  @sbgiscool You can try forcing the game to default to discrete graphics in your system settings. Press the Windows key + I, then go to System > Display > Graphics Settings. Add the executable for Sims2EP9.exe (or whatever the latest released pack you own is) and set it to run on the High Performance graphics.
