Windowed mode?

How do I get it into windowed mode via Origin?  Graphics are distorted in Full Screen mode.  I've tried Alt+Enter, no luck, and the instructions for Sims 3 don't apply.

    Hi @AStrangePuppy,

    If adding the '-w' in the game Properties in Origin doesn't work, try this:

    1. If you don't have a The Sims 2 shortcut in your desktop, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin, right click on Sims2EP9.exe and select Send to > Desktop to create a shortcut.
    2. Right click on the shortcut > Properties.
    3. Add -w at the end of 'Target' as you can see in this picture:

    After applying the changes, you can use the shortcut to start the game in windowed mode.

    Let us know if you have any questions 🙂

    -Mai
