The patch ruined my game - Now with pictures!
sonofajoiner:
OK.
Since installing the damn patch I've started having problems with my game that I didn't have before such as;
- blank dialogue box when asking a sim what they do for a living (I know this was a prob for some folk before but I never experienced it til patching my game)
- my graphics are screwed. I mentioned in another thread that I'm having trouble with the walls/floors/sim created paintings/sim's faces spazzing out. Now the control panel keeps breaking up, and more bizarrely becoming entirely covered in 'skin' files. (If someone can tell me how to take a screenshot and post it I'll do so next time it happens).
- buying clothes is next to impossible as the panel showing the clothes keeps breaking up and streaking, and for some unkown reason some of the custom clothes show up as a kind of distorted black catsuit when on the clothing dummy. Also the young adult icon doesn't show up in the clothing panel on university lots. Basically body shop seems to be screwed.
Is there anything I can do to sort this out? I'm pretty sick of it. Especially as we put in a brand new graphics card (GRForce 6800 GT)a month or so ago. I'm currently playing with my graphics turned down below what they were before the new graphics card. Is this happening to anyone else?

I get that sometimes. I know there was an issue way back with clothing made from the pre-release bodyshop meshes that caused that. I started downloading a fair bit of stuff again and am seeing that again recently and not sure if it's related to the pre-release bodyshop meshes or not.

Where are you running the bodyshop from? The one that came with the original game still exists, but each expansion also has one. If you have just University you want to run the one at this path: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\CSBin\TS2BodyShop.exe and if you have both University and Nightlife you want to run the one from this path: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Nightlife\CSBin\TS2BodyShop.exe

I'm not sure what you mean. Doesn't each expansion update the body shop location automatically? I've opened body shop independently of the game to see if that makes any difference.
Motoki:
No, each expansion installs another version of the bodyshop.
Kristalrose:
My theory is that you have a hack installed that might conflict with the patch? There were several things that the patch finally fixed that the modding community had already created hacks for months ago. Didn't we need to remove some of those? And I can't think of any to name right at the moment.
