does this computer problem happen to all your sims or just the one lot? You could try moving them out of the house and into a new one.

do you have the  uni and nightlife patches from the sims 2 officail website?

have you tried deleting the problem computer and buying a new one?

if the screens going completely blue and the mouse starts turning over you could be experiencing a physical memory shortage on your computer. Try closing down all your other programs you can before loading sims.

also do you have any camera hacks, they might be causing some problems.

it seemed to work fairly well... my game went a little smoother and once I'd changed my vampire's appearence his fangs started working. The only trouble is I seem to have to change his appearence every time I go into the lot but at least it's working

you could try using white wallpaper and floors until you've got the furniture in and then change the floor and walls. It might help.

is this happening in buy or build mode or normal playing mode? Have you tried going into buy mode and hitting the birdseye veiw a couple of times to see if that fixes it?

you could be running out of physical memory on your computer. Try closing down as many other programs as you can before running sims and see if that helps.

Failing that you'll have to save often and quit and reload your game every two hours maybe

Thanks for that, I'll try it

I've had trouble with different clothes changing the shading on their faces... I'm not sure if it's related but does this happen with any clothes you put on them or just particular files?

Another possability is to try deleting the shower and toilet in question and buying new ones to see if that changes anything.

you mean normal word document type storytelling? Microsoft word won't do?

I've not tried woohoo in cars but I've noticed that none of my sims can do any of the BV dances. Freetime has had a number of problems I think... including faulty patches.

Is your internet timing out?

Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere else I tried looking for it but couldn't see anything relevant.

I have all EPs up to Freetime and no stuff packs but for a while now I've had a problem with my vampire fangs flashing blue and floating above their head whenever they sit (mainly with male vampires). I vaugly remember something about it from somewhere a while ago but can't remember what it is.

If anyone has any similar trouble or better still a cure, please let me know or at least point me in the direction of other forums:angel:

Thanks.
