Trying to get Sims 2 to work on dedicated graphics card
#1 05-04-2016 
I have tried to find another post, but the only one that came close said they did something sucurom to fix it.

I want my game to recognize my Nvidia 840M card. I have the rules and cards downloads for it, however it's all gross looking and flickering. I can't adjust smooth edges. I know before I was told that I didn't need the texture fix, but without it I can't get max resolution. My log also shows that it is not recognizing the card changes.

I can get it to get work with intel (the integrated card).

If I try to force the other card (in the nvidia 3d settings) the game won't open in windowed mode and locks the computer up in full screen.

UPDATE: Now it does recognize the card only I can't get it to open at all. I've tried fixing the compatibility and everything. Textures still a mess and can't smooth edges.
