@leefish No, I didn't see that post. I first tried the fix for The Sims 1, thinking that might work because it's the same problem I'm having, but it didn't work. Then I tried to remake a custom GraphicsRules file exactly as it says to do for The Sims 2, and that didn't work either!

Thanks for giving me possible fixes, though.

Did you do the ctrl+alt+delete "fix" that it lists on the page I linked you to?

@leefish Yes, I tried that. I did ctrl+alt+delete, the screen came up, I clicked "cancel", the black screen was still there. I even tried this a few times and also tried this with tabbing in/out, no luck.

@Miasim Mia - can you give me the config-log.txt for the one where you did the video card as well? Thanks.

@Miasim Your config-log.txt says that the video card.sgr with the change wasn't used.

Can you double check that you put it in both the config and the csconfig folder? Can you let me know what folders you put it in? It maybe that you need to put it into some other folder?

@celebkiriedhel Oh jeez! I just saw that you had said to put it in both folders, I only put it in the first one. I redownload the file and put it in both folders and let you know what happens. I also just saw the post where you had asked to put the game into 800x600 mode, I haven't tried that either. I'll do that as well right now and get back to you with the results. It shouldn't take long as I've been taking my Downloads folder out with each test to reduce load time. Thanks!

@Miasim be sure to include your config-log.txt again no matter what the outcome.

@celebkiriedhel I tried running it in 800x600 and the entire screen goes black, not just the Sims 2 window. After putting the videocards file in the right places this time I ran the game and still have black screen. Here's my config-log.txt now.
