Hi Everyone,
I have windows 10 on my laptop and my sims worked perfectly, however the exe. file for my mansion and gardens became corrupted so I reinstalled the whole thing again. When it was first installed I could load everything and could even enter a household no problem but once I started to play about with the graphics rules programme, the sims hasn't loaded properly since. I have tried almost everything suggested on the forums here, and else where, to no success
Right now when I try to load sims my whole screen squishes down to a 800x600 resolution size and then crashes (I've added a photo).
Thank you.

Download these two files:
Graphic Rules - NVIDIA - Texture Fix - Max Screen size 1920x1080
Video Cards.sgr - NVIDIA - 1391
And install them into these folders:
\Program Files (x86)\EA\The Sims 2 - Mansion and Gardens\TSData\Res\Config\
\Program Files (x86)\EA\The Sims 2 - Mansion and Gardens\TSData\Res\CSConfig\
MUST BE INSTALLED IN BOTH FOLDERS
That should fix your problem.

Thank you for your help, but the new graphics rules didn't have much effect, I still have the same error but my resolution didn't shrink this time.
I'll upload the Config log again.
Do you think a complete re-installation would help?
Many thanks

Edit:
I'm going to reinstall the Sims. I read on Mod the Sims that you can't uninstall and reinstall expansion and stuff packs when you have sims 2 deluxe, and that is exactly what I have been doing. Hopefully a complete re-install and the new graphics rules you've make for me will get the game to work.

Thank you! My game finally works! I had to reinstall it, and then used your graphics rules (I changed the default resolution to 1920x1080 as well), deleting caches and the userprops -
and it finally worked after 2 days of headache.
Thanks again.
