Playing in window instead of full screen - SammiLynn - 19-03-2008 09:58 PM

I recently found out how to play the sims 2 in a window and not in full screen and I LOVE it so much more ;D. I hope the allow that to be an option in the game so that you dont have to use cheats to make it in a window.

It is good, I have forgotten how to play any other way.

I tried playing that way once but I didn't like it.

Playing in a window make it a lot easier to use tutorials found online because you can minamize and switch between windows. The only thing you have to get used to is using the right button to move around.

It is also very handy for testers. And watching chat rooms and websites. Smile

And for stories as well~

But when I'm not doing any of that, I go full-screen~

you can play any game in window mode I believe . Right click on the game icon on the desktop and where you see the first game location type in at the very end  -w  That tells Windows to open that program in a window instead of full screen. Not sure about Vista users though.
