Once you’ve downloaded/installed the Profile inspector, open it up. Note that it’s a program for Windows I have no idea how you’d go about doing this stuff on a Mac. It’s freeware, and you can download it here. You need the Nvidia Profile Inspector, if you don’t already have it.It’s decent, the best card I can put in my Simming machine without needing a stronger power supply, and it’s more than adequate for both TS2 and TS3, but it’s certainly not high end.) (For the record, my card is a GTX 1050Ti. And either way, there’s no harm in trying. But I’m gonna venture a guess that you could do this with a lesser card for TS2, since it’s a much less demanding game even when it’s all tricked out. In the linked MTS post, the OP has a 700-series card and the guy who posted the settings was dubious about whether or not the OP should mess with this stuff because it might cause lower FPS rates and lag in TS3. Moreover, you need a decent NVIDIA video card.You can’t do this stuff with Intel integrated graphics. I mean, I’m sure there’s ways to do the same things with AMD cards. I’ll go into more detail about that, via many pics, behind the cut.
Well, the game didn’t freak out and, in some ways, it looks a lot better. The worst that could happen is the game freaks out and I have to revert back to the default settings. (Might be a totally different story when I play a regular, active, populated neighborhood, of course!) But I figured, what the hell, let’s make a profile for TS2 with these settings, too. *laugh* I feared this would screw up TS2, but Mustang Valley and my creating set-up, at least, are fine with it. I had to test the game anyway because part of my problem-solving in TS3 was to update my GPU’s driver to the version that was released about two weeks ago instead of a 5-year-old one. :)Īfter I fixed my TS3 game and tried out the NVIDIA settings and they made my TS3 game look awesome, I wondered what would happen if I applied the same settings to TS2. But I didn’t know, and my gamer husband never saw fit to inform me of these things, for which he’s gonna get a whuppin’ :), and my mind is blown, so I thought I’d share info for other non-gamer-types like me who don’t know about this stuff. Now, maybe among the more gamer-types out there, doing this kind of stuff is common knowledge. It’s about NVIDIA graphics settings (meaning, settings outside of the game, controlled by the video card itself) that improve the appearance of TS3 in-game. While I was reading up on things to do that might improve that situation, I ran across this MTS forum post. I did some fiddling with my Simming computer while solving the mystery of the super-lag/abysmal FPS rate in my TS3 game. And this is a seriously long post, for which I apologize, but you might think it worth it in the end.
