I have issues..

DoomPuppy:
I was given Family Fun Stuff for my birthday this year (gee thanks) and promptly took it off a day or so after installing.  I know that I never should have installed the damn thing but my issue is this--my game loads fine but if I leave the neighborhood chooser screen up too long (from 20 secs to a minute) my camera starts to act like it has parkinsons.  It starts from the neighborhood choser and gets worse; the actual neighborhood cars jerk like an old woman is driving them and we won't even go into how the houses act.  It seems if I'm quick and go right in this doesn't always happen.  My graphics have also gone from ok to terrible.  This damn FUN pack seems to have told my game that I have a shitty graphics card, (which I do Nvidia Geforce FX 5200) but everything ran semi-normal before.  The fun pack is removed, so why am I not running the way I was before?  Did something get reset? Is there anyway to fix this other than buying a new video card which I refuse to do..thank you very much.  Does the damn pack not actually uninstall unless I unstall the whole deal? 

BlueSoup:
It should uninstall when you uninstall it - did you have a camera mod before?  If you did, it probably would have been overwritten when you installed FFS.

And you have a better video card than I do, and I don't have this problem.  Have you checked your settings to see if they are where you left them?

C.S.:
I had some game settings issue after installing OFB, deleting the userProps.xml file helped. The file regenerates when you next start the game, it's in C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config folder. No guarantee it'll help and back up before you try though. :P

DoomPuppy:
I haven't had a camera mod since Nightlife and my settings are where I left them, I can't stand to have them anywhere else but cranked all the way up lol.  *shrugs* Was never a problem before.

I'll try your suggestion CS, maybe it's that simple.

even after uninstalling faminly fun there were still some stray files on my system.  i only realized this after uninstalling everything normaly and trying to reinstall.  the game would freeze after putting in university disk 2.  i finally realized what the problem was after clearing the misc files from both my profile and my husbands (win XP).
