Why can't I open the 'Graphics/Performance Options' menu (greyed out) in The Sims 2?

Why can't I open the 'Graphics/Performance Options' menu (greyed out) in The Sims 2? - Open grey metal soda can

I recently installed The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection from Origin, I can't access the Graphics/Performance Options menu.

I followed this tutorial and added my video card to Video Cards.sgr. There was no "NOT FOUND IN DATABASE!" error in my -config-log.txt file, but I still can't access the menu.

This is the menu I am talking about:

Menu option

Specs:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7-4870HQ @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 M370X



Best Answer

You can't access the Graphics/Performance Options menu from the Tutorial. Go to a lot in an actual neighborhood and you should be able to access the menu from there.
