I replaced the card with a 9800 GTX. I had to pay an extra 65$ as it's a more expensive card but it works flawlessly. I can now enjoy again sharp textures instead of fuzzy ones. Aikea Guinea stuff looks sooooo good with this card. I've even started ditching some of the more crappy cc that simply does not look acceptable anymore.
My next step is to try bigger houses to see how much my card can handle. I always had to restrict myself to little lots in the past.
This new card is making the game fun again.
Heh, that's what I did, I always used large lots, but kept the settings down. Aikea really does do some good work, but I did find outfits by other people that I loved but had to ditch when I saw them with the new card. Mainly people who couldn't figure out bump mapping, what it was, how much was too much, and that the clothing item that they used as a base had it while the new recolor that they did on top of it did not.

My eyes are bleeding trying to imagine this ;)

Which is better the 9800 Pro or GTX? I had a Pro before, but it got messed up so I had to get a new card. Forgot about all the issues with nVidia cards and Sims 2 and got an nVidia 7800 GT and have not been able to run the game well since I got it though I've updated and rolled back the drivers multiple times and not at all since February without it crashing during play (or before play as in loading the neighborhood) . . . So I'm probably going to get another 9800 card. I don't have anything but the regular PCI and AGP connectors in my motherboard because it's an older computer, so would like to get the best card that would work with my system. I don't want to run into any other problems though like this blinking thing . . . I don't think I ever experienced that with the 9800 Pro.
