Bump Mapping works with my Gforce 6800GT & Nightlife.
Ancient Sim:
I don't know what bump-mapping is either, but I did some test or other that I found on a site and it appears I don't have it. Have no idea what anti-aliasing is either, or smooth edges (which are greyed-out in my game).
sanmonroe:
Here is a nice guide to tweaking your 6800 (although it works for other cards too)
Some people have been having problems with the 6800 and 7800 and Sims 2. No hard reason why locked down though.

Okay since we are exposing our ignorance to one another here....what is the more/less smooth edges option? Mine is set to low by default but so were all my other settings since installing NL (I have a Nvidea GeForceFX5200FT 128DDR, 2.167 ghz AMD Athlon, 160 GB HD and 512 mb). I tweaked all of the settings to high except the smooth edges bit (since I don't know what it does) and have been wanting to ask someone what the UI (something) setting is? Mine is off by default but I don't know what it does so I haven't touched it. Would someone mind explaining that to me?
IgnorantBliss:
Smoothing edges makes the edges less jagged. If you have the smooth edges slider all the way in the low end, when you look at something like walls in the game, the edges look jagged, kind of like a saw. When you slide it all the way up, the edges look very smooth and straight, but it's more demanding on your computer graphics.
witch:
In fact smoothing edges is what anti-aliasing does. That slider bar is anti-aliasing, just not called that in the game. My default settings pre-Nightlife with a GeForce 5700 256Mb RAM, put the slider at half way. When I turn it all the way up for taking photos, my game runs perceptibly, but bearably, slower.
It takes quite a bit more processing power to smooth edges more. I think the chip on my g card is 400Mhz, still there's a possible bottleneck. Can't remember the bus size offhand.
