You need to install these two files

Video Cards - Radeon - 9830
Graphic Rules - Radeon - Texture Fix


WHERE TO INSTALL FIXES:
In the Program folders:

\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config\
\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\CsConfig\
MUST BE INSTALLED IN BOTH FOLDERS

How much RAM do you have? I'm a bit concerned that you only have 640Mb free memory.
Memory: 2048MB
Free memory: 640MB

That's not a lot for running your game, especially if you are using Custom Content.

Can you do another DXDiag, and do a 'save all information', then upload the dxdiag.txt and a new config-log.txt I want to see if your changes took.

Also can you confirm that you put both the files in both the folders?

OK. Lets fix this first. See where you have folders for Video Cards? The game can't find things in those folders so they need to be in taken out of the folder and put in the same place as the graphic rules.sgr.

Also make sure they are named Video Cards.sgr or the game won't find them.

But that's why your game is falling over - it can't find the Video Cards.sgr

Before you post requesting help
Information we need

  1. The -config-log.txt from the Logs folder in the My Documents\EA\The Sims2\ Click "full editor" below to attach a text file.
  2. Your operating System.
  3. What the problem actually is - that will be a picture to show the problem (optional), and accompanying text files that turn up (optional), and a detailed description of what happened, and what you expected to happen.


Sorry, that is a members only option
