Title: Blocky shore Lines and can't see all of Hood.
Post by: SilverFox on July 13, 2014, 02:00:01 pm
I know I have asked this before and had it solved at one time with smooth curves and sandy beaches but now I'm back to a blocky shore line.  How do I fix it.  Also, can't see all of the hood.  Help please.

So we can help you better, can you please post a picture of your problem and let us know what EPs/SPs you have, along with your computer specs?

Thanks.

Without further information, all I can suggest is updating your graphic card drivers.

Have all except Pets and you are probably right, think it is my graphics card.  Not good and this computer won't handle a good card.  It is a Lenova with 6 gigs of Ram but not card, just an on board chip.  Ok, lets forget that, what about something to show more of my hoods ?

I suspect it's the integrated graphics, then. Sims 2 doesn't do well with integrated graphics (most games requiring some form of 3D rendering don't. If you're running your game on higher settings, you may have to consider playing your game at lowered settings if you can't afford to upgrade to a graphic card or a new computer with a graphic card. If your game was playing fine and is now starting to show graphic issues, then the decision may be taken from you. This is an indication your graphic chip is under too much stress and is at the stage where it is getting damaged. The best thing to do for your computer is to not play the game on it. Otherwise you risk damaging the motherboard. Fried motherboard = dead computer.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
