How to Fix The Sims 2 on Windows 10 (Resolution, Smooth Edges, Shadows & Crashing) (The Basics)
Hi if my screen resolution is higher than 1920 x 1080, can i bump up the game's resolution also even higher? ex my screen is 2560 x 1440. Thank you!
Simple and straight to the point. Thank YOU!
just tried this and it still work! love love love this. Thank you so much <3
Girl I’ve also been trying to play the sims 2 again and I’m so excited BUT I don’t even remember what mods I have and what do they do….
what if i just move graphics rules.sgr on deskop and change it and move it back
ive tried this multiple times and it wont work :( i tried on fun w pets and also my most recent pack just to make sure i did the right one, but no matter what i do it wont work. I even tried Graphics Rules Maker but no other screen size options show up in game
so true
Yessss~~ it works for me!
Thank you so much for this clear, calm and complete video. I have solved all my problems and I owe it to you ! Thanks again !
It actually stopped my game from crashing,I've been looking for a solution and it turns out to be the shader all along🫠🫠
Thank you SO... SO MUCH for explaining everythng! ❤
Please, whenever i try to create a sims its doesnt work and ends up saying applications crash and terminated. I cant create sims amd i cant open and play any household
omg no the camera drives me crazy, i cant go up and down wow i didn't even know they stopped aging when they're pregnant T-T I must admit, it's the second time i try playing the sims 2 and it's a bit hard to get into it since i'm so used to the sims 3. I feel a bit lost and not confortable yet, it's like getting out of my comfort zone.
Thank you so much it actually worked ❤️
If anyone's still watching this tutorial in 2024: Use CTRL + H to do "Find & Replace" instead of CTRL + F for "Find" on the Smooth Edges step. Then put in "enumerateMultisampleLevels false" in the Find box and "enumerateMultisampleLevels true" in the Replace box. Then click Replace All. No need to go doing it one by one. Also, mucking around with security permissions on files is a bad habit to get into. Not so dangerous in this case but change the wrong permission on the wrong file and you can lock yourself out of Windows. Instead I recommend right click on Notepad in the Start menu and click "Run as administrator" then find the file by going to "File > Open" in the Notepad menu, rather than finding the file in Explorer first and then trying to open it with Notepad. Then you have the right to save the file from the beginning without needing to muck about with permissions. Although this is only a problem if your game is installed in the Program Files folder.
@Pixuou. please help I did and followed everything you showed and mentioned in your video but my game still crashing and also said there's files have been deleted from the game. and it was also saying my sims 2 isn't installed on my pc system when it is. I have also been getting pink flashing on objects what should I do?
Welcome back 😊 loved the vid!
"But they are my pixel people" ❤🥹 That's exactly how I feel about my sims family in the Sims 3 So glad to stumble upon your content, such cosy vibes
I’d love a video on how to set this up! I’ve tried making my own Uberhood and can’t seem to figure it out.
Would love a full ultimate hood tour! ❤
Glad to have you back. This was lovely. Looking forward to seeing more
I love how organized your game is considering the number of families
A technical question, can I include a newline character in an alias expansion, either using or an actual newline within the quotation marks?
Okay we totally need ur files for the uuberhood
Nobody likes Veronaville.
i do!
Love the map!
This is so cool! I've daydreamed about doing something similar too to see all the sims across hoods meet each other, but I'm lazy 😅 I can't even imagine how much work and dedication this took you, you're really on another level 🤩 The map, the TS3 traits, all the different sim-owned businesses, it's just *chef's kiss* 👌🏻 I'm excited to know about this ultimate hood's stories, I'll definitely check out your tumblr 😊
Hiii! Missed you girlie 🥹💕
This is awesome!
I've done this before, with a professor I moved in with a sim from Veronaville. He was romance, so their relationship eventually fell apart, but I found that he kept getting a lot of expensive stuff from dates, so he never had to work! I should go back to playing him. It's been years, haha :)
omg I have missed youuuuuuuuu!
Best and only useful guide to help me change my resolution. Thank you so much!
OMG the maps of how the neighbourhoods are connected!!! I know it's not canon but seeing how the neighbourhoods (possibly) link together after 20 years is amazing! 🥹 Thank you for making them!
i had so much fun making them and am so happy that they're done and i can finally visualise the city!
Welcome back pretty lady! I love how much stuff you keep track of and your map was a brilliant idea! I love when people share their sims stories that go on in their game, one of my favorite things to see on my tumblr timeline! Can't wait to see more :)
thank you so much Maks <3
SHES BACK
Oh wow you really have The Sims autism
Welcome back omg i love this update
Great to see you again - I'm glad that your passion for the game has returned. I can really sympathize with getting swallowed up by work. Love seeing all of the ideas, the way you use the spreadsheets and hearing about how your gameplay has developed and is keeping being developed. And what a cool way to put a map together for all the subhoods and to weave that into an election as well ⭐Looking forward to seeing more from you - I'm definitely interested in seeing more of this hood and where the families are at currently 🥰
thank you so much Ani 🥺❤
I guess there is something missing, idk I tried it using the ultimate collection and is not working
U are back!!! Yaaaaay! ❤❤❤ i wish to see more of ur plays on Sims 2! I wached and rewatched all ur old stuff cuz i missed u too much! Kisses❤
This is literally what I’ve been doing in my gameplay, can’t wait to see your ideas for the plot
I love this! Out of interest, how do you handle Townies in this? (Unsure if it was mentioned in the video) I'd love to have one of these myself but i'm unsure how and if to have townies.
HIII PIXUU welcome back i'm a fan
Very smart to make Belladonna Cove the main neighborhood due to the issues with Sims in apartments. Thanks for sharing how you are managing this. This is a pretty amazing undertaking!
What was the issue so i can avoid it please? Haven’t played TS2 in a loooong while but wanna get back into it
@@BS34BY , you mentioned that with this neighborhood, if you don't have Belladonna Cove as the main hood, the families in apartments are moved out. The way you did this, you avoided having to move them back in. I am starting an Uberhood using your suggestions. So, thanks!
So good to see you again!!
First of all, I'm really happy to see you back on TH-cam. I've been wondering for a couple of years "Where did that girl that showed us Riverside go?"🤔 Second, I've always wanted to do the same kind of a map for my Reasoned Pleasantview and I'm glad to know I'm not the only freak like that 😄Third, thanks for sharing your Ultimatehood spreadsheet, I'll definitely check out when the premades were born according to you, because I have so much doubts about it myself.
Love opening TH-cam and seeing that you've uploaded a video. Can't wait for more and I'm definitely going to check out your tumblr
Hood tour! Hood tour! Hood tour! Also, welcome back! Love a simmer with a speadsheet.
