Yay, another reader!

Nevermind!!! I rebooted the system and IT'S WORKING!!! At least for now...

Thanks for your help anyway!

Okay. Thank you so much!

Here is the system info:


I don't really understand what it means, though. Help please?

My game loads pretty slowly, but everything else seems fine. You should probably delete your useless CC. I do that every few months so I can maintain my 52% of free space in my computer's memory. lol

This is the message I have been getting today whenever I try to launch The Sims 2: "Failed to find DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics in the System! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer."

I Googled "DirectX 9.0c" and downloaded it, but I'm still getting the same message! Does it have to do with where I place the DirectX 9.0c files in my computer?

I added every file to a .zip file and placed it on the desktop. I even used Q-Xpress Installer to download it to The Sims 2 itself and see if that would help. But I still have nothing!

I (and the whole family) use the same Dell PC, but I don't know what kind it isand how much memory I have on it. All I know is that we got it sometime from 2003 to 2005. Maybe it's from 2004. I don't remember! Either way, I was either in the 4th or 5th grade. I've had The Sims 2 since summer of 2006, when I was going into the 7th grade. I'm now in the 8th grade. Sorry, I don't remember things by years, I remember things by what grade I was in! lol

I don't have all the information about my computer, but Microsoft stuff runs on it. It's not a Mac, that's all I really know. I hope it still helps you figure out the problem.

Thanks! I did some very careful Sim breeding. Very careful...lol

You have a spot for her? Cool! I'm glad she fits into your game! Thanks again!

This was posted soooo long ago. I can't believe you guys found it! I actual don't think this self-sim looks much like me. I was new to the whole concept of making Sims in Bodyshop. I had just discovered Bodyshop! lol

Thanks!

Justin is a hottie, and Alana is incredibly beautiful! Thank you so much!

She's very pretty! Thanks!

Read Flyleaf's "Show off your teenage Sims!" thread on the last page to see my request for a black-haired teenage boy without glasses. Julie needs some love in her life .

EDIT: The post is here: http://www.insimenator.org/showpost.php?p=1113365&postcount=953

EDIT #2: Never mind about the whole boyfriend thing, I got it covered .

Julie Robinson is my current all-time favorite teen. She was made in the CAS baby-making thing as a toddler, but she was raised throughout the game. Here is a headshot:



Her turn-ons are black hair and fitness, and she doesn't like glasses. If anyone has a black-haired teenage boy Sim up for downloading (who I will download and make exercise in-game), I will gladly download him as long as he doesn't wear glasses! Julie needs a boyfriend and a real love before she goes off to college. What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic. lol

This is Julie Robinson, my favorite born in-game teen girl!

Aspiration: Family in my game, but can be Knowledge
Zodiac sign: Aquarius, but I don't know her exact personality. Aquarius is close enough.
Turn-ons: Black hair and fitness
Turn-off: Glasses







Julie comes packaged with the same Maxis clothes and Raonsims hair she has in-game.

Enjoy!

XOXO Peace & Love,

Sarah
