      Grayed out options are usually due to wrong/low quality settings in Graphic Rules.srg, you can fix it with Graphic Rules Maker, but be careful not to choose “do not force” in texture memory. GRM has has a serious bug that you would like to avoid.

    I downloaded the game and it installed no issues, but whenever I try to interact with an object or another sim the menu doesn’t stay up long enough for me to choose anything, how do I fix this?

    My game glimpes and it’s so annoying to play with. I searched solutions and they said to download graphics rulers maker but there is no difference. Then, I tried to change the files graphics rules but I can’t save it because it says I don’t have the right to do it and I should contact the administrator of this files… What should I do now, please ?

      You have to move graphicrules.srg to another path before editing it, and then move it back to its original one. GRM needs administrator permissions to write to the file, maybe something went wrong and that’s why there is no difference.

    Hi there. I have everything dowloaded for the game and the icon up on my computer, however I never had a redist folder on my original download. everything else is there, however when I start the game it only plays the intro then it stuck on the home screen. I’m wondering why I didn’t have a redist folder. Thank you for any help on this issue

    Hello there, I have downloaded the game and run it as an administrator but I keep getting an error saying that I dont have DirectX9.0c compatible and so it doesnt even open. I have found on Microsoft website the Directx 9 files, downloaded and installed but the problem persist. Looking online I have found that if I click windows+r i open the “run” program and by placing this: “C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJThe Sims 2 Ultimate CollectionThe Sims 2 Mansion and Garden StuffTSBinSims2EP9.exe”-w then it opens as windowed. However, it lasts for like 5 mins before it crashes. Any solution? Apparently some people in different forums says that it is possible to play in full screen and that should avoid that it crashes. But I cant make it work in full screen because then I have the error of DirectX 🙁 In any case I am running it as an administrator. Please help 🙂

        Hello! thank you for your quick reply 🙂

        I am so sorry but I am not an expert on the subject. What do you mean graphic rules maker? How do I do that?

        I have been looking in other forums and tried several options, but no success. The game opens only in windowed mode but for no more than 5 minutes before it crashes 🙁

          Thank youuu!! Still doesnt open in full screen but at least in windowed mode it seems to be working…so far is running without any issues! I will let you know later on the final result 🙂

          In any case thank you for your assistance so far 🙂

          If you want to ‘give’ more time to tweak the game, you can run the game with borderless windowed mode, so that your game appears to be running at fullscreen, while you get the windowed mode advantages (such as more stable and fast switching between other apps)

          There are a lot of tutorial for ‘borderless windowed’ on internet, but i personally use this program: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/7061-borderless-gaming.html

          Hello there!! thank you for checking! You are better than EA customer service itself ahahaha in the past when I have posted or contacted them directly they hardly ever reply ahaha

          The game is amazing! Sometimes it just closes by itself, specially when I send the Sims on holidays but not always. So I save the game before doing as you may never know when it happens. But it hasnt give me any sort of error, just vanished so I have no idea why that could be. For the rest is great!

    Hello! Thank you for the game and the instructions. I have done all the steps and start the game as an administrator. However, I can not open the game as I get an error saying: “Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate.”

    Have you got any solution for this?

    Thank you so much 🙂
