Title: Blue screen while building and decorating Post by: Carida on July 17, 2007, 12:18:02 am Greetings,
And yup, that's basically what's going on every time I try to build a building or decorate on an already exsisting lot. After a certain amount of time my game goes blue screen and crashes. I was trying to make a school and hospital for a story of mine and boom, crashed. Its getting to the point that I don't even want to bother trying to decorate at all. *sighs* Anyone know what might be the issue? I searched through the forum and I wasn't able to find something that related to my issue. So if there is something already answered relating to this, I apologize for posting it yet again. Any help would be most appreciated, my thanks. -C :) Title: Blue screen while building and decorating Post by: caffeinated.joy on July 17, 2007, 12:59:45 am Have you tried updating your video drivers?
Title: Blue screen while building and decorating Post by: Carida on July 17, 2007, 01:04:13 am Yes, everything is fully updated.

Title: Blue screen while building and decorating Post by: Carida on July 17, 2007, 01:10:36 am It usually happens after about 5 to 10 minuets of decorating, I save in between because I know about its habit of crashing, sometimes its easier if I go to live mode and just play for a while and then come back and decorate a little bit more, then play then.. etc. But if I keep that up, it eventually crashes anyway.

And I always shut down all background running programs like it recommends on the back of the game. Title: Blue screen while building and decorating Post by: trl on July 17, 2007, 12:15:06 pm Carida, do you have an Nvidia graphic card? If so there is a new beta driver out that may help. See this thread here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=52772). It lists which cards this may help. The final version is to be released this week if you want to wait for that. I had this problem for so long and thought I fixed it but my crashing began again. :( It hasn't happened since I installed this. (I hope I haven't spoken too soon about my card.) *worried look*
