I just bought the sims but after i installed it it said it failed to find directx graphics adapter, but on systems check it says i have one. people say i have to buy a new graphics adapter, but i dont want to pay all that money. so, if you could tell me how to fix this or how to buy a graphics adapter, which one to get, and how much it costs, you would be a lifesaver!
