You too and to everyone else, also.

Okay. I'll do that. Thanks. Problem is solved anyways, and now I know what I can do to prevent it. Thanks for your patience.

(Can someone close the topic?)

That's what I was thinking..

What would it do, or what could people do?

AH, okay, thanks so much. It says,

ATI Radeon Xpress 1150

If it's not the number, not sure what it is.
The number is,

EDIT: Ooops, forgot to mention, I'm running on a laptop, and I'm using XP as it says.
And I wanted to apologize for being so frustrating.

Ohh. That I understand. I fixed the problem, though. The flashingness is gone. One of the folders or something must've been screwed up, because I just reinstalled my last installed EP. Well it's all good now, and now I know how to answer the question, What are your computer specs?

Alien babies? I have default alien techs, so they shouldn't be ugly, but yeah, they turn out that way too. When they grow, then they're cute.

I am so lost. I know I'm making everyone frustrated, I'm sorry.

I think I fixed it, though. It must've been something in the game files, because nothing I did with updating drivers helped, and when I reinstalled the game the problem was gone. I made a new neighborhood and the problem wasn't there. I just want to try puting back in my downloads to make sure it wasn't anything there. If it was, then I'll keep trying to understand this. I just don't want to bust my brain when it was already fixed. I'm sorry if I'm making anyone mad/frustrated.

I really don't know how to answer them. I just know I'm runing on a laptop, using Microsoft, seems Windows XP seems farmiliar, and found out that I don't have a graphics card, but I only have what came with the computer, and it's not good to run games on.

What do you mean by computer specs? (I know, I need a course on basic computer things..)

Well, I just loaded the game. No flashing red. I'm going to replace my downloads and see if the problem is still gone.

I've tried EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had my dad get on and update drivers and try everything he could, and the problem is still there! I've tried uninstalling, IT WON'T LET ME! (Sorry for the caps, I'm soooooooo upset.)
I go to remove programs, and I click remove, and nothing happens. I waited. Nothing. I went to start, all programs, EA Game, Sims 2 Apartment Life, uninstall, NOTHING!

I'm so upset right now I could just slam my head onto a wall. I'm sorry, it's just like my life, without it I'll be going to sleep at 7 every night and doing nothing but homework and awkwardly walking around the house out of boredom.
I'm sorry for the caps, I'm not yelling, I'm letting out my anger for the stupid Sims 2 game.

EDIT: Okay, I've totally been restarting my computer about a bajillion times and now it will let me uninstall Apartment Life. I'm going to back up my downloads, and delete the EA Games folder. I know it'll make a new one. Then I'll try replacing downloads and going ingame. If this doesn't work, I'm going to reinstall the whole entire game tonight.

Lonleyma, I thought you said her name was Kimmy?

Yeah, it has. Sims is like my life because my parents ignore me, and now my simmies are failing on me, too.
Thanks for replying.

Okay. I'll try that. *sigh* I'll edit my post as soon as I do.

EDIT: It's my graphics card. I removed downloads, and I went to Pleasantview and it was flashing red. What can I do to fix it? Please help me, I'm in tears.

Now whenever I load a neighborhood it flashes red! I'm so upset right now I can just cry. I don't want to reinstall my game, and I can't, because i don't have my cds. HELP ME PLEASE! (It's not my computer or anything, it happened out of the blue.)

*cries* 


Oh, and what's the lighting file name originally with Maxis?
