the graphics rules maker and did updated the graphics rules inside the sims 2 mansion and garden stuff files but still the error appears. do you have any solution please. really appreciated
