Place the files in your Override folder ~ DO NOT MAKE ANOTHER FOLDER*
MAKE A FOLDER FOR DOWNLOADS*

Keep in mind, there are BUGS with the InSim~
you will get stuck in the water*
you may or may not be able to move on to the next Chapter.
Jumping Bug**
Digging may not be an OPTION anymore...


Don't scream at me if your game CRASHES! Use the InSim at your
own risk!!!

It works, and it works well! Place it in your OVERRIDE file~
to do that, go to MY COMPUTER~ (C:)~ Programs~Castways Stories~   Electric Arts~ TSData~ Res~ OVERRIDES~ **
I have placed many custom objects here, and all work fine.... Its not in order ie,  Chairs and tables are all over in the files, but its works..
See photo shots...

YOU SHOULD BACK UP YOUR FILES! AND YOU STILL NEED A
DOWNLOAD FILE IN YOUR ELECTRONIC ARTS FOLDER IN YOUR DOCUMENTS!

thanks for your help, i really do appreciate it!
I follow your directions, but was unable to locate any file/tab called "Display Adapters."
So I have enclose a few more pics of my Device Manager to show you~
I realize the question marks in my device manager shouldn't be there, but I don't want to screw around with files I am unsure of.......

Thank you all for responding to my post.

Yes I tried to down load the Nvidia driver/card~  but it wouldn't allow me to.
An  message came up telling It would not be installed......

So to my knowledge, it never went through. ( driver for Nvidia)

Like I said, I found the ATI driver RIGHT for my computer and installed it.
after reaing the responses here, I went ahead and UNINSTALLED the new
ATI driver I DID install, now my computer is telling me, (" the video driver running is a generic one, reinstall the right driver,") GRRR !

I'm ready to wipe out this computer and start with the manufactering settings!  No more messing around with DRIVERS~! and CANNING the SIMS forever!


As for the graphic card, sorry I thought that was listed in the specs...
I'm unsure how to locate it~

Can some one please help me with this..
After reading ENDless forums on this Nvidia topic, I've convinsed myself
my problem may not be related to the video chip or card...

I did remove all custom contents from my game, and the problem still
was there.

I followed every instruction from EAgames help topic, emailed them all the files
they requested and they havn't gotten back to me..


Ive followed the instructions from the mod's game help, and still had problems..

I located the card right for my computer. downloaded and installed it.
(7-7_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_49709) ATI
the problem still there!

I don't even think I ever had Nvidia on this computer.....

I'm at my whits end! I really need somesome to help me, so I've enclosed
some photo's of whats happening in my game and out...
