The patch ruined my game - Now with pictures!
sonofajoiner:
I have finally taken some pictures/screenshots of some of the graphics problems Im having. And despite showing up fine in game, for some reason the pictures are not showing up in the actual storytelling folder. So Ive collected together a few examples and packaged them as a story to the exchange. Itd be much appreciated if someone could maybe take a look and hazard a quess as to wtf is going on. If I cant get it sorted out Im going to give up altogether!

Edit:
This is what I mean about the control panel spazzing out anyhow. If you look closely you can clearly make out teeth, eyes, ears and nostrils. Clicking on the 3 dots and back again usually corrects it. Weird though.
Motoki:
I'd say it's either a video card/driver issue or else some corrupted install files. Have you tried backing up your neighborhoods and doing a reinstall? I know it's a pain in the ass but sometimes it does fix things.
If that doesn't work, try different versions of drivers for your video card. If you already have the latest, see if you can find an archive with some older versions of the video driver. In some cases older versions actually work better for some strange reason because they tweaked something that a particular game doesn't like in newer versions.
Try searching around too like big sites like MTS2, The Exchange, TSR and try different keywords to see if you can locate someone with the same problem and maybe they'll tell what they did to solve it. Also you could try large boards based around your video card manufactuer (ATI and Nivida have loads of fanboys ::) ) and search those boards for "sims" or "Sims 2" and see if anyone else mentions the problem. It might be something particular to your card and/or driver version. :-\

That's pretty cool, though. To think that you have literal skins in your UI "skin" textures. :D
Brynne:
Whoa, that is bizarre! Your "storybook" cracked me up. I'm sorry, but I'm still laughing. "suddenly the boys have stopped calling"! I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at that one. And "meet random skin"...
But, as for the problem goes, I agree with Motoki. Check the forums for your video card. I've had to consult those forums many times, with less-interesting problems than yours, of course...
SciBirg:
I am sorry about your game, but that is just hilarious.
Have you tried loading up your game without the download folder (yeah, I know your sims will be butt-ugly but maybe they will actually have a face...)
