@SianAF148 , have you patched the game? The patches are found at SimsVIP.

In all honesty I don't think I've ever used those. After some searching and more trial and error I finally managed to get the game to acknowledge my graphics card.
I had to manually add it into the "video cards" file in config and csconfig. I did this for the Mansion and garden stuff program files. After that, the game would load.

@Tremayne4260 I have no idea what I changed but it now won't start anymore and i get the directx error message again.

@SianAF148 , you always need to edit the Graphics Rule.sgr file in the latest game. I actually did it in all the files for all games and stuff packs so the game could recognize everywhere.

@Tremayne4260 yeah that's always one of the first things I do. For whatever reason, Windows always blocks mansion and garden stuff from running so I have to create the task with admin privileges through task manager. Usually I would use SimsSP9.exe (M&G Stuff) but after it stopped working, I used the launcher file instead. That works now. But I don't know why using simsp9 no longer works. Sims 2 has always been a pain to install but this time really is worse.
