That can not possibly be true, there must be some error in the log file, definitely your graphics card has a full name, look up the full specs of your PC/laptop online or in your operative systems settings/description somewhere. Either way it shouldn't matter for the sims in this case, I guess EA is so scuffed and broken you will just have to add the name without series number and see what happens.

Funny enough, how newer your pc, the worse it’ll run. Hence why you need these fixes. Matching ur gpu to your game does WONDERS. The game is old & therefore doesn’t recognize newer videocards. That’s why matching yours to the game manually is SO important for the game’s performance

I recently started to play The Sims Medieval and was having the same issue, so I manually added my graphic card on the GraphicCard.sgr file (it's a NVIDIA GTX 1660 and yes, I added it on the Nvidia section of the list and added the chipset number too) and the DeviceConfig.log says "[Found: 1, Matched: 0]", so I don't know how to make it match. Can anyone help me please?

@Taylor-wm1vz In the end I noticed that I didn't edit the GraphicsRules.sgr too. You have to add your graphic card model in the line above where it says "uber" (if your card matches this config, of course), and it have to be like this exemple ""*GTX 16??*"))" in the end of the line. If there's other model, you add " or match("${cardName}", " and add the model of your graphic card in the end of this line.

When I try to change the angle of the camera, the game is extremely slow. Also, my household has litteraly $0 and my sims look really weird. I tried to fix the game with the EA app and to play without my CCs but it doesn't change anything. Please help :(
