Title: Red Flashing Walls *SOLVED*
Post by: madkitty on November 01, 2009, 02:42:56 pm
I have the Sims 2 Double Deluxe, (includes Nightlife and Celebration Stuff) and ever since I installed it on my computer, (an HP pavillion a420n, which is old, not sure how old) the walls in every lot, (including the walls in create a sim) the memories that flash above sim's heads, pool walls, water, (includes ALL water, even water from sinks and hot tubs) flash 2 or 3 shades of red. The rest of the game runs normally. Keep in mind that this has happened since the moment I installed the game, before any CC. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Probably your graphic drivers that needs updating. I think red flashing stuff is an indication on that.

Yep, with flashing, colour is the key. Blue flashing is a mesh issue, and red flashing is a graphic issue. It could mean you need to update your drivers or that your video card can't support the graphic demands of the game. What are your system specs (including your OS)? That's a good place to start.

Just as I feared. I must buy a new graphics card. Mine is from like 2001, back in the Sims 1 time  :p Thank you so much guys. I'll have my computer geek uncle install it for me.
