This user has the following games installed:
Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
SOLVED Brand new computer, game installs but wont run (DirectX9 error)
Anyways, I got me a new Lenovo Legion 5 the other day (16gb ram, Nvidia gtx 1650) and found that I have a DirectX9 error when I ran UC. Not really sure what that means but I've never encountered this before. Pretty sure that the problem is that my computer is just too new and fancy for the game that both are going "what is that?". But like, you know I'm not great at this stuff so someone out here might know better? Searching here, only stuff from like 2006 appeared and that's probably not gonna help. According to my googling it seems to be both fixable and not at the same time? I took a look at the stuff on Leefish and it's way over my head, I managed it 5 years ago but no longer can!
Should it be fixable, would someone please explain (as one would to a child) what I need to do and how?

Guessing you first need to (forcibly) introduce your game to the card.
Try GraphicsRules/Video Cards fixes and 4gb fix, from this link:
https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=610641
I think they're all explained in that link. Hold off on the memory allocation fix for a bit, though. The fix in the new version of the GraphicsRulesMaker seems to work a bit better for some if you get pink flashing, and 4gb may be a bit better for crashes (the allocation thing didn't seem to do a lot for my game, but the line added to the file removed pretty much all the rest of the pink flashing I had. I have the 1070 card).
This method is also a possibility, but see if the above works first.

Good news: method 2 works! Thank you!
I've followed the instructions and now it runs the way it should in windowed mode using that helpful fullscreensizer. The only mystery is why its pretending the resolution is 640x480 when it totally isn't. But as everything is behaving normally (edge scrolling rip), I'm going to ignore it
