Hi, I have the same problem. My mum recently got me a laptop and it's a Toshiba Satellite and it's OS is Windows 7. I have DirectX 11 and for some reason the game isn't working.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Either your graphics card/integrated chip is not supported or you have old drivers.
Click Start, type dxdiag.
You should see your graphics card name and driver version from Display tab.

I am also getting very annoyed.
I currently have downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0c, doing it by installing it normally and opening up Sims and clicking on the DirectX file.
I have an Intel®82865G Graphics Controller and I am a Windows XP User.
I also have an Intel® Celeron® CPU 2.80ghZ Processor.
My memory is 510MB RAM.
MORE DETAILS ABOUT MY DIRECTX 9.0C ARE THAT IT SAYS (4.09.0000,0904)???
PLEASE HELP!!

I have an Intel®82865G Graphics Controller and I am a Windows XP User.You need a new graphics card.
My memory is 510MB RAM.
You need at least 1GB RAM.

OK, not sure how old your post is, but I had exactly the same problem on my daughter's laptop, which had recently been upgraded to W7 Ultimate, so all I did was this:
Right click on the shortcut to Sims2, choose Properties.
Click on the compatability tab, make sure the "run this program in compatability mode for: is OFF
Click on shortcut tab, make sure the 'target' has a speach mark at the front and end, i.e. "C:Program...blahblah"
and add one space and -w after the last speach march, so will look like this "C:Prog...blahblah" -w
This allows the program to run in windowed mode and stops the error of directx9.0 c happening!
Hope that helps?
Cheers,
