Problems sims 2

Great thinking. I used to play it before on an old computer, and got a new laptop. So I installed it on my new laptop, and it loads and installs fine, but when I click to go into a neighborhood, it says: Application has crashed. Application will now terminate. I need help!! Help me!!!!!!!! It was crazy lol.. Honestly… My email is Natty30stm yahoo. Somebody help me please! My goodness! K, I tried what you told me to do… but… it made no difference except that the game ran a little slower.

Thanks very much!! Brentonss LIVE. Do not change the variable names, only change the resolution numbers. No matter what the config decides to do, it will be forced to use the resolution you have selected regardless of whether the previous variables have been set to true or false.

I have to say, this is one of the most annoying and unreliable methods I have seen for a game to chose a resolution. Another thing people may want to consider if this fix is not working for them, make sure you are editing the graphics file in the folder for the newest expansion pack you have installed. Or is that something that is still out there to find? Thanks for offering the solution and I wish you the best. All the same, kudos on the work of genius! Hopefully I can put it to some use, as the resolution keeps me from playing the game for more than five minutes without wanting to break it.

I have follow the Vinny and the original post. I am using nvidia but I dont have something like Vinny mention. Any help??? The Sims 2 website did not have this valuable solution to a problem which has bugged me for a whole year, i was searching for this solution , Finally i can view both wants abd skills screens together,.

So how would I fix this for a NVidia ? I tried editing the file like the original poster but it just tells me that vista has disabled it to be changed. I still do not get it. Thank you so much to Vinny and the original poster. The website did not have this valuable solution to a problem which has bugged me since installing my NVidia GeForce Oh,thank you so much!

Thank you for the solution, you made my day!! I open it in Notepad, do the necessary edits and then go to save it and it saves it as a. Help after I was done editing i rename the file back from txt to sgr but it stay txt what am i doing wrong?

Um…I tried and I still cannot get the game to give me more options on screen resolution! Help if you can. I am still having trouble with the resolution changes. I followed the directions as you advised and still there is no option on the controls of the game for the higher resolution. The file I changed made a shortcut and they all read the same file name with the Graphics Rules. Now there are 4 file with the same name. My 2nd comment is that it has taken about 1 hour to load the game and it is really slow.

I have a pentium 4 processor and this should not be happening. I never had any problems with the Sims original game and expansions. My 12 year old daughter has gotten right into it over the last 8 months. She even reads the Sims2 fiction on the site. Sim or anyone: does the greater resolution cause a performance hit? PS: to chiki: You have to rename Graphics Rules. I want to thank very very much for you solution.

I myself have been trying for more than a week searching for an answer to this question. I also made a call to Sims in the Netherlands, but they neither could help. So once again I admire your skill in handling software problems. Right click on the file and open. Use the select a program option and click OK, find Notepad and use it open the file. Your email address will not be published. Run your game and if you can, start a fresh neighbourhood.

Play it for a while - does the same bug occur? Does it get past the point you'd normally expect it to lock up or crash to desktop? If the problem still persists then it is not due to custom content, but rather that there is a problem with your game installation, your computer's software or even hardware. Such matters are well beyond the scope of the Support that Parsimonious can provide. I recommend this Sims Wiki topic:. If the problem goes away when you take out your custom content downloads then it is something you have installed.

If you suspect a bad file is causing your game to crash then you'll need to identify and get rid of it. There's no quick and easy answer to this, especially if you download large quantities of custom content without paying close attention to compatibility or usage instructions.

The Sims 2 will not start when you click on the icon to run it. This is a common problem and often easily fixed. Open your main Sims 2 directory:. View more. Help us improve Answers HQ!
