Sims 2 Ultimate Collection: Screen size stuck at 800x600.

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

I got The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and when I went into the game to change the graphic/performance options I noticed I wasn't able to change the screen size. It's stuck on 800x600 (That's the only option avaliable)  and that is not compatible with my screen at all.

I also noticed that I couldnt adjust the shadows or the smooth edges.

 

I run on a Windows 8.

Please help!

Could you PM me with it too?  Or tell me where the file I need to change is located?  (There's a dozen graphics configuration files in the Ultimate Collection directory...  I know what to change, just not which file to change it in.)
