Am losing my fucking mind! Please halp!!!

I was just laughing at how hot your allow your computer to get. Mine operates in the negatives because it is cooled with dry ice.
jolrei:
Short of using dry ice, if your computer is running at all it is inconceivable that it would be operating at 32F (0C). Computers generate heat. Even at idle, the heat is roughly equivalent to that of the human body (33-36C). It is more likely that the reading of 42C is more accurate.

I completely removed the Sims 2 folder so the game would generate a new one. I then started a completely *vanilla* game with a new family in Strangetown and used the Motherlode cheat to redecorate their fugly house. As I was adding furniture, carpet, etc., the screen would either flicker or the walls woud go down! I've never, ever had that happen before -- not even when my previous game was crashing!
I was building an apartment in a completely clean hood and had that same thing happen. In my main, playing configuration, it does not. I don't know if it has to do with the video settings that ship with the game not playing well with the video card, or what. My card is an ATI Radeon HD 4800, and is also new.

Flicker with new ATI cards is not unheard of.

I have a HD 3850 and don't have the problem. There's many cases where new drivers break things that were fine in earlier versions -- ask anyone with an nVidea card about that. :) It's possible ATI broke something again. You can download older driver versions from the ATI website, so download the 8.10 drivers, uninstall the 8.12, install the 8.10 and see if that fixes it. If so, great! If not, there's another issue going on.
Try rolling back the drivers. In the thread this post is from, apparently jsalemi's advice was good.

I'm going to try to roll back the drivers. My graphics didn't flicker before I updated them. Then I'll keep trying to find my bad custom content.
