Sims 2 Resolution Stuck on 800 x 600
And before anyone brings it up, YES, I already tried editing the graphics rules file. It didn't work.

@BunniesAreCuteDo you get an error? Go to your latest pack folder (I'm guessing Mansion & Garden Stuff if you have Ultimate Collection; C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config) and see if files were modified.
I would also recommending checking VirtualStore for any leftover files, since Sims 2 files often end up there; an older GraphicsRules.sgr might be there.
Press Win + R and type in %appdata%. You'll end in AppData\Roaming, so go one folder back. Then go to Local\VirtualStore, and you'll see program files folders. Look for Sims 2 files in there (AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\) and delete any folders related to it, especially if you find a Graphics Rules file.
@mate54 I didn't get an error, GRM claimed that it worked. I just looked in VirtualStore, and the only files there are for The Sims 3 Create-a-World.
- @BunniesAreCute When you edited GraphicsRules.sgr yourself, did it maybe save as .txt file? Usually Notepad can't save files when you modify them in installation folders.
- @mate54 No, it didn't. I would have noticed if it did as I'm not an idiot.
