After downloading directx 9.0c, I try to install it. It tells me that
the newest version is already installed. (And, DX10 didn't just come
with vista because, like I said before, it wasn't on my computer until
I specifically installed it from the website.)
Do you, by any chance, know the files that I would be missing and where
I need to put them.
UPDATE: Ran into a different problem in TS2 (having to do with the
pregnant sim birth scene.) Someone on the sims forum mentioned checking
logs of errors. While searching around for the sims error log, I found
the directx log. Do you think there may be a clue as to what is wrong
in there? I could post it if it would help, but I don't want to post a
wall of text if it will not be helpful.
