I had a weird problem yesterday with Sims 3. I couldn't play at my usual  resolution {the highest} but only at the next one down. Today it is back to normal. I have Sim detail set to high and lowering this yesterday made no difference. Any ideas why this would happen and then be OK again? I would love to know in case it happens again.

Also, since I installed the 1.4 patch my Sims sometimes get stuck when serving food. They still move about but have their hand in the "holding a plate position". One of mine was cleaning a Counter like this. It was irritating but funny. To get them out of it I have to make them open the Fridge. This fixes it. Any ideas why this should happen? It never happened before I installed the patch and I have added no mods or hacks since then.

My daughter and I are playing this and have a question. We have a Sim in the Military Career and when he changes into his uniform his hair, normally dark, changes to a light red color. When he changes out of uniform it goes back to dark again. Any idea why--or how we could fix this?

I have been about for a while but never said Hi--so here I am. I am married with 4 kids and another on the way. I was born in Hamburg and my Husband is a Polish-American. We now live in London and our youngest was born here. 

I have had a problem for some time with Sims 2 movies made in the game playing back upside down. I have now solved this problem myself and wondered it any one else needs help, as i couldn't get help anywhere and had to do it myself.  You need the vp6_decoder.exe from On2 Technologies. Run it and select repair. In my case I had the codecs but had somehow or otherr lost the drivers.
