Change “seti Low 1” and “seti Medium 2” to “seti Low 3” “seti Medium 3”. These tell the game which default mode to start in and in some cases it will prevent you from changing options in the game. STEP 3 – Near the top of this file you will find the following lines: “seti Low 1” “seti Medium 2” and “seti High 3”.

The first thing that you are going to want to do is “tell” the game to allow you to use higher settings. (If it asks you to select a program to open it with select NotePad) STEP 1 – In order to change the resolution for your game you will need to locate GraphicRules.sgr in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config.īACK UP this file somewhere safe!
