You'd have to change that through the shortcut target parameters- for example, add -r1024x768 to the target to play in 1024X768. I think that's the maximum the game will display in, anyway.

@simsample

Thanks for that info I think 1024x768 is what I am playing at and after searching the internet a lot of players who reverted to 800x600 are complaining that this resolution is like playing in a small box that you cannot see properly so I am at as complete loss as to what to do and as I really don't understand how to change the resolution for this game to try it anyway. I think I will just play as is and make do as at least I have a full screen to play in.
Thanks for your ongoing help with this matter it has been much appreciated..

If you want to try playing in a different resolution, you can do that through modifying your shortcut parameters, too. Just add -r800x600 to the target. Another thing you could try is to play windowed, so add -w to the target.

Last time we saw Sims 1 Sim Sample, he was venturing to Magic town. Since then, he is progressing in his new ambition to become a magical sim. This is what he did today:

Ohh, you read my mind simsample! I just checked on this forum due to a sudden urge to see new TS1 pics, which I was expecting there not to be.

You're my wish granting TS1 genie.

So I'm a n00b as I just installed the game for the first time.

I especially love the phone calls.

the tutorial lot in Neighborhood 1 can help you become familiar with the game. I do not remember the exact address, but a rectangle surrounds the lot and it is in the bottom corner of that rectangle. the family that lives there is named Newbie; Brandi in Sims2 is 1 of their descendants.

Not sure if I had the "Spring" message when I had Sims1.
But a number of my Sims1 sims did get fired; often on purpose.

The address of the Newbie house is 7 Sim Lane.
Just to add, in the Sims 3 Bob is a teen with his parents Robert and Mags in Riverview.

So far, I haven't seen any Newbies in Sims 4, but I was hoping to. Would of been nice to follow the established pattern. :D

This anonymous caller is constantly throwing money at my sims.
Needless to say, I put phones everywhere and sims have to drop everything to get that call when it rings

from my understanding, Sims4 pre-made characters are either older Sims2 pre-made characters or descendants of Sims2 pre-made characters. so the Newbies in Sims4 would probably be Brokes; either the Broke children (Dustin, Beau, Brandi's unborn child) grown up or their descendants.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

@schwimmbad17 I tried for so long to get a screenshot of that hoax call, but it's only ever happened once and I was so excited (for 30 seconds) that I forgot! I hope your sims have a better week soon. :lovestruc

Today I managed to get the non-US neighbourhood roads into my US-English Complete Collection.

I had a picture of Claire getting attacked by the bees and running away, but I accidentally copied the house picture to the clipboard. So here it is, my Wrong Test sim's house:





It is a version of my Spooky Nightclub in FreeSO, tweaked so it suits the needs of a snob sim who's also into supernatural. And here he is, with his custom outfit made in "The Sims Creator" :

I'm becoming a master at dating. My sims need the friends, haha.


I accidentally threw a party instead of inviting over a neighbor. I've never actually done that before, and it was weird to me that a bunch of strangers showed up...


It did give my sim a chance to practice her magic, though. She turned him into a toad.


I've made probably 6 or 7 genie wishes and have yet to get a positive outcome! And the wish after this resulted in a bunch of bills! Will my sims ever catch a break???

I also noticed while I was playing that the hula dancer in the hula dancer lamp actually dances! I thought it was a cute detail.

I got really excited to find a sims 1 picture thread. Dear photobucket, go pound sand.

Love the house mixa97sr posted. It also happens to be pretty much the only one left on this page.

I was testing the 3d beta. Of course I chose the iconic Goths.



Then this Lady showed up. Unfortunately I didn't get the epic sound effects with it



Morty was into it, or was he? Hard to read his facial expressions.

How'd you change the roads? I don't like the US roads as they don't match the roads on the lot, where as the UK ones do.

@HarVee

To have the non-US road colour (dark roads) when on USEnglish settings edit Res_Nbhd.RT file in [install Location]\Maxis\The Sims\UIGraphics.

Change {RLEBMP,kNbhdBck_UL,"Community/NScreen_unleashed.bmp"} to {RLEBMP,kNbhdBck_UL,"Community/NScreen_unleashed_nonus.bmp"}
backup all files first!!!

I love these. I recently got Sims 1 to run in a borderless fake-fullscreen mode without glitching out on windows 10 and now I can play the heck out of it If anyone wants to know how, I can make a thread here. There really are some helpful people on the internet.

Can't wait for simitone release.

Sims 1 glitched out on my old Windows 8 and 10 laptops to the point where I had to restart it to make it work again whenever I exit the game so information like that would be helpful for people that play on newer computers and what's happening in the new release that's so exciting to you?
