Graphics Issue: Certain Outfits have holes in them!
Hey, I've been playing the Sims 2 ever since it came out and now have every expansion pack for it. I've never experienced any issues with the game until I recently re-installed it after upgrading to Vista.
My problem now is that certain outfits (I guess certain meshes are the problem) appear to be missing polygons... It looks as if there are holes in the outifts! Diamond shaped holes! Haha. But, really. This is not funny. It's really annoying actually. I've also noticed that when it snows the "3D" snow does not appear... and when I move the camera around outside, the edges of the screen have blinking white triangles around them. This makes no sense to me.
I've tried resolving the issue by reinstalling the game, in order of release date. No changes. I've also tried patching each and every expansion pack, including the original game, in order. No change. I've tried re-installing the drivers to my graphics card. No change.
My System Specs:
Purchased Mid 2004
CPU: Pentium4 3.4Ghz w/ HyperThreading
Graphics Card: 215MB ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
Aye, aye, aye... Can anyone please help me?
