sim tv not displaying

<< < (5/11) > >>

sewinglady:
hubby did...he says it's something to do with the video cards.  He knows all that techno-speak.  Me?  I just use and abuse computers. He's talking about fixing that and also fixing the fan speed on these video cards - something about they don't run fast enough when you're playing high end games (I think this would be something with much higher refresh rates than sims2? or not?)

I was finally able to get all the way through having the computer 'touch' every stinking file in the downloads folder (only took 3 tries as it would go so far and crash). 

So about an hour ago, I restarted the computer and started the game and was able to play a family for an hour without the thing crashing.  I didn't let any of my minions watch TV and even with the birth of a baby, toddler growing into adulthood and the father getting a promotion, there was no crashing.  So Whew! I think I'm past the worst of it. May just have to have a TV FREE neighborhood.  sure wouldn't hurt my feelings.  If I hear that sports channel noise one more time...

witch:
I'm glad for you.

That sport TV noise is so irritating! I don't like it in real life and I don't like it in the sims. Most of my sims don't own TVs.  :D

KatEnigma:
This is a "known problem" with the game and 2xxx and 3xxx cards. If there's a solution, I haven't found it yet.  :P
