Title: TRIANGULATED BOOBS! SOLVED thanks to TashaFaun!
Post by: Kazzandra on 2008 May 29, 23:15:47
This is one of those problems that I'd like to fix, but if it is unfixable, so be it.

(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll123/mount_tazneen/snapshot_14ba39f8_552a2cdb.jpg)

ATI 9600,
1.5 gigs RAM.
2.21 GHZ processor.

Any ideas? Anyone seen anything similar?

What are your graphics settings at?  Looks a bit low.  If you up them, does it help?

For serious.
It looks like you drew the first one with MSPaint.  Also, there is a teacup hovering about the bathtub.

Okay, taking down the first one as I was using it as an More Awful than you! contest entry.

The second one is all about perspective. That's a toddler pot in the background, there.

My settings are all the way up. Maybe the card is overheating? It gets hot in here sometimes...

The funny thing is that when I take an in-game screenshot, it looks normal. I have to print screen to capture the oddness. It only bothers me, that is to say.  ;D

EDIT: Square pixels was on, I noticed. But could it cause this?

Have you tried windowed mode?  I get this if I run in full screen, although it is only on certain meshes for me usually (like some of the hm pack dresses for instance).   Does it happen on all your sims?

Not all sims. Certain meshes. But I hate windowed mode-- because I can't scroll to move the camera.

I used to get that too. The only way to stop it is to turn shaders off. Sometimes it takes awhile for problems like that to show (I had shaders on for months and it only started with newer EPs). My advice turn shaders off and put it in your userstartup.cheat file.

This seems very likely. Come to think of it, every time I install a GunMod camera or derivative thereof, I think this problem rears its head again. And... there it is! "boolProp UseShaders true" Alright, thanks so much TashaFaun! Awesome that you were able to diagnose that!  :)

Dude, save that picture.  That is FINE MODERN ART.  Seriously, print it as a poster and submit it to a fineart studio.  Say you drew it that way deliberately.  See what they say!

And don't change anything, especially that teacup.

It's not a teacup it's a gazunda.

Nah, I think it gazunda the bed.

Here in Oz when they were used way back when, it meant gazunda the bed when you're finished with it.

Yes, nothing says art like nude women, and nothing says modern art like missing pieces of said woman's boobs. I'll say it's a social comment on the way women feel these days with natural breasts.  ;D

I was thinking it was more about how transparent and unimportant we feel in a society that insists on objectifying the female form. How different and alien our outward appearance can seem to ourselves when it doesn't necessarily match the person inside.

Yes, yes! Perfect! But what does the white owl/gazunda/tea cup say? It has to be a significant, too!

The cup signifies the futility of trying to stand out as an individual (see: past comments about unimportance and objectification) in a world of half-whip venti-cappuccino-drinking drones.
