Thank you so much for your answer!

I had tried all that before but it didn't work, but then I updated my drivers and now it works 🙂

So happy that I can play The Sims 2 again! 🙂

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, changed the compatibility to run in XP mode, increased the memory, downloaded the 4GB patch and now done the graphics ruler as the last thing. When I did this, I got the attached message so have no idea what that means. Appreciate your help though 🙂

@BubsBunny92 , I have seen videos on YouTube that cover this topic as well as how to properly update the game. I did a Google search to try to get more instructions on how to fix the DirectX error which can usually be fixed by Graphics Rule Maker. I think what needs to be done next is to increase the resolution that the game can play in so you can play in full screen mode. I have seen fixes for the DirectX error to force the game into Windowed mode, but I'm not sure you want to play that way.

Let me know how to proceed and I'll find the instructions on what to do next.
