No water? That's a problem! So here we are, I've decided to reinstall my sims 2 with all the expansions. Today I was playing and I just noticed that the water in my neighborhood dont show up, I don't know if the texture is missing or anything but this strange. Actually I removed all the custom content, all mods, deinstalled objects color enable, simscleaninstaller and scriptorium. That didn't change a thing. Actually I don't know which expansion could cause that... I was wondering if there is a way to perform a repair-install without having to reinstall the whole thing? excuse my bad english :/
Post your dxdiag because it's looking like a issue with your graphics. You can Google how to do it as it's a bit of a different process between XP and Vista.
Yes, please post a dxdiag. Has water ever shown up on this computer? If so, one of the mods may have broken it and you may need to uninstall everything and then reinstall. There is no repair install option.
