Sims 3 Graphics Card Issue (MX150)

[liann1009]

Hi, I recently got a new laptop and whilst I've fixed this before on my brother's gtx 1050, I don't really know how to go with the new graphics card Mx150 T_T

- thanks

Hi liann1009, welcome to the forum.

Can you detail what errors you're facing? Is the game refusing to launch, not displaying correctly? Are textures messed up, are you getting a black screen? Are you playing with any mods or CC, specifically anything that introduces new items to the game? Is there an error message?

oh sorry about that. and thanks. Well um it says that it doesnt recognize my graphics card.

I once fixed this before with gtx 1050 but that was because somebody uploaded a fixed .sgr file
but now I dont really know how to operate with Mx150 also because i'm not very familiar with it haha.

If you want help with this -

From your DeviceConfig.log file, please let us know your graphics device ID. For example: Chipset: Vendor: 10de, Device: 139b

Or the information in the Graphics device Info section of the file. With that we can better help edit the graphicscards.sgr and graphicsrules.sgr files.
