We have every console, we need a thread about the best way to play games, da pee cee.
Use this thread to discuss the best (and maybe worst) games for da pee cee. Ask of your computer can run Crysis! Ask if your computer can run Half Life 2! Ask if your computer can run GTA4! Discuss gaming builds, find out what GPU to buy, find out if your new processor sucks, get told that you can't stick a Core 2 Duo in an AM2+ board! Find out what we think of the latest and greatest games for da pee cee! |

well...i need your help. I cant figure out how to get wide screen settings in the game.
Like my last monitor was 1027x756 and now mines 1680x1050 and for some reason sims 2 has no wide screen settings...or at least i cant find it. so i was wondering if you knew how i can get the settings or just anyway to help me out. |

It's an issue with nVidia cards.
Look for the Graphics Rules.sgr file in C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2/Seasons/TSData/Res/Config/Graphics Rules.sgr Open "Graphics Rules.sgr" in notepad. Look for "option ScreenModeResolution" and you will see settings for Low, Medium, and High. Set all the resolution settings to 1680 x 1050 |

Seasons before tsdata
Copy paste file:///C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2/Seasons/TSData/Res/Config/ into your browser If you get an error, then something is missing, or I typed the path wrong. |

CODE option ScreenModeResolution setting $Low uintProp maxResWidth 800 uintProp maxResHeight 600 uintProp defaultResWidth 800 uintProp defaultResHeight 600 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 If i want to change it to 1680x1050...what parts do i change?

Joseph, the answer would be Half Life 2, because of the extreme amount of customization allowed on the source engine. Games like Zombie Panic: Source, Garry's Mod, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Insurgency, Counter Strike: Source, etc. would have never been created if there was no Half Life 2.
CODE option ScreenModeResolution setting $Low uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 setting $MediumButDefaultLow uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 setting $Medium uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 setting $High uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 This should work. |
