Hello. I was playing Half Life 2 today, and I noticed an option:

Widescreen:
16:9
16:10

Well, I clicked them both, and found that 16:10 is my native display resolution (1680x1050). When I go into The Sims 2. I find that the highest resolution is 1600x900. If I remember correctly, that was the resolution for the 16:9 widescreen setting.

What im asking is: Does this mean that TS2 dosnt have support for 16:10?

Probably, if that's the highest option.

But its not. I dont know why its not displaying higher. It can only go up to 1600x900. This monitors highest resolution is 1680x1050.

I meant that maybe that resolution is the highest designed for The Sims 2 game.

Or maybe something within your computer doesn't support that resolution (for The Sims 2 game)? But that's not too likely, according to your posts, I'm guessing you have an excelent PC.

Meh, maybe you are right. Maybe TS2 dosnt go that high. Ill try and find reports of the resolution going higher in that game.

I was just looking. The Sims 2 has gone into 1680x1050 for somebody on a Mac. I wonder if its only for Macs though.

I read that comment and they said that with the default resolution of the game it ran very fast, but with the highest resolution and high settings, it occasionally slowed down, when zooming and panning (well at least that's what I understood, if I'm wrong, please correct me... In my home country we don't speak english). Maybe it has to do with people's PCs. My game only goes 'til 1280x1024. So I'm guessing your PC is very good... Just not 1680x1050 good. Question

But Windows and other games display in 1680x1050. I got Half-Life 2 to display in that resolution with highest settings. HL2 looks better then TS2.

In that case, I have no idea... Confused

There's a line in graphic.sgr that sets the max resolution, you can edit it to be whatever you want. The Sims 2 supports widescreen but it's not a separate option, it's set by resolution (ex. 1440x900 is 16:10).

The Sims Stories games do not support widescreen and will have messed up graphics.
