You can select between two graphics wrappers, DgVoodoo2 and DDrawCompat. The short is they both fix graphical issues and improve performance. I recommend trying DDrawCompat first and if that doesn't work, try DgVoodoo2. If neither work, choose none.
Wrapper OS Compatability
Windows | Linux | macOS | |
---|---|---|---|
None | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
DGVoodoo2 | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
DDrawCompat | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
Note: If you use DDrawCompat and are using a monitor with G-Sync enabled, your game will crash in exclusive fullscreen mode. Please be sure to enable Borderless Fullscreen mode when prompted during the patch to avoid this issue.
To unpatch and return to the original executale, locate your Sims.exe again and choose "Uninstall." Answer any prompts that appear.
