Do you have any lighting hacks? They can give you a "sunset" and "sunrise"


Title: No... I only have some custom lamps

It sounds to me like the draw speed of your graphics card may not be fast enough for the light transitions. Light (day) to dark (night) and visa-versa. What type of graphics card do you have.

The 7300 is a lower end card, but should not have an issue with the lighting you describe. They are a TurboCache card. Is yours set up to use the on board memory and system ram? I am pretty sure it can be set up either way. I use ATI card with Hypernemory, which is the equivalent of Nvidia TurboCache. I had to manually add the system ram to the card through the bios. If you can bump up the card memory it could help your graphics out overall.


Edit: You may want to scan your downloads with clean installer, and run the hack conflict detection utility from Paladin. You some times will find a hack you picked up unknown to you. The lighting mods seem to be causing many problems, as caffeinated joy mentioned.

I agree with billyd1000. If you've ever downloaded custom houses made by someone with any hacks or mods, they can get included in a house file (quite often unknowingly, so one really can't blame the creator). Some objects have a tendency to do the same thing. Customs phones and beds tend be hack prone, I've found.
 
Then again, it could simply be a matter of updating your graphics drivers.
