Trails problem and some glitchy stuff
sackedmagicman:
I have a bit of a weird problem. Whenever I move items around or cursors and such it leaves trails of parts of itself in spots and flickers. As soon as i adjust the camera it stops, but it is rather annoying. The picture can easily explain what I'm talking about.
also in CAS it'll take a quarter of a sim's picture and put it in all 4 corners of the picture only giving you a quarter of their face. The same thing happens with clothing in that it'll take a quarter but only fill up half of the image it's supposed to show and sometimes it even plasters that messed up image over other clothing and pre-loaded sims that i've downloaded. (I don't have a picture of that yet but I will get one real soon).
notice how the picture of his face is messed up on the sidebar. It does that for all my sims in cas.
It happened sometime after I installed BV, so I'm not really sure what to do in this case to correct it. :\
if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it!

A Bon Voyage effect ? It's strange. You have maybe download one other file who conflicts. But arf, it's the first time I see that. ;)
Try to play without your downloads to be sure there isn't a problem from them. :)

Are all of your graphics drivers for your video card up to date? And did you install the newest DirectX 9.0c?
Also, did you take precaution an remove/update any hacks or objects you may have before installing BV? I'm not sure if it would've made a difference, but it's a thought. :dontknow: This could be a result of one of your game files corrupting during the installation process... :scratch:

hmm its not my custom content because i've taken that all out and deleted it all. Im not sure how to update my video card drivers xP. Good thing is the first pic, it doesnt do that trail glitch anymore. It still does the picture and clothing pic thing still, which is kind of a pain when i can't tell what the heck they are xD. So yeah no hacks, mods, nothin installed. And i've uninstalled and reinstalled the game about 3 times. soooo...if it's an installation error how can i fix it?
EDIT: The only theory i may have on this is that when I patched BV with the official patch, it told it me it was a good idea to have the BV game disc in with when it patched, so I don't actually know if the patch overwrote something in the BV disc that makes it do this. That's just my theory though.

Try deleting your .thumbnails folder. Sometimes it gets corrupted and is safe to delete, since the game recreates it when you restart the game. The groups.cache, memory.cache and cigen.package files work the same way. Every so often it's a good idea to delete them and let the game generate new ones. :) You'll find them in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2
