The patch ruined my game - Now with pictures!
sonofajoiner:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try and catch screenshot of the funky control panel malarkey next time I play. Also whilst playing last night I too seemed to be encountering the dreaded Jump Bug again, but I had been mucking about with the mailboxes on various lots so that may have been responsible for that. I reckon I'm gonna remove all my mods and see if that makes any difference. The graphics problem means the game is virtually unplayable at the moment. But it's all a massive pain in the arse really, and I am rapidly losing interest in the bloody game.

I truly feel for you because I know how frustrating that is. A while back I ended up upgrading my graphics card because with the one I had I couldn't get a driver that would work with both TS2 and SC4. My old card ran SC4 just fine but wouldn't run TS2 right so I updated the driver. Then it would run TS2 and not SC4. Then after I put in my new card and installed its drivers, both games had graphics that worked, but it lowered a bunch of the graphics settings in TS2, with no option for putting them back up!

I had a problem with graphics breaking up when I had upgraded my computer. It was caused by overheating of the graphic card.
I don't know if it is the same as your problem, for me it would look like the pixels had been moved around. In the end I got coloured stripes all over the monitor. Replacing the fan on the graphic card and adding chassi fans did the trick.

Aah, now, there is a little problem with the fan (too old/noisy/other half keeps fiddling with it and making it worse). Could be it. The graphics problem you describe sounds similar. One thing I don't understand though is how skin bmp files (? I'm not too good with tech terms) end up all over the control panel. I'm still working on getting a screenshot of it. It's really very weird.

I had an overheat problem a while back and as anyonr knows an overheated pc wreaks havoc with graphis in my case the game wa suddenly swaying back and forht like ocean waves. so I sshut down the game and shut pc down and spring cleaned my computer. removed dust bunnies from my clean freak computer . hooked my computer back up rebooted and went online and downloaded speedfan. My pc now maxes out at 106 F. with HDO temp maxing at 94 degrees F. when the PC gets to much dust in it speedfan lets me know in a hurry when I see HDO temps above 100 . I know its time to spring clean again. speedfan is effective at regulating case fan speeds and is totally free. my main fan whirs away when the PC is actively being used at 3500 rpms and more depending on what Im doing at the time it slows the fans down when the PC is in Idle mode as well. I have noticed that The Sims 2 games heat up the pc in a hurry but even with that being said the max temp Ive seen is 108 with hdo reading at 97 and thats after literaly 12+ hours of playing the Sims2 nightlife
