Hi! I was playing The Sims 2 smoothly at a resolution of 1024x768, but when I installed The Sims 2 Bon Voyage, it only offers me a single resolution of 800x600, which is very annoying! Please tell me how to fix it!!!

    I'm good, managed by myself! lol So for those who were in the same situation as me and are about to break a wall, here’s the fabulous answer:

    1. Go to My Computer
    2. Find the hard drive where The Sims 2 is installed
    3. Open Program Files (if it’s hidden, open it anyway)
    4. EA Games
    5. Open The Sims 2 OR IMPERATIVE the last Expansion Pack you installed.
    6. Open TSData
    7. open Res
    8. Config and find the file named "Graphics Rules"
    9. Open it with Windows Notepad
    10. Find the lines (x4) setb forceLowResolution true and replace true with false!
    11. Then go towards the end and you’ll see this:

    option ScreenModeResolution
    setting $Low
    uintProp maxResWidth 600
    uintProp maxResHeight 600
    uintProp defaultResWidth 600
    uintProp defaultResHeight 800

    setting $MediumButDefaultLow
    uintProp maxResWidth 1280
    uintProp maxResHeight 1024
    uintProp defaultResWidth 800
    uintProp defaultResHeight 600

    setting $Medium
    uintProp maxResWidth 1280
    uintProp maxResHeight 1024
    uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
    uintProp defaultResHeight 768

    setting $High
    uintProp maxResWidth 1600
    uintProp maxResHeight 1200
    uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
    uintProp defaultResHeight 768

    Modify only the first small text and it gives:

    option ScreenModeResolution
    setting $Low
    uintProp maxResWidth 1280
    uintProp maxResHeight 1024
    uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
    uintProp defaultResHeight 768

    setting $MediumButDefaultLow
    uintProp maxResWidth 1280
    uintProp maxResHeight 1024
    uintProp defaultResWidth 800
    uintProp defaultResHeight 600

    setting $Medium
    uintProp maxResWidth 1280
    uintProp maxResHeight 1024
    uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
    uintProp defaultResHeight 768

    setting $High
    uintProp maxResWidth 1600
    uintProp maxResHeight 1200
    uintProp defaultResWidth 1024
    uintProp defaultResHeight 768

    There you go, restart your game and you’ll have the resolutions -800x600
    -1024x768
    -1280xzé forgot ^^ Voilou! good luck!

      Thank you very much, after changing the motherboard and reinstalling The Sims 2, I couldn't change the screen resolution. Your solution fixed this issue.
