    Graphic Problem in-Game and Bodyshop

    Hi,
    I have a kind of problem.
    When I go to Bodyshop, the Sims are all like squashed, and when I go in the game it also does that.
    But all the other things (lots, neighborhoods...) work normally.
    I have all the EPs installed except Bon Voyage, and H&M Stuff Pack.

    Another thing that's weird is that I played Sims 2 for about one year and it never happened before.
    Even when I installed Seasons several months ago it didn't do that.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem ?

    The answer depends on what has changed.

    You describe a problem, but badly. Clearly this cannot have just happened. You have done something to change things ... tell us.

    Also read question 2 in the FAQs and present some system specifications with your next post. Help is hard to give without us knowing what we are advising about.

    Display 2 :

    Also I restarted BodyShop several times, and like after 7 or 8 times it displayed the Sims properly. Then I restarted again, but the Sims were squashed like before.
    Then I restarted it after 7 or 8 times, it was normal again. Then I re-restarted again, and the Sims were squashed.
    Sorry if you don't understand.

    Thanks in advance if you find anything.

    if it had never worked, I would say you accidentally use the wrong screen resolution.
    but since it seems to work every 7th-8th time I wonder, if it could be related to your monitor settings.
    sorry that I have any more specific advice. I never heard of that kind of problem

    Yeash, your game is probably getting confused. Do you have your desktop extended over both screens? That would freak out the game, I suspect.
