Hey you...i need your help actually.

Hey you...i need your help actually.
Elaborate.
well...do you have a widescreen? and do you play sims 2?
I have a widescreen, but I haven't played Sims 2 in months.
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

Whats your current favorite pc game? I have actually never been a gamer.
ok so i found this...
option ScreenModeResolution

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

If i want to change it to 1680x1050...what parts do i change?
Sorry...im just afraid im going to mess something up

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.

I never got into that game, but I'm a bit of a graphics whore, and the game's v_models and npcs aren't so pretty.
what's a better racer out there that you'd recommend?
well if they're on the PC, Gran Turismo, or Project Gotham Racing ^^^

Because this is the PC gaming topic, not the 360 topic.

What OS is it running? If it's vista, you don't have a gaming rig at all, but running XP that thing would rape just about everything.

There are a few cheaters atm.
But in final release there wont be much.
I never spoke to the GMs about the release. But will ask them.
Im sure to get a negative reply.
I saw it at E3 like 4 years ago and thought it looked awesome. I want this game.....
HOLY! Just saw the Gamemovie of Huxley.

I have XP in my machine. I would only need more RAM if I had Vista. Vista really doesn't bog down the processor or video card to much. Anyway, what really defines a computer as a gaming rig anyway? According to ATI I have a gaming card:

According to Corsair I have a gaming power supply:

The Corsair HX620W/HX520W power supply is versatile and robust. Utilizing superior triple +12V power rails and a whisper quiet double ball-bearing 120mm fan, the HX620W/HX520W is ready for today’s most power hungry components.
I have a fast HDD, I have a fast CPU, and I have enough RAM. I can play crisis on high without a blip. I have a gaming rig. It's just not overkill. A.k.a. I didn't waste my money.
CPU is moderately fast. My old Acer laptop had one of those, and couldn't run shit. Although I'm sure integrated graphics was the major hindrance there.
