Are you tired of those choppy shores? Bucket fill ocean? Or, does your concrete downtown look like this? By following this tutorial you may restore the "high quality" neighborhood terrain textures in your game.
WARNING: You should only follow this tutorial if you have a supported graphics card*. Following this tutorial while running on an unsupported or underpowered graphics card will result in an extra strain to your graphics card, or your computer. Read this if you want to be more informed.
Please note that this tutorial is only for those who had a "beautiful" neighborhood before, and somehow they don't have it now (reinstalling the game, updating drivers). If you tweak your settings without a good graphics card that can handle them, you will most likely just wear out your computer.
Make sure your game is not running, nor is The Sims 2 Body Shop, HomeCrafter Plus, SimPE or other software that needs access to game files.
If you don't have The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, go to C:Program FilesEA GamesThe Sims 2 [newest expansion pack]TSDataResConfig folder. The part in italics might be different depending on whether you've chosen to install the game to default location.
If you have The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, go to C:Program FilesOrigin GamesThe Sims 2 Ultimate CollectionFun with PetsSP9TSDataResConfig folder. Again, the part in italics might be different for you.
Make sure you've created a safe backup of the Graphics Rules.sgr file. It's the file we're going to modify, and if something goes wrong, you can easily restore everything back.
Double click on Graphics Rules.sgr and choose Select a program from a list of installed programs. Choose Notepad (not Wordpad), and do not tick the "Always choose the selected program to open this kind of file."
Go to Edit, and select Find (or simply click CTRL+F). Type in simpleTerrain and you should see something like this:
