    Sims 2 Double Deluxe Problem

    I just reciently installed Sims 2 Double Deluxe and when i played the game the walls were flashing red, i checked into the problem and it told me my graphics card was too low well i also went to a site called canitrun the site analizes the system requirments with you computer to see if it can play on my pc well i checked the Double Deluxe's Sims 2 base and Nightlife and they say theyre playable on my pc but when i check the final thing with the package which is Celebration stuff and it says i cant play the game because i dont have lighting and transform on my card......

    is there a way to get rid of the celebration stuff on my cpu so i will be able to play the game without much trouble?

    Cause i really dont want to pay for a new graphics card.

    You should be able to play Sims 2 even without T&L support.

    Could you upload the results from dxdiag?

    Start > Run > Dxdiag

    save/export the information and upload the text file.

    Dr. Campbell:

    If you would submit a dxdiag report, it would aid us in helping you a lot. I couldn't help the person earlier because my previous request was ignored.

    Registration Problem (The Sims 2: Double Deluxe)

    Ok, I go to "TheSims2" website, I get through everything untill the very end, The part where you type in your Registration code, Well I typed it in the first time exactly how it looks like, It said it couldn't recognize it :confused: , The second time I typed it in I switched the CAPS on, didn't work :( . Third and so on untill I gave up on my 13th try :( . It never worked :mad: . So I'm wanting to solve this problem extremely bad, I must register my sims game before they quit supporting it on there website :( . "I just got last week after the 4 years its been out or longer". :cry:
