| As a lot of you will no anyway, the res in the Sims 2 is 600x800.
__________________
I have tried going into the settings through the game (the three dotty things) And it offers a change of Screen Resolution in a box (yay!) The Options are (getting really excited now :P) 800x600 and thats it. (oh *!$£*&^%$^£*"*!&"^£%£$&$%"&"*"**£&%$^$&£&"*!^) I realise I cant do it through the game but i wondered if someone could tell me a way of doing it through the files for it or whatever. Thanks, Ollie. Edit: PS should this be here in PC games? or should I have put it in Graphics and Monitors? oh dear... My System: FordyPC

| what is your screen size in inches and the res? anyway to set your own res go onto the shortcut on your desktop, right click, properties and you'll find "target" next to it is it should say something like "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" now type this
__________________
-r<width>x<height> so it should look like this: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" -r<width>x<height> where it says width and height put your desired res so to run it in 1024x 768 it would be this: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" -r<1024>x<768> hope i helped.

| If the option isn't available in the game it's likely to be because your hardware doesn't support the res. Changing files manually to force it is probably not a good idea.

| This is a common complaint with nVidia cards and The Sims2.
