New graphical glitches
Lorelei:
Sara, I am so grateful that you are trying to help me. I am at my wit's end.
DAMMIT, I just want to kick and throw things, or cry. I am so tired of this stupid game NOT WORKING.
I don't care if Veronaville, Strangetown, Riverblossom get burninated, but I have several families in P'view I'd like to keep, plus some YAs and dorms in the P'ville uni, not to mention painstakingly constructed hoods like Dtown and Bluewater. I'd rather not lose my customized subhoods.
I never know if my NVidia card is going to cooperate or not. I never know if my hood or lot or CAS/CAP is going to freeze.
I spend literally DAYS trying to find out why the game is farked THIS TIME, and then get to play for about forty minutes if I am lucky, then it freezes or hangs or crashes or blue screens. I'm weary of fighting with it.
I download approved fixes, like the DNA fixes for S'town and V'ville. I use awesome hacks. I scan with clean install and hack conflict detect.
I run nothing in the background so the spoilt rotten game has all my attention 100%, no sharing.
I just want to be able to play the goddamned game. This is getting ridiculous. *rips hair out*
I'm not technical. I can't throw lots of money at the problem. I follow instructions given to me, and usually they work. But nothing is working. I can't get any company-side answers to my graphics card problem, be it NVidia, EA, Sony, etc. No one gives a shit that the damn card and game loathe each other.
I'm so tired. Every time I have a day off to play, I end up trying to fix the game instead, not playing. Augh.
Diala:
I have no advice to share with you, since I am sure you've done everything possible that I can think of. I just wanted to say that I feel your pain, if only on a minor scale.
The only thing I can suggest is to: a) buy a new card, or b) wait for nVidia to do something about it.
Hecubus:
To save your sims, try packaging the lots...then when you reinstall them, only choose the lot and the family. BE CERTAIN you don't load in any of the extra people who might be along for the ride, though. (I borked a favorite lot because my Sim had invisibile friends.)
Cons:
Well I don't have graphical glitches, however as you can tell from my thread, I have plenty of other glitches.
And I agree with this statement:
I just want to be able to play the goddamned game. This is getting ridiculous. *rips hair out*
Don't know what to tell you to do either....Nvidia card or not, it should play at least after toning down the settings. I tried that today, even though my card can handle all the bells and whistles...well I did have more ram available, but the SOB sound went to stammering and boom it crashed. About after a couple hours of play.
Personally I think the game code is buggy as hell. But that's just me.
Hope you solve it....

How do I pack the lots if I can't see them?
