How to the change The Sims 2 screen resolution?

Right at the moment it's my full computar screen, which i dunno what that is, and i dunno where to find out.

Where and how do you change it so it's a bit smaller like not full screen?

I've been looking but haven't had no luck.

What folder or whatever is it in?How to the change The Sims 2 screen resolution?
Alright, this is what I did when my graphics card was being a butthole and I had to run it in a window for a while (then found out I just had to restart the computer :P). You go to it, whether you have an icon on your desktop or it's in the Start Menu. You right click on it and go to the bottom of the list, 'Properties'. Then go to 'Target:' which should already be highlighted. Click in the box to where it isn't highlighted. At the end, there's exe';. After that, put a space, and then '-w'. The 'W' is for 'Window'. if it isn't what you wanted, you can change it back to fullscreen by changing the W to F. 'F' for fullscreen. I'm sure you guessed. :)How to the change The Sims 2 screen resolution?
you can change the resolution in the fifth button to different resolutions, but they will always be fullscreen unless and until you start running your game in windowed mode. I do, and it's much better than fullscreen, and allows for more flexibility with your computer while the game is running.



Once the game is in windowed mode, you can change how much of your screen space it uses by changing the resolution settings in the game as mentioned above.





The only thing you have to do is add a -w at the end of your shortcut. You can do this with any of the expansion packs, too.



Detailed Instructions:

Right click on your shortcut, select properties, then select the tab that says ';shortcut.'; At the very end of the Target path (after the ';), put in a space then -w and click OK.



It should look something like ';c:/blahblah......sims2.exe'; -w



happy simming!
Click the fifth button, with live mode being the first button, then click the picture of a computer moniter. The rest should be simple
