I'm fed up!

[Darkchyld]

I just can't take it anymore!  Why is my game doing this?!  Firt, a few days ago, my bodyshop kept blacking out.  After it finished loading, it would appear as a black screen.  Whenever I went in to play Bon Voyage the came kept crashing and the application would always terminate.  After downloading a new video driver from my PC's manufacturer's website, I tried everything once more, still no change.  So I saved all my downloads, and sims I created and uninstalled Bon Voyage, hoping that would fix the problem.  Bodyshop worked fine afterwards, except some of the Maxis hairs and clothes showed up all white with lettering written over them.  So just a few minutes ago I try playing Seasons, until a message popped up saying I'm playing the wrong version of Sims 2, and need to insert Bon Voyage.  So I reinstalled Bon Voyage, made a new neighborhood, and as soon as it finished creating the neighborhood, the screen started blinking with different shapes and bars blinking across the screen.  What in the world is goin' on?  Should I just uninstall everything once again for the upteenth time and start over?  I'm so sick of these Sim Games, I almost don't even wanna play them anymore.

Your video/graphics card may be either giving out on you, or it's overheating.  I have the same type of issues from time to time (mostly on the default Downtown neighborhood) and despite all the tips I've received and tried out, it still happens... even though I've had my laptop and video card for a little over a year now.  How long have you had yours?  :scratch:

I can't tell you much, but I often read that it isn't possible to properly uninstall Bon Voyage. So, yes, if your problem is caused by the new EP, I guess you'll need to reinstall everything up to Seasons. If you want to get rid of BV altogether, that is.

I haven't even had my PC for a year yet!  Lol.  It's a 2005 HP Pavilion if that's any help to you.
