This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default How do I get the Sims 2 to recognize my graphics card.
It wont recognize and I think thats why my smooth edges might be grayed out.

Go here and download WinRAR to extract / open the .rar file: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Download one of the two top ones on that page, depending on if you have 32bit Windows or 64bit Windows.

What is your graphics card? Download the one that matches your graphics card.
