WTF? snowy lots flashing blue **NOW WITH PICTURE**

<< < (2/4) > >>

I had this problem before, but with water. I had to change my graphic card.

JacobM:
the lot is just a small, square of a house i made on an empty lot with my sims living there. it was after i actually built the house, they're very nature oriented so they just lived outside.

i've encountered two other problems though, there's a flashing blue box on the corner of every lot, but it disappears in live mode when i put my cursor over it.
and my sim was digging a hole outside, and it's hard to explain, it there isn't any 'dirt' on the hole, just grass. so it looks like they're digging into grass, basically.
i'll try taking out the sunset mod, but i don't know why it's happening i've had that mod before without any problems.
the only thing i've done recently was reinstall nightlife because of missing textures, and i had to reinstall everything after seasons.

this happens on all lots, by the way.

do you think my seasons files could be corrupt?
i have a problem now because i've lost the disks for seasons and earlier expansions, except nightlife.
i do have all the disks that come after seasons and all stuff packs.
family fun stuff, i can't find though.

majalene:
I'm sure it's because you desinstalled and reinstalled your EP. You should desinstall all your game in keeping your download stuff. I had problems with that kind of thing. But after desinstalling the game, you have to go in execute, regedit, then click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER, software, and delete ea game. After, clean your hard disk, and defragment it. Restart your pc, then reinstall your game. That the better solution for your problem, I guess.

JacobM:
it was only nightlife though, i've done it before and i didn't have a problem. i don't really know how nightlife can corrupt files in seasons. i found my seasons disks so i guess i'll just do an uninstall/reinstall and see if it helps. would defragging really do anything for my game? is there an advantage to cleaning the hard disk?

majalene:
Yes, it is. But to clean your hard disk, it's very easy. Just right click on the your hard disk, go in proriety, then clean, ok. Repeat the right click, propriety, then clean, other options, click on the last cleanup button, then ok. I think that if you reinstalled nightlife under season, that might not be good, because the patch that comes with seasons are not in nightlife. So it makes a bug. I think it's the problem. Unless that someone have another idea.
