Particle(is that what you call them?) effect problem
sackedmagicman:
Hello there, I'm a long time lurker/down loader/member, and a not too often poster. I have a small problem with certain effects in game(I would describe them as particle effects?). Basically certain objects particle effects don't work like the Gobi strobe light: It produces light to the surrounding area, but like there won't be any lasers or beams of light coming out of it. The same thing happens with smoke machines at clubs, they don't actually produce anything when turned on. Lastly I've noticed this happens with music in the game too: the music notes effect does not show up even when say a radio or stereo is turned on.
My display drivers are up to date, I have the latest patch for Late Night(6.1.11.009001), so it shouldn't be an issue with my graphics card or game version, so I'm wondering if maybe it's one of my many custom content files or mods installed. If this is the case, then what type of mod would cause this sort of behavior? Any help is appreciated :)

First, what are your computer specs? Also is Late Night your most recent EP installed? Do you have any stuff packs?
Jenna:
Well, since Late Night is the most recent EP, I'd say yes. ;)
Another thing to check: go in game, click on 'Options', and check what setting your 'Visual Effects' slider is set at. I have a feeling it may be set too low -- thereby disabling the effects you mentioned.

*facepalm* Yeah, my bad. I'm not up to date on the latest EPs/SPs for TS3.

I have all the EP's and SP's(Base, WA, AM, LN, HEL stuff, FL stuff) and I have all my game settings on high(except trees, I hate loading those).
I also run this game in a window at 1368x768 resolution(85:48). I don't use fullscreen as I would always have crashing issues with it(whenever certain base game items were clicked it would just close itself)
PC Specs(Hope this is enough info):
========
CPU: Intel Core i7 930 (O.C. to 3.0ghz)
GPU: Dual nVidia geForce 9800GT's(SLI)
RAM: 3x2GB A-Data 1600mhz gaming RAM
MoBo: some gigabyte mobo that can handle everything I've put on it lol
PSU: 700-watts
And my game is stored on a Sata-III HDD.
