The game looks so much better with Sims in high resolution! ❤ However it has this remaining issue ^^^ Can this be resolved in DDrawCompat? Or is it something else that can't be worked around? Config used:

SoftwareDevice=hal
PalettizedTextures=on
ResolutionScaleFilter=bilinear
ResolutionScale=2560x1440

When forcing ResolutionScale and Alt+Tab is performed, all 3D models will appear black, and the UI will disappear.

Normal

Black

Use AltTabFix=keepvidmem

Use AltTabFix=keepvidmem

Whoops... keep forgetting that that is a configuration option in DDrawCompat. Thank you!
