Recognising Newer Graphics Cards for Sims2

celebkiriedhel you still did not answer me, I'm trying to communicate with you days

Sorry Sahtom - you got lost in the other discussions.

You need to use this graphic rules card - Download Graphic Rules - Intel

And you put it in the program folders -

\Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff\TSBin\Res\Config\
\Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff\TSBin\Res\CSConfig\

Save your original graphic rules first.

I've done some fiddling with graphic rules (something to do with simple terrain setting)and manage to make everything work(Intel+Radeon) except snow with high-performance mode

That's great Laura! What did you do?

I'll upload my graphic rules.sgr if you like to take a look
Edit: done

Hi,
I am having serious issues with getting the Sims 2 to work on my pc. I got the resolution fixed (it wouldn't let me go above 800x600), and am now running window mode in 1600x900, which is what I wanted. However, I'm having graphics issues I'd like to fix and I also can't seem to get CC to show up even with it enabled etc. Since I have the CC on another harddrive (I keep my documents on a second harddrive), I am not sure if the game is having an issue with this? I was very young when I played the sims 2, so I can't remember if anything used to be needed besides enabling it in game to make it show up. Do you have time and the desire to help me out?

@Lythsim We can probably help. What OS are you using?

I'm using 8.1 latest updates. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Edit: included a dxdiag

Ok, we have to wait for Kiri - if you are also having Graphics issues please attach the config-log.txt so Kiri can see what MIGHT be going wrong.

I tried looking for that earlier but I am not sure where it is at. Any hints please? Thank you!
