Hi there,

Can anyone help me with the below? Everytime I have gone to create a family on the Sims 2 it crashes. I have tried to research how to fix this but I'm really bad with computers so I haven't got very far.. I am assuming the issue is <<NOT FOUND IN DATABASE>>? I have tried to trouble shoot compatibility but it still does not work. I am using Windows 8.

I have attached the Config-Log

Thankyou!!

I'm sure the <<NOT FOUND IN DATABASE>> is merely the beginning of your troubles. It is, however, one of the few small things I can help you with.
From the following part of you config-log:

Code:
Name (driver):   Intel(R) HD Graphics
Name (database): Intel(R) HD Graphics <<NOT FOUND IN DATABASE!>>
Vendor:          Intel
Chipset:         Vendor: 8086, Device: 0106, Board: 05551028, Chipset: 0009

I can tell that you need to go to the "TSData/Res/Config" folder in the installation folder of the expansion with which you normally start your game (sorry I cannot be specific, but you didn't give us a lot of information), then open the Video Cards.sgr file, go to the section that starts with:

Code:
vendor "Intel" 0x8086

and then add the following line immediately below that:
Code:
card 0x0106 "Intel(R) HD Graphics"

Then save the file, and make a copy of it in the CSConfig folder as well. Then start the game, pay a little, and shut it down again. Then see if the config-log has changed.
Then, in your next post, please be more specific what problems you have in the game, and maybe some of us may be more helpful.

Thankyou for your swift response. Sorry I wasn't very specific. Since my post I have found one of the original replies and downloaded the Graphics Rule Maker.. I thought this would fix the issue but now it wont even let me start the game and is coming up with this notice- "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adaptors in this system! Please sure you have a directx 9.0c compatible graphics adaptor and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer"

my config log is now saying this.. (attached)

Oh my goodness. GRM again? From what I can see, your config-log now looks all right, but I don't know how to fix anything that that #@^!$ GRM program screws up!

I hope that someone else here has more helpful info for you, because there's nothing more I can do right now.
