I just got my computer this xmas and I can't believe how much I was missing while playing the Sims! The grahics are amazing. Just one problem ... everything is too small. I'm using a 19" Widescreen (1440x900) and It runs on Vista. When I change my sims hair or something in the mirror it looks so tiny. The graphics and texts are very small. I have to really get close to my screen to play. I think I'm supposed to go to the Graphics Rules.sgr and edit there, but it won't let me save it. The Read-Only is UNchecked and it tells me "Cannot create the C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\TSData\Res\Config\Graphics Rules.sgr file. Make sure the path and the file name are correct." (Yes, I only have that 1 ep). Is there anything I could do to fix this without having to reinstall my game? |

What program are you using to edit the graphics rules file with? Try saving it somewhere else and then copy-pasting it into the original location. |

I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will

Are you running as an administrator? Vista's "security features" are purposefully designed to stop things working, and they have a very high success rate in this. I've seen a lot of people who couldn't change configs or save games (not in TS2) because Vista wouldn't allow their account to edit files within Program Files. |

Wow, why didn't I think of that? I was frustrating myself for hours trying to figure it out. It worked! Thank you so much.
