Sims 2 Resolution and Special Event Fixes

[tempalil]

i can't scroll now how do i make it full screen ?

[KimNek]

@tempalil Calm down. As said in the video, -w allows you to play in windowed mode. In order to make my screen bigger, I chose the screen resolution I wanted. I personally do not like to play in full-screen mode because I multitask. If you want to go back to full-screen, remove the -w from your file location chain. If you have a wide screen monitor, enter your resolution values for it in the min / max options shown in this video.

ONE PROBLEM I CAN SCROLL

[tempalil]

but now its not full screen :( but the screen size is better now mine was streched for some reason

[tempalil]

it woundn't work on my laptop its windows 7 basicy when i enter the -w but make sure you enter "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Nightlife\TSBin\Sims2EP2.exe"(­space)-w dont write space just don't forget to put the space there

[Littlecupoframen]

none of my expansion packs have the "-w" in the target area..

i keep on writing in the cheat to enable.. but it wont work...YES: I did write it in the CORRECT spelling..

[LoverLautnerTaylor1]

after the video is made with the special event camera, where do i go to find them...cause they weren't my videos file...so where should i go to find them i made like three.

[KimNek]

@LoverLautnerTaylor1

I would not know for your specific computer. You might have changed the file location. By default, movies go to My documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Movies.

[briozaver]

idk why but it don't want to work on win 7 :(

[KimNek]

@briozaver

[hallism8]

@KimNek i turned the special event camera on with the cheat n one of the events just happened which was first kiss and the game froze n it just skiped it can u tell me y

[KimNek]

@hallism8

Yes - you probably do not have a graphics card or processor capable of rendering the models at the movie frame rate.  Try turning down the graphic qualities and / or playing at a smaller resolution. I hope this helps!

[planb4life567]

omg thanks so much!

[KimNek]

@planb4life567

You're welcome. :D

[lns102099]

hey again I was wondering how do u have a video camera on your computer?

[KimNek]

@lns102099

There are various programs out there to do it.

I forget which I was using at this time.

[lns102099]

@KimNek ok thanks but when u find it tell me please

[lns102099]

when i opened up the graphics i didn't have the screen sizes and i did EVERYTHING! please help!

[KimNek]

@lns102099

Make sure you have replaced ALL of the files with your new Graphic Rules file. You may have more / less expansion packs than I do, so when it doubt, search them out. Also, my monitor's resolution may differ from yours. Also, if you have a wide-screen resolution, use those numbers in the low-settings and not the numbers I used.

[KimNek]

@DestinyJoy15

Or are you referring to the screen resolution?

[KimNek]

@DestinyJoy15

Make sure you're not in the options window when you enter the command.

Once you enter the command, go back to the camera options, and it should be highlighted.

Always check your spelling too.

[moon1sprite]

do you have to fallow these steps to get the cheat working it dint work for me for some reason

[moon1sprite]

i did the last one

[KimNek]

@moon1sprite You do not have to do everything in this tutorial to get the "cheat" to work. It's not really a cheat as it's an override command.

First, make sure you're NOT in the camera options subscreen when you enter the cheat. Notice, I close out of that before I open my cheat box.

Ctrl + Shift + C to open your cheat box.

boolprop choosecameraspecialeventenable­d true

Then hit enter and re-open your camera options subscreen. From there, enable the special events camera.

[moon1sprite]

I had to go with out this for three years...

[KimNek]

@moon1sprite I'm glad I could help you out though. :D

[SonoftheSouth91]

[KimNek]
