Closed Sims 2 and Graphics Cards - the fixes.

@12milematt - Kiri updated the file so you can use the one linked in the first post.

@celebkiriedhel, I got my Parallels situation to work using the solution found in the second post here. http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.ph...ics-Issues and editing the GraphicRules.sgr files of Fun with Pets > SP9 > TSData > Res > Config and CSConfig like you've said to edit. Thanks for all the help and please link this post if anyone else is using Parallels as well.

@Eternal2ndKira Thanks - I have updated the first post .

I Kiri, when i start the game this error message appear: "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system!Please make sure you have a direct X9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."

I can start the game in windowed mode but is very small.

My OS is Windows 8.1

Here's my log:

That would be the big issue, there is no crash log, music continues playing but my computer is obviously frozen and I have to open up the task manager and force close the program

My game is working now, yes, I put the Intel fix and its not crashing anymore. The typing thing was a problem with my keyboard so that was my fault XD. Thanks a lot!!

@Beckinpdx not a crash log - the log requested in the first post.

Thanks Kira - good to know!

@12milematt- go to the first post and get it from there. The Radeon fix is the same as the hatabear one. And it's on Lee's server which can cope with the bandwidth.
@Beckinpdx - Lee is right. the Config log is created first thing when you start up the game, so that it is looping at some point is not going to stop that.
@Baggaiverr - when you start your game, what compatibility do you have it set to? And also do you have it running as admin?

Hi Kiri,
I read the solution and still have a problem. I've got dual graphics (Radeon HD8750M and Intel HD Graphics 4600). I can't make game detect my Radeon card, which is much better. I tried to add it in Video Cards.sgr, but maybe I'm not doing it properly.
Here's my config-log.

@Cronox did you follow the steps in the first post?

1. go to Nvidia control panel / select your latest installed game (SP9 most often) / force the game to use the good graphics card (not the integrated one) by selecting Nvidia high perfomance;

2. Set Compatibility - if you have Windows 8, use Windows 7. If you have Windows 7 - try XP Service Pack 3.

3. and finally -always- run as an admin.
