Hi,
So the problem started yesterday after I installed new memory in my laptop. The game had all resolutions but when I launched it twice today I had it was stuck in 800x600 and the was the only resolution listed. I uninstalled all the packs including the base game and reinstalled them only to end up with the same resolution.
My system is a win 10 64 bit and Graphics card is AMD HD Radeon 8400/R3 series I've checked my graphics settings and everything is fine it's just graphics via game. Also I do not use origin when playing TS2. I have them on Disc.
Edit: The game was fine yesterday until installing the new memory.

Thanks for your response.
I looked up the program but don't feel like downloading another 3rd party program since I already have SimPe and grumpy loader (For the updates), I also read about changing the settings themselves in the config graphics files and would have to do it for every one of the packs (Which I did). When I tried that after reading SimVip it wouldn't let me save it. I backed up all the con files and after that it still wouldn't let me save it. The graphics settings were still at 800 x 600 resolution.
I also saw I would had to downlad note++ with graphic rules maker too.
Edit: I forgot to mention how I got all the resolutions the first time was opening Simpe and body shop prior to loading the game when first installing it on my new laptop.

@JULES1111 Thank you again. I got the game to run normally with full screen and edge smoothing once again. I used notepad++ and also had to change setb texturememorysize from false to true to get the edge smoothing back. Did not have to use graphic rules maker thankfully.
Glad you got it all working again. The graphic rules maker just automatically (sometimes) does these changes. So if you don't mind doing them by hand you don't need the graphic rules maker.
I used the old notepad (no ++) to change it way before the graphics rules maker was made. I'm really glad it was made, so much better for me.
I can see you don't mind CC so a simple file editor... I don't get it but you be you.
It wasn't that hard to edit just mostly just changing scripting.
I may use it next time if I ever have to re-install TS2 which I may have to this weekend. had to re order Apartment life.
I always forgot to save my graphics file edits back in the day.
I know some games such as The Sims 2 Double Deluxe, The Sims 2 Seasons, and The Sims Castaway Stories can lock their resolution to 800x600 if the game is played on an older card even if the older game (e.g., The Sims 2 Pets) hadn't experienced that issue. I had an eMachines with an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE which worked in The Sims 2 Pets (I was able to change the resolution) but not in The Sims 2 Seasons (I was stuck on 800x600).
Black box is a graphics card issue. I've got that issue and I'm on Windows 7. I mod the black box issue out.
Seasons and Pets increased the minimum requirements so cards that once were good enough to have settings above minimum became unable to have settings above minimum.
Base game had a set. Then Pets came out and raised it. Then Seasons came out and raised it again.
