Hello Im Missy <waves>
OS is windows 7 I have a Nvidia 780M video card, I used the instructions on your site to make my new video card a default for sims 2. I have all EP's. I did a full uninstall and reinstall of all the sims 2 and EP's. I first downloaded your graphics and video and placed them into my config file and it worked I got the hi res that you posted the pictures of. My smooth edges bar also came back. Then for no reason at all I turned off computer turned it back on went to play the game and the resolution went back to the way it was before. I removed all the downloads and just played the game as regular in a different neighborhood and its till the same. Please help it helped once before and I was so excited that it did. But had a relapse. I am attaching my video and graphics .sgr files. Help!!!!

The website wont allow me to add config or video .sgr file
This is what it says when I try to download the config and/or video file
Please correct the following errors before continuing:
•The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type.
ONE MORE THING!!!!
The reason I started all this is because I had to replace my prior video card in my PC. When that happened I started to get the texture stretching. And weird screens when changing or purchasing clothes it was distorted.

It's not the video cards.sgr that I need to see, it's the -config-log.txt from the logs folder in your playing game. if you just try to add the text file, it won't have a problem.
1. The -config-log.txt from the Logs folder in the My Documents\EA\The Sims2\ Click "full editor" below to attach a text file.
To be honest, you're probably better off using the Graphic Rules Maker tagged at the top, as that will put it in all the right places.

Hi I tried the graphics program it doesn't find my video card either. Here is my config-log file. I did fix the video.sgr already so its really just the graphics. If your two files fixed this before perhaps some more tweeking with my graphics.sgr. Thank you in advance

I just wanted to show you guys something
MELISSAM-PC-config-log.txt (Size: 10.42 KB / Downloads: 397)
. Did you check out that log file. ITS WORKING NOW. I used your graphics again in the beginning of this post placed it in the config and the csconfig for EP9. Then I decided Im going to go directly on to NVIDIA and check for upgrades to my card there instead of right clicking it in device manager. Did that. THEN IT WAS USING THE CORRECT CARD. Then went in all looked like the hi res BEAUTIFUL.
I then played for awhile and CRASH. I used that CFF program so that you can see more than the 2gb in the game. WALLAA!!! So far so good. Thanks for instructions on this website!!!

Download this VideoCard and put it in the same place as you put the graphic rules. That should fix your problem.

OK. Couple more questions...
1. Are you playing the game full screen or windowed?
2. Have you tried testing it out on a vanilla hood?
The reason why I ask is that there are a few reasons why you could be having this problem.
a. the graphics driver could be playing up if this came on suddenly.
b. the hood could have corrupted.
c. there could be custom content that is causing the problem.

Before you post requesting help
Information we need
- The
-config-log.txt from the Logs folder in the My Documents\EA\The Sims2\ Click "full editor" below to attach a text file. - Your operating System.
- What the problem actually is - that will be a picture to show the problem (optional), and accompanying text files that turn up (optional), and a detailed description of what happened, and what you expected to happen.
