Sims 2 UC- Weird Squat Sims!!!
Hey everyone!I got the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection to work on Windows 10. My problem is that, no matter what resolution I play the game in (everything from 800x600 to 5120x2880, thanks to the GraphicsRules maker), the game world and the sims are weirdly squat and stretched out! I'm attaching some images so you can see what's happening, as well as my graphics rules settings. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me. Thank you!

If you're on a widescreen, try ticking or unticking the "square pixels" box in the ingame settings (just do the opposite to how it is now).
If that doesn't work, you may want to consider playing the game windowed, if you're not already doing so.

For your game to display correctly you need to play at a resolution that matches your monitor. You can work out what it should be by looking at your native monitor resolution (right-click on the desktop go to Display Settings (this is Win10 I'm talking about) and look at what the recommended setting is). You can then work out the ratio of your screen by dividing the bigger figure by the smaller one. I have a widescreen with a recommended ratio of 1920x1080 - that is 1.77777r (1920/1080). Any ratio that has the same ratio will work properly with your screen. So 1600x900 would work for me, for example.
Having said that, as Simmer22 says, if you're on a 'non-standard' screen you might have to play in windowed mode to get it to work. Also, square pixels, as they said, might help.

Square pixels fixed everything! Thank you so much!
And yes, I am playing on windowed mode! Took a little extra messing with the command line but I got that to work. Here is the link to the tutorial for that, in case anyone needs it https://www.lifewire.com/sims-2-windowed-mode-840403
