Ground flashes and turns black! Help Please
rwills:
Just in case (sounds like a typical Nvidia/Sims2 card problem - although they are listed as compatible, nvidia cards and Sims 2 don't generally play well together but the usual problems can be tamped down to a minimum), try it with this spelling instead:
boolprop useShaders false
and additionally this one:
boolprop objectShadows false
And do follow the advice given above to get the latest drivers. Get drivers here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
And remember to uninstall the old drivers first before installing the new ones. See here:

Thanks Everyone. I have the latest drivers but I'm going to try the cheat again to see if it works. I really appreciate all of the help :D!
DarkAmaranth:
It may also be that you have anti aliasing forced. If nothing else works try this.
FORCED ANTI-ALIASING: The Sims 2 will have graphical problems if anti-aliasing is forced to always be on. To fix this:
* From the Start Menu, choose "Control Panel"
* In the Control Panel, choose "NVIDIA Control Panel"
* Select "3D settings"
* Under "Appearance", select "Adjust Image Settings with preview"
* Choose "Let the 3D Application decide" option and Accept
If that isn't it, then it is possible hyperthreading is enabled in your BIOS and you need to disable it. If ou are not comfortable changing your BIOS settings, contact a techinal support rep at NVIDIA and they can help you do it properly.

As you are using Vista, if you haven't already done so you might try turning off Windows Defender. See here for how-to:
http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-disable-Windows-Defender
Reasons?
a) it's a piece of redundant crapola anyway.
b) having it enabled in the background could be gobbling up enough resources to impact your gameplay.
Also, if you happen to be running Norton anti-virus, turn it off before (and keep it off during) gameplay.
