I don't think you can make it any smaller than that without distorting the colors/display. You can try changing your resolution on your computer:

Right-click on your desktop, select Properties. Then click on Settings and then there should be a right-left scroll for the resolution.

The game won't run under 800x600. Even sims 1 wouldn't. Is there a particular reason you want it to?

I think they have it slightly backwards.:) Anyway, if you do not have a choice of resolutions in your game, this is usually the game saying this is all your computer can handle.

You can try updating your driver for your video card and see if it helps.

I know a few people that think 1024/768 is smaller than 800/600, because the pics look smaller.
