UI Glitch
kutto:
Well, that is odd. I like to play in windowed mode myself (not sure what resolution the game thinks it is), but I've never had this occur with 8 people before. This is the first time I've played with 8 people since I installed Pets, though. I guess I can play in 1028x768 mode if I means I don't get this happening. Plus, I'll get to expand both wants and needs at the same time! :P

The line "breaks" earlier since Pets. So it is possible that you used to be able to fit 8 Sims on a tiny 800x600 screen, but not anymore.

Speaking of resolutions...
My boyfriend got me a wide screen monitor for Christmas and I love it... Except the Sims doesn't work correctly in WS mode. The CAS option panel actually blocks most of the sims face while in close up view, doing make-up or hair or whatever. I am not sure why it makes the option box so close, it's a wiiiiiide screeeeen... But if I try to run the game in normal screen mode everything just looks short and wide...
Damn, I had a text file, someone here told me how to adjust a graphics file so the widescreen options show up in game. I can't find it at the moment though and my big machine is down.

Ohm that's easy. Find your native resolution (1680 x 1050 for a 20" 16:10 monitor, 1920 x 1080 for a larger 16:9 monitor, or whatever).
Go to the last XP you have (Celebrations trumps Seasons).
Open \TSData\Res\Config\Graphics Rules.sgr in a text editor
Look for the string "option ScreenModeResolution" and change the Setting $High as follows:
setting $High
uintProp maxResWidth 1680
uintProp maxResHeight 1050
uintProp defaultResWidth 1680
uintProp defaultResHeight 1050
Use your native monitor values of course.
Next time you load the game the resolution is available.
Make sure you either have the original CD, or a backup of the file, should EAMaxis come out with a patch.

Would a patch worry about an extra res being available in a text file?
