The Sims 2 on Windows Vista (Updated 7 Feb 2007)
Diantha Lafurre:
I'm posting on behalf of my mother in law. She recently bought a new laptop and we installed the Sims and the expansions up through Open For Business. It loads fine, but after a while the sims will be stretched across the screen and it's quite irritating. Her laptop has Vista on it and I would really like to get it working for her because she loves the Sims as much as I do!
Here is a bit more information, if it helps:
windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Turion (tm)64X2 Mobile technology TL-58, 1.87 GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1200

My sims' bodies go all over the place...? Same problem as Diantha Lafurre I think. I have a Vista, Sims 2 + NL. :sad4:
This happens all the time, and I was wondering what is causing it.
Also, my computer shuts off while I am playing the sims. I uninstalled it a few times, and when it wasn't there, my computer didn't shut off. So basically my game makes my computer shut off unexpectadly, without saving anything. What's the problem here? :chainsaw:
Help please!
(also, how do you upload package a sim that is in your game already? shes not in bodyshop, and SimPE says that there are "Errors". Is there another way?) :tongue8:

I just bought a new gateway m6862 laptop with vista 64 and ati mobility radeon 2600 512 mb graphics card, and I recvd an error on the 2nd time invoking sims2. A find on 2600 in this thread and I did not get a hit.
installed sims2 - ok
created chars and home and saved the game - ok
tried to go in again - error ("unspecified error")
old machine with xp and ati card - x1300 series - worked fine

The ati 2600 was a real problem for some folks on macs, trying to play the sims. I waited to get my new imac. I got it when they came out with nvidia 8800. Of course, now we find out nvidia has problems with their graphic cards. I thought...awww doesn't affect me...I have an 8800....wrong...But it does work so far. Anyway, folks with the newer macs, with ati 2600, were having real problems, such as you mention.
This doesn't help your problem though, but at least you are not alone.

I've noticed that some of my maxis made meshes and clothes cloned from maxis (i think, cc meshes) have "clipping" the meshes have black holes in them when the sim is moving... The ballerina outfit for adult females, true nude, some warlokk meshes.... This is after I installed the Apartment EP before that this wasn't a problem...
Graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450
Haven't tried to upgrade the drivers because I was told not to.. People I've been talking to say this is a fault in the game and not my computer... So the question is, does anyone else have this problem?
