Resolutions for TS2

[Wano97]

Anyone has any idea how to change resolutions for The sims 2? I have edited the resolutions in the config file, but it doesn't let me choose the resolutions in-game. Only 800x600 is possible.

Update your GPU drivers

The game's max res is 1600x1200. For higher resolutions you need to edit C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Config\Graphics Rules.sgr and set maxResWidth and maxResHeight to your display's native width and height

I've done that. That's the first thing I even did. And my GPU drivers are ALWAYS up to date

remember, you actually have to change the resolution IN GAME with this fix after you have done it.

or

 

 

 

1. Find the file: C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/YOUR LAST EP OR SP INSTALLED/TSData/Res/Config/Graphics Rules.sgr

Replace the part in bold with your last EP or SP installed - eg for OFB it would be The Sims2 Open For Business 

When you install a new EP or SP you will need to edit the Graphics Rules.sgr file again, for that installation.

2. Make a copy it under a different name as a backup - e.g. Graphics Rules.bak THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you find you need to undo this you will need that backup.

3. Open the original file in Notepad

4. Find the section "option ScreenModeResolution"

5. You will see settings for low, medium and high. Edit the high settings to your required resolution. For example:

setting $High
uintProp maxResWidth 1680
uintProp maxResHeight 1050
uintProp defaultResWidth 1680
uintProp defaultResHeight 1050


6. Save (remembering to save as an .sgr file not a .txt file) and exit.

7. Start the game. Go into the graphics option once the game is loaded. You should be able to select your required resolution.
