Resolved: Castaway - How Do I Change Code To Not Play It In A Separate Window?

[vita4all]

Hi. My kid bought Castaway for our PC. The game has the feature where you have to play it in a separate window, and I can't see it as well as a full screen view.

Where and how do I change the code or command to truly maximize the screen to fill up the monitor?

Also, do any versions of SimPE work for it?

[jaccirocker]

go to settings and it's either under video or game settings to get it full screen you just tick the box and so far no simpe works with it, and the insimenator kinda works with it but it's weird. Let me know if you need help with that. I hope this helps out.

I have the game loaded now and looked at all the options, and specifically game  and camera options. I didn't see anything like 'full screen' or an option that might suggest that. If you know the magic word or button to press (LOL) I can find it. Thanks.

Do you mean windowed mode? "-w" with a space after the file path when you right click your shortcut on your desktop.

[vita4all]

Yes, the windowed mode! Thank you.

However, can you or anyone be more specific than:

"-w" with a space after the file path when you right click your shortcut on your desktop

For example, I understand what go to C:/Program Files/blah blah blah means and change this blah to this blah.

Thanks.

[Mr Heartache]

that's really all you have to do, lol. Make a shortcut on your desktop. Then right click it and go to properties. Then type "-w" in the pathfile bit, without the quotes and a space between it and the filepath... I think they're might be a wiki article about it, if I'm being to confusing

It's for the sims2 basegame, but I'm sure it pretty much works the same way.

MiM, I went to the sims2wikie site in your link and discovered that what I really wanted to do is play in the non-windowed mode. but when you asked about a windowed mode, that sounded like a full window.

Anyhoo, now that I knew what the correct word was, I googled for non-windowed mode, Sims 2, and stumbled across jennthesimmergirl.com which had this pic (which I didn't hotlink, I just made a copy of it to show and help others). This is what jaccirocker was trying to tell me but I didn't know what the word was until MiM mentioned it.

So thank you both!
