Disappearing family pictures

(1/1)

Kitte:
My game crashed this afternoon while trying to open a Pleasantview lot.  I deleted groups.cache with no results.  I renamed The Sims 2 folder to start a "clean" game.  The game froze.  I removed, then reinstalled, the last stuff pack (kitchen & bath) and the game appeared to be fine.  I added back custom content (including hacks from here and TwoJeffs).  I was able to open all the lots without problem. 

I then added a new neighborhood with a university to create YA.  The CAS process seemed fine until I closed and went back to University NH view.  There was no picture in the family bin - just a swatch of plaid color.  I was able to move the toon into a dorm but again no family picture when looking at the lot from NH view.  I checked the family bin of the base NH and all the families were there except for Critturs and Roseland - the bins for those 2 families were empty (though I could move them into a lot by clicking the empty slot).  I went through the same process a couple of times (after removing recently added hacks) but had the same problem with empty family bins for Roseland and Critturs (and any newly created Sim).

I have all expansions and most of the recent stuff packs.

I hate to reinstall everything, but that's my next step unless someone here can give some advice.

For those of you who might have a similar problem, this was resolved by upgrading my ATI video driver.
