Just let the game take its time booting up and do not try to rush it. But as ive learned from playing the sims with many expansions and regarding their size do not spam click or try to rush the computer that causes my sims 3 game to crash and would likely result in this gaem crashing too. THis game seems to boot up fairly quickly for a sims game and I enjoy playing it. Some things I've learned from past sims games is that they are often very large and need a lot of time to boot up. If you wanna take the chance and spend $30 to buy it I would because it is definetly worth it if it does.
I have a mac mini and it works 100% fine on my computer. Im not quite sure if they've fixed the bugs.

Play all of the award winning content from the original plus the addition of 6 expansion packs and 3 “stuff” packs never before packaged together. Or neglect their needs, indulge in their fears, and see what happens… You are now able to play in a larger screen size.Take your Sim from cradle to the grave through life’s greatest moments!Ĭreate your own houses, neighborhoods, Sims-then watch it all come to life! Manage your Sims, so they experience the rewards of a life well lived. STEP 6 – You should now see that in the Screen Size settings you have many more options! Select the desired size and hit Apply Settings. Once you have entered a Neighborhood go to the Options then Graphics/Performance Options. STEP 5 – Edit “uintProp maxResWidth” to 1920 and “uintProp maxResHeight” to 1080 in all four sections so you see something that looks like this:Īnd that’s all you need to do in this file! Hit Save and exit the file then open the game up. These two options are what tells the game which resolution mode to play in. From here you will want to edit “uintProp maxResWidth” and “uintProp maxResHeight”. I play on a 1080×1920 monitor so the settings I am demonstrating are based on that, if you have higher or lower resolutions sizes, adjust it to your own settings. Depending on your monitor resolution you may want to have different settings. This section is what allows your game to play in different resolutions. This will take you to the required section. STEP 4 – Press Ctrl+F to open the Find box and enter this line in (without any spaces and quotes) “ScreenModeResolution” then click Find Next. Now that you have told the game to let you use higher settings it’s time to change those resolutions. This will tell the game to use the “high” settings within this file. Change “seti Low 1” and “seti Medium 2” to “seti Low 3” “seti Medium 3”. These tell the game which default mode to start in and in some cases it will prevent you from changing options in the game. STEP 3 – Near the top of this file you will find the following lines: “seti Low 1” “seti Medium 2” and “seti High 3”. The Sims 2 often forces the game to play in only low settings if it can’t recognise a graphics card, which will be almost everyone now due to the newer cards since The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden first released. The first thing that you are going to want to do is “tell” the game to allow you to use higher settings. (If it asks you to select a program to open it with select NotePad) STEP 1 – In order to change the resolution for your game you will need to locate GraphicRules.sgr in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config.īACK UP this file somewhere safe! Either to a USB stick or in My Documents!!
