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.
Okay, actually I forgot to tell you that I have two monitors linked. Here are the system specifications : 1. Processor: Intel(R) Pentinum(R) D CPU 3.40GHz (2CPUs) 2. Memory: 2046MB RAM 3. Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) 4. Free Hard Disk Space: 29.3 GB 5. Total Hard Disk Space: 89.8 GB 6. DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Display 1 : 7. Name : 256MB ATI RADEON X600 8. Driver : ati2dvag.dll Version: 6.14.0010.6542 (English) Date: 5/31/2005 22:08:00 9. Approx. Total Memory: 256.0 MB Display 2 : 7. Name : 256MB ATI RADEON X600 Secondary 8. Driver : ati2dvag.dll Version: 6.14.0010.6542 (English) Date: 5/31/2005 22:08:00 9.Approx. Total Memory: 256.0 MB 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 -le
Yeash, your game is probably getting confused. Do you have your desktop extended over both screens? That would freak out the game, I suspect.
