Closed Sims 2 and Graphics Cards - the fixes.

This might be the wrong place to ask but i wonder if a FPS limiter is needed for the sims 2, or if it even exists for sims 2

It's not needed for Sims 2 because it's already in-built. That's why when it was missing for Sims 3 it was such a shock.

So anyone has an idea what might cause my problem with invisible snow?
Please, help me

Trotylka, I had a problem with invisible snow. I found it was the Graphics Rules Maker causing it, and I'm not sure why. It seemed to be the bottom two options concerning V-Sync and high graphics that removed snow for me. So I went back to my old graphics rules file and edited it following this, may I suggest you take a look too and see if it solves your issue: http://4simapple.tumblr.com/post/1062341...red-all-of You'll be able to still have high quality graphics, but you won't lose your snow.

I was wondering if anybody could help me with getting the game to recognise my card. I have a Radeon 7670M. I checked the Recognising Newer Graphics Cards thread, but it is going over my head so badly. The game is flickering, I cannot access the smoother edges option, and I think it's down to Sims 2 believing I am using an Intel card, when I am not. I have tried everything else, lost snow in the process - any advice would be great

@madison95 - what that is doing forcing the game to high regardless of whether it is or not. It's a bit of using a nuclear weapon when a hammer would do. @Trotylka I'll make you a new graphics rule and video card and maybe that will fix it?

Madison - if you post up your config - I'll set up a thing so that your card will be recognised.

Hello, I am having a slight problem with Sims 2 Ultimate Collection that I hope someone here can help me with. I have followed the instructions on this page very carefully and I managed to get most of my game's functions working such as anti aliasing, shadows and resolution. However, I have one problem that is a bit annoying. I have flickering on the screen which comes and goes. When I checked my settings, I found that my refresh rate was shaded out. I am not sure but does that affect the game when it comes to flickering? I would appreciate any help to resolve this problem, thank you.

Hi, i've done all that you said and isn't working. I have the missing texture file and the game is still crashing all the time and the graphics are crazy always pink blinking in the neighborhood and sims, everything. Please help me.

I'm sorry to post again so soon but I have just gone into my game and discovered that the shadows were now shaded out. I don't understand as it was on for the first time yesterday.

Here is another pic of the problem.
   

I guess I'll need help with shadows AND refresh rate now.

@madison95 Thank you :* It works perfectly fine!
Is there any way to have Smooth Edges enabled with such settings? They are greyed out.

Hi,
I know there are a lot of people having problems with this, so I apologize for jumping in. I installed the Ultimate Collection and am having jagged lines in the graphics, you can see in the picture included.

My windows operating system is Windows Vista. So far I've tried the solutions in the first post (downloading the new Graphics Rules.sgr folder for the appropriate card and removing the tm in regedit.) They're still a bit jagged. I also added my video card to the Video Cards.sgr file but it says it's still not recognized. Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!


Editing to add my graphics rules.sgr and video card.sgr, which I had to change to txt files to upload.
