  • I have a GTX 650, fully updated. I had this problem a couple weeks ago but didn't think anything of the sort. Maybe, it could be the brightness. I changed all my brightness and etc to higher the contrast and stuff just to make the screen look more vivid. But, I reset it to the defaults in the Nvidia control panel yesterday…
  • Oh, that's odd. Try this: http://s71.photobucket.com/user/RyanSebertOliver/media/20140201_193446_zps66832964.jpg.html
  • I removed all my saves a couple of days ago for Island Paradise, I never used them anyway. So I dont have a save of Lucky Palms. Its always when I load it up, the sky does eventually change in a couple of Sim days, Im just curious because its supposed to be Summer lol.
  • I done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! Lol. It had something to do with Secure Boot and Legacy Boot in Windows 8 which was preventing me from booting with a different graphics card. I just wanna spread the word of this now because I know so many people facing this problem! Im so happy!!!
  • Ive done some research and found some interesting news. Firstly, some graphic cards require power from the actual psu, not the pci-e. And, you need to uninstall your device from device manager and remove any drivers. When I checked my PC when I was home, my GT640 driver was installed again, but I uninstalled it before I…
  • But this is so confusing and complicated. Im scared to spend my money just incase it doesnt work, im really stressed out over it!:(
  • Okay. Im really bummed that this has happened. :(
  • Ooops! When I said 'GPU' in my last post I meant Graphics card, meaning he tried both from the store which didnt work, it was on but no display. But my Nvidia GT 640 was working and displayed image. I dont know what gpu I have, i dont think, my default graphics card is Nvidia GT640, i have a HP 2311x Monitor 1920x1080, the…
  • Thankyou. I will post a link to my computer, and my NEW power supply. Could you please tell me whether the GTX 660 SC Version of EVGA's will work, because I did see other problems such as the BIOS not recognizing it, or something like that.…
  • This is not my day. I went on Sunday, my birthday, to upgrade my PC. I got told it would be finished the same day, no problem. I went home and never got a call back until the following morning which is the 17th at 9:45. I got told that they needed the password to install the driver. After that I was very pleased and…
  • Sorry I havent answered sooner, Ive had a kidney infection and im really ill. So basically, I copy my original .sgr files to my bin folder where my edited .sgr files are, then I copy and past the original ones, overwriting the edited ones, patch/install game, and then re-copy my edited .sgr files back?:)
  • Hey, guys! I'm back, just to update I have been playing recently with my new family, I finally got a horse, it used to lag whenever I adopted one. It doesn't now! Also, just got back from my grandma's. Me and her are going to visit my local PC World on upgrade options. I need to speak to them about suitable graphics cards,…
  • Really well! I am loving the performance. In my older gameplay, the performance would jitter when I hovered over tree's, fountains, large houses. Now, it's speeding through them. I had a little play of the Goth family in Sunset Valley, their house use to be slow for me, it's not anymore. Now I actually feel like I want to…
  • Yep! Just checked!:D it is Found: 1 Matched: 1 :) Thankyou very much!!
  • Oh my...I am really gonna break down in tears! The game is stunningly faster! No jittery performance, very smooth camera movements with all on high settings! I couldnt thankyou guys enough, saved me £350! You will all be gifted during this week and next <3
  • It.....worked! Just loading a world right now. Before I leave it though, what are the cautions of having this edited file, do I need to do anything before I patch when an update comes out?? And also, what are the .orig files actually needed for?
  • I was going to, I was just re-assuring incase I screwed everything up. :) I have replaced my GraphicsCard.sgr file now. Where do I place the .ORIG files?
  • So alls I have to do is add the downloaded file to my bin folder? Do I still need to copy and past the normal versions of the sfg files and make them .orig?
  • Nope, the whole directory changed aswell as deleting the folder in my documents. But there was more in the Sims wiki than just adding the .sgr file in the bin folder?
  • Thanks! So just to let you know, my whole game is reset so I dont have any edited files in or anything, just like before I messed it up and changed it...So if I put this in it will work? What about the .orig files etc?
  • Right. So, if you don't mind, could you provide easy 1-5 Step on how to do it all. Because I don't understand a lot of things. Sorry if it is annoying, it is just I never had messed with my files before, that is why I messed it up, LOL. And the instructions on the Sims Wiki Site are too complex for me.
  • It was this: 0x124b "GT 640" I replaced the 640M which was on Graphics Cards. I just changed the four letters after the X at the start, and removed the M.
  • Name (driver): NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 Name (database): NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 [Found: 0, Matched: 1] Vendor: NVIDIA Chipset: Vendor: 10de, Device: 124b, Board: 231b1462, Chipset: 00a1 Driver: nvd3dum.dll, Version: 9.18.13.2018, GUID: D7B71E3E-510B-11CF-3070-16031CC2C435 Driver version: 2018 :D
  • Lifesaver! Thankyou!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: My video card is normal and recognized now!!;)
  • Now the launcher stopped working and when I try to load into game it says intsallation error?
  • Nope :oops:
  • Nope, still hasnt. It crashed too, map view everything is blue, with hints of white for the grass. Its messed up, I dont know how though if everything is replaced normally?
  • I dont know now, the deviceconfig file just displays 'Options/default options' not any words, numbers. Im scared now because its still not recognized when I replaced my original files back in??:(
  • Just loaded into game. I got a popup saying my hardware wasnt recognized, nor was the graphics card. Then when i went into options, everything was lowest as possible, resolution was 1024x768 and my high-detail lots had the mover button taken off so I couldnt change how many lots I wanted to load. Ive just changed all my…
