Title: Black Thumbnails in buy/build
Post by: Hunii on July 09, 2008, 09:21:44 pm
A couple of days ago i upgraded my computer, new mobo, processor, ram, graphics card! After the upgrade i didnt reformat an just installed the mobo new drivers onto my harddrive over the old ones, i did uninstall my older graphic drivers before reinstalling the new ones. Computer as running good except for the occasional BSOD & that was happening when i wasnt even in my game.

So i formatted installed all software that i use an all my games back, i have all 8 EP's & 8 SP's.
Installed scriptorium & the lastest CEP an fired up my game with a few bodyshop CC went into game clicked on UNA house an did a run through there. The reason  tested with bodyshop cc is because i had a issue a while back with non of it showing up.
Checked the mirror to change appearance an this is what i got

After i clicked ok to save the changes, my control panel looked like this ...
(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm106/Hunii-Lala/ReflexSims/Misc/Utoh1.jpg)

So i exited out of game remove bs cc & put in some cc objects an this is what i get ...

Now NOT all cc objects are blackened out some cc show normal even the recols but if i place the object in home it shows up fine an i can change the colour with the designer tool! Only its so time consuming.

This is what i have tried too see if it will fix it ..
::smilieiforgetwhi::1. Reinstalled my GC drivers ... didnt help!
::smilieiforgetwhi::2. Downloaded lastest drivers... didnt help! Yes i uninstalled previous drivers first. :happy8:
::smilieiforgetwhi::3 Uninstalled freetime an reinstalled ... didnt help.
::smilieiforgetwhi::4.Tried different neighbourhods, shows like that in all :S

I doubt its CEP because i tested game before installing any CC.
I dont have hacks an dont use the light mod.

Computer specs..
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte NvidiaGeforce GA-73VM-S2
RAM Mermory 2048 MBs
NVIDIA® GeForce 9600GT/HTDI/512M GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0
 - driver version 175.19
HD: WD 320Gig
External HD: WD 500Gig
LG 19in Monitor
Logitec speakers & sub

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Perhaps it's the "objects.package" file that's corrupt? I know you uninstalled and reinstalled just FT, but you may want to try this method (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Corrupted_Objects.package) in fixing corrupt objects.package files for your earlier EPs... if you have any.  ;)

Or you could try deleting the .thumbnail files found in the Thumbnails folder.
