I had huge troubles getting the game to go into full screen mode. ❗ If for some reason you have an issue with full screen not working, see the following suggestion by SimsVIP reader Isabelle.

Your UIGraphics folder should now contain 4 new folders inside. Move the contends of the altered UIGraphics file you downloaded into this folder. Go to C: > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > The Sims and open the existing UIGraphics folder.

❗ If you run into any issues with this section of the tutorial, and your game does not load up in full screen, check out the suggestions and helpful tips in this thread. In the “Target” section, paste the following at the end of the text: -w -r1024x768 This will enable windowed mode and the larger resolution. Now, select the “Shortcut” tab to the left. This will bring you back to the first screen. Also be sure that “Run this program as an Administrator” is selected as well! From there, click on “Change settings for all users” at the bottom. When the screen pops up, select the first drop down box under “Compatibility Mode” and choose Windows 7. Right click the shortcut on your desktop and click the “Compatibility” tab.Right click the Sims.exe file you just added to The Sims folder and add a shortcut to your Desktop.
