Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Thanks for the info!

Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. I love the sims, but for some reason never bothered with sims 2. Considering I most likely won't be able to get sims 4 since EA hates mac, I'm totally going to download this.
Thanks x1000
Edit.. of course its windows only. EA I STILL HATE YOU

Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
For a bit of reassurance for anyone a bit skeptical, it downloaded fine and runs fine, no bugs, freezing, add ons or anything and everything's thereCoralCat wrote:Ooooh yay, I'm downloading Origin now so that I can download these

Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
I installed it and I'm disappointed that I can't change the resolution. 800x600 on my 21" wide screen monitor looks like crap.

Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
Hmmm, worked for me once. I saved it and now when I try and load any family it just stays loading forever.
Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
Hi! Sorry to pull up this old thread, but I remembered reading your comment and wanted to tell you that there is a solution :)Kleineganz wrote:I installed it and I'm disappointed that I can't change the resolution. 800x600 on my 21" wide screen monitor looks like crap. :(
Maybe you've found out about it by now, but you can actually fix this by editing the config file. You just have to go to program (or in my case Programme (x86))/Origin Games/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/Fun with Pets/SP9/TSData/Res/Config
then you have to edit the Graphic Rules file, but be sure to back it up beforehand. Open it up in an editor and look for the line "option ScreenModeResolution" (it's line 776, by the way).
Change the settings to this:
Code: Select all
option ScreenModeResolution
setting $Low
uintProp maxResWidth 1600
uintProp maxResHeight 900
uintProp defaultResWidth 800
uintProp defaultResHeight 600
setting $MediumButDefaultLow
uintProp maxResWidth 1600
uintProp maxResHeight 900
uintProp defaultResWidth 800
uintProp defaultResHeight 600
setting $Medium
uintProp maxResWidth 1600
uintProp maxResHeight 900
uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
uintProp defaultResHeight 768
setting $High
uintProp maxResWidth 1600
uintProp maxResHeight 900
uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
uintProp defaultResHeight 768
end
Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
Actually, my problem turns out to be my graphics card, which is in the process of dying. I did some research and the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection supports multiple screen resolutions out-of-the-box. I tested it on my laptop and have no problems there at all.Chappi wrote:Hi!

Change the settings to this:but make sure to replace the maxResWidth and maxResHeight for each one to your resolution. Voila, you can now change the resolution in the game!Code: Select all
option ScreenModeResolution setting $Low uintProp maxResWidth 1600 uintProp maxResHeight 900 uintProp defaultResWidth 800 uintProp defaultResHeight 600 setting $MediumButDefaultLow uintProp maxResWidth 1600 uintProp maxResHeight 900 uintProp defaultResWidth 800 uintProp defaultResHeight 600 setting $Medium uintProp maxResWidth 1600 uintProp maxResHeight 900 uintProp defaultResWidth 1024 uintProp defaultResHeight 768 setting $High uintProp maxResWidth 1600 uintProp maxResHeight 900 uintProp defaultResWidth 1024 uintProp defaultResHeight 768 end
