Title: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on March 08, 2009, 06:06:37 pm I just got a new moniter my old one had about had it. Loved it, but was time. This one is a 22' widescreen, 1680x1050 I played with it before I messed with playing the game in windowed mode. It was fine, now this is what happens anyone know how to fix it?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v688/carilynn71/wrong.jpg) I hate that the window of clothes goes over my sims? I can't screen capture stuff in CAS right like that. Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: caffeinated.joy on March 08, 2009, 06:26:14 pm I have the same resolution monitor and I just put up with it. As far as i know there's no way to fix it.
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on March 08, 2009, 06:58:51 pm huh that is strange, cause when I first used it it wasn't like that till I messed with windowed mode trying to adjust colors etc? Oh well Thank you *pouts* I want it normal LOL..

Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Engram on March 08, 2009, 08:57:28 pm There is a fix for this here (http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=292745).
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on March 08, 2009, 11:16:45 pm nope changing ingame res doesnt help tried it.. Thanks for that link Engram trying it out now :)
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Razamataz on March 20, 2009, 08:06:29 am I don't know if in game cas will do same as bodyshop but for just a screen cap try hitting F9 It should hide all menu items for the screen cap., then F9 back once done.
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: nina on April 05, 2009, 08:24:19 pm I had all kinds of problems when I changed to a new wide LCD. I actually play on a Mac, but this should work pretty much the same on Windows:
On starting up the game (from the game app icon, not an alias), press and hold Command or Alt (depending on your keyboard). This will bring up a graphics options dialogue box where you can... * Set your screen resolution more efficiently than with the in-game graphics options * Check 'Use Stretched Resolutions' box, which ought to cure your CAF problem * Uncheck 'Optimise Rendering' box, which may improve in-game performance Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on April 05, 2009, 08:53:34 pm neither of those work but thank you for trying to help I have done w few things and it's a tad better. I guess I just live with it :)
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: nina on April 06, 2009, 12:05:30 am Oops! I should've said Uncheck 'Use stretched Resolutions'... but it seems you've probably fiddled yourself (ooer!) to distraction over this annoyance with your wide display (snigger!) already.
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on April 06, 2009, 03:17:46 pm I couldn't even try what you said cause holding the alt key didn't bring up anything for me?
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Casual Dude on April 16, 2009, 04:46:02 am This is a suggestion, but you could try and make the same sim in bodyshop instead? because theres a shortcut key on that to make the AV/AI (or whatever its called) panel to disappear and make the camera free to move.
Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on April 16, 2009, 11:03:00 am yeah it's just so small in bodyshop I just like CAS for quick shots I have since figured ways around it but ty :)

Post by: Casual Dude on April 16, 2009, 11:19:00 am yeah it's just so small in bodyshop I just like CAS for quick shots I have since figured ways around it but ty :) You can get a standalone application to deal with the size issue raised by BodyShop (it changes the window to either 1024x768 or fullscreen) which you can find here (http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=231443).I also wait for a good screen fix. I set my resolution to 960x600px so i could get good wide photos (i have a 1024x768px monitor). Title: Re: Help with Moniter issues? Post by: Care on April 16, 2009, 09:08:15 pm Mines 1680x1050 ugh I use the fix's mentioned above by engram along with http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,31115.0.html and it works out ok.. May try your idea thankz
