Trails problem and some glitchy stuff

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
Hmm i have a Thumbnails folder and groups.cache, but i have no memory.cache or cigen.package. The only other cache i have is Accessory.cache...so I did delete them, but not permanently from my recycling bin. I just want to know if it's good if I deleted just the folder and groups.cache.

I think Joy's caffeine level isn't up to the correct level yet for normal operating...she probably meant accessory.cache rather than memory.cache.
It is perfectly save to delete the .cache and .thumbnail files. The game will regenerate them when it start up again.
You never mention your computer and video specs or the EPs you have. The graphic artifacts left when placing an object indicate there may be too many demands on the graphics and the video display can't keep up with them all.

ok uh here's my pc specs
- Dell XPS 600
- DVD/CD drives
- Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz
- 2046MB RAM
- Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A04
- DirectX 9.0c
- NVIDIA GeForce 6800 graphic card
- SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio sound card
- Samsung SyncMaster 930B 19" monitor
- I use a 1280 x 1024 resolution
- I have all EPs. And all stuff packs so far except Teen Style, IKEA stuff, or Holiday Stuff.
So does that information help you at all?
EDIT: When I installed the monitor to my pc I accidentally installed it in analog rather than digital. Don't know if that makes any difference, because the problem didnt happen until way after I installed the monitor due to me having to replace my Hard Drive because the old one got corrupted.

*facepalm* I did mean accesory.cache and, no, I haven't had nearly enough coffee yet. I woke up this morning and hit the ground running...busier than heck here. So, my bad. Must go amend the situation and get more coffee.
sackedmagicman:
Well i did delete those, but it still did all that glitchy stuff again. So any other ideas? Oh and it's started to do trails again like the first pic i posted.
