Blurry Neighboring Houses (BIG) problem!

(1/3) > >>

Mado:
I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
When I chose the game option to turn neighbors "on" so I can see other houses and buildings from my sim's house, these lots are all very blurry. The houses and buildings looks pixelized and I can barely see them. It is really annoying becuase I want my sims to have neighbors so they don't feel so isolated. I have seen Sims 2 viedos where the neighboring houses are perfectly clear and you can see them just fine. I am just wondering what went wrong with my game and if I could fix it? I have installed some custom content (clothes, hair, skintones, and a few houses) and used the "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" cheat a few times, and I was wondering if this could have something to do with it?
Please help me with this!:smt120

Thank you for any help!

Chances are you need to adjust your display settings to show more detail.  You should expect lagging because of the additional load on the video card, and if you've got a video card with less than 256kb of video RAM, performance will get real bad if you've got the latest couple of EPs.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Thank you so much, ancienthighway!
My game is very slow and it takes forever to load anything.
Is there any way I can fix the game proformance/show more detail without buying a new video card? I don't think I can afford one of those...
The game proformance on my friend's computer is much better since she has only installed one or two expansion packs. But since I've installed all of them, that is probably why it is so slow.[/COLOR]

I don't think so. The ability for your game to show high detail relies heavily on your computer capabilities, and each ep creates further demand on your computer.

My computer is pretty new and it has a good amount of memory. Would updating the video card cost a lot of money? It should have a pretty good & new video card. I got my computer 2 Decembers ago (less than 2 years ago).

Also, the detail for the household I am playing and for the Sims characters is great. The only problems I have is with the neighboring houses being blurry, the game being slower than it should be, and on the startup screen where you're in a neighborhood and you choose a house to play it is jerky and sometimes the screen turns black and blue and wont stop rotating for a while.
Some of the custom things I downloaded too like the "Hula & more" thing for video making where the sims do all these different poses, and where sims can sleep on the floor really made the game go crazy and everything was blurry and black so I had to disable custom content. I really wanted to start sims 2 video making but I'm afraid I cant if my game is this messed up :(
My computer has 480MB of RAM currently. Is that a lot or no? I'm not really good a computer things...
