I have provided my config-log.txt, and also my graphics rules + video cards files zipped, both normally installed in Program Files (x86) -> Origin Games -> The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection -> Fun with Pets -> SP9 -> TSData -> Res -> Config and CSConfig folders.

I am running Windows 10 (64bit), on an HP Envy 15m-bq021dx. CPU: AMD FX-9800P (bristol ridge) GPU: AMD Radeon R7 (bristol ridge)
My game runs pretty well- but it's not where I'd like or expect it to be. I still have jagged edges with smooth edges maxed, unless I'm zoomed in very close to my Sims/lot. Textures are blurry. Lag is present, but it's not unbearable. I have a considerable amount of CC, so that's to be expected. I feel like something in my Graphics Rules/Video Cards is off that I'm just not seeing. I've been fighting with this for months- reading every thread on this forum, using Graphics Rules Maker (eventually went the manual route), messing with different drivers, but I'm at my wits end, so here I am! I was hoping I could get some advice from the experts![Blush]( "Blush")
My laptop has a quad core processor, and shared system/video memory. I've learned online that my CPU has 8 compute cores 'with the impressive graphics shaders count of 512'. 512 doesn't sound impressive to me, but is that for each core? I'm not sure how to use this to my advantage with this game- maybe I simply cannot.
Notice how my graphics card doesn't have a specific model name? Because it doesn't. It's literally just AMD Radeon R7 Graphics, as it appears on my device manager. I'm not sure if this is where my issue is arising, but I suspect it could be, because the Video Cards log that generates in my game folder in My Documents -> Config when I run the game is completely different than the one I have installed in my program files. I have my card at the top under ATI as AMD Radeon R7 Graphics. When that video cards log generates in My Documents, it's at the bottom of the ATI section, without the , just as AMD Radeon R7 Graphics. Bah!
things I've tried:
I'd love for someone to take a peek at this! I adore this forum so much, it has been so incredibly helpful to me. Thank you again!

things I've tried:
- adding CPUCount to my target, 1 2 and 3, no considerable difference
- used Radeon texture fix from leefish
- applied the 4GB patch
- scheduled emptystandbylist task
- removed SecuROM and ran trashreg
- tried graphics drivers from the HP website and AMD, seem to run exactly same, currently using AMD suggested drivers
- removed TM from registry
- have used various compatibility modes
- windowed mode. does run a bit better!
