I...hate...Nvidia
Giggy:
well no need to, I've fixed it by turning off writes and slowing down the acceleration!
Cons:
Yes drivers and Nvidia seem to be as bad now as they were with ATI for years. Funny now ATI's drivers seem to be better, but there was a time when they were "crap".Personally I miss 3DFX, they always had great drivers.
Anyway, I have a GF6600 and the driver that's working great with the Sims2 game is the 7.1.8.9 driver isssued 4/1/2005. It's still downloadable from Nvidia's site. Starting with the 8.1. somethings the video in this game gets really glitchy and the card runs hot. So I went back to a driver I knew was good and everything is good again. So much for updating drivers.Ain't broke don't fix it, rule of thumb.
When Sims 1 came out and I was using a Radeon 7200 card, I had the same issue with ATI drivers.
Finally found one that worked and never updated it again.

I know you've already fixed this issue, but I figure I'd let you know about a work-around that I've discovered on a similar issue: try changing the in-game display resolution.
Some people I've heard from with various chipsets made by both ATI and NVidia had corruption issues with 1024 x 768 resolution. I guess the game hates it, which is a shame, because most games default to it.
I've never given it much thought, because most of my monitors now are LCD and I always play in-game at the native res. So, I'm never on 1024x768 anymore.

Funny how results can vary so much from user to user (my nVidia has always treated me well), and even more from game to game.
Over on a Civ IV board I've frequented, I remember the ATI people envying the nVidia people because they were having so much less trouble with that game.

I've only got weird graphic stuff like that happen since i installed OFB i swear they keep changing the specs on every expansion. ::)
