Hello!!!
I have a little problem actually, I installed The Sims 2, I played it and everything, and one day I don’t know why it gives me a message:
"No compatible DirectX 9.0c graphics card! Check that your computer has a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card and the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will be closed."
What should I do to play The Sims 2 again? !!!!
It’s been a month and a half that I can't play, so you are my last hope!!!
(cries)

Hello,
After a few days of research, I have the answer!
Response for the error: "No compatible Direct9.Oc graphics card! Please check that your computer is equipped with a DirectX9.Oc compatible graphics card as well as the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will be closed."
Solution:
1) Set the color quality to 16 bits.
To do this: Go to your desktop, right-click, and click on "Properties". Go to the "Settings" tab and change the "Color quality" to 16 bits. Click OK.
2) Force the game to open in a window
To do this: Right-click on the icon where you launch the game and select "Properties". Then change your "Target" field from "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" to: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" -w
THE END OF THE TARGET FIELD MUST END WITH A SPACE FOLLOWED BY -w
Then click OK
Good luck and enjoy the game (Your game will be in a window).

Hi, my problem with The Sims 2 is that my DVD-RW drive won't even read it!!!
What do you think is the reason it doesn't work?
What steps should I take?
Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem... I was playing The Sims 2 yesterday and before playing I got this word... I restarted the computer and it worked. But today I had the same problem, I restarted the computer but it doesn't work... I don't understand anything.
Hi,
have you updated your graphics card drivers?
have you run a scan with your antivirus?

As matmat27 said, it looks like a driver problem!
If your PC is a brand-name computer, like NEC, Packard Bell, etc., note the serial number behind the CPU: s/n xxxxx
and go to the manufacturer's website, you will find the details of your hardware!
Otherwise, install Sandra

Hello, I have another problem which is that for The Sims 2, you need DirectX 9 and for this driver, you need a good license. The issue is that I don't have the logo of the XP license that it's asking for. Where can I find it and how do I install it?
Help me please.
Help me please.
Hi, I installed Sims 2, and at the end it said: failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in the system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible one. So I couldn't play.
Hi,
in order to play, you first need to have a graphics card, so I recommend you to already know the brand...
go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers.
Note: if the graphics card is an Nvidia, go to the website: www.nvidia.com, there click on DOWNLOAD DRIVERS, and then you have 2 choices, if you know your graphics card that's great, otherwise, choose option 2.

I had the same problem with The Sims 2 tonight. Message "No DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card detected?...". After many attempts, I finally updated my graphics card driver (NVIDIA) and now it works. It's amazing!
To update the graphics card driver, I went to the NVIDIA website and you can download the update. That's it.

Hi! I have a problem with The Sims 2! I installed it and everything, but when I start it, it says: "No DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card! Please check that your computer has a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card and the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will be closed." What should I do!? Please help me!
I had the same problem as all of you...
Graphics card: Ati Mobility Radeon 9000 (laptop)
The game didn't even start once...
On my home PC, it works fine (but runs extremely slowly)
I bought this laptop for €400 and I heard that if I wanted to change the graphics card, I would have to pay more than the computer itself...
I really need your help...

I have a big problem with The Sims 2 Deluxe...
I bought it 3 years ago and it has always worked perfectly, but the problem today is that it runs when I start it up, but when I select a neighborhood (like Pleasantview, for example), instead of grass, there are numbers... Everything else works normally except for that :( I don't know what to do at all and I don't know anything about computers, so graphics card or anything like that is all Greek to me :( I'm on Vista, so if anyone has a solution, I would really appreciate it... Thank you.
