Wierd thing with ofb Hi. I just descoverd a major problem with ofb. For some strange reason It suddenly started graphics corruption. No colours. Every sim is like a grey manaquin. So I think I lost my familys. and my house. I moved the offending sim2 folder to a safe place and put the original sim2 folder in its place. now no problems. but I would like to restore my familys and the house. regards moon
sorry to read that moon :( perhaps your graphic card is getting too hot, try to use everest to read the temperatures

Wow, Moon, that pic looks kind of scary! :confusion: I'm sorry that that's happened to your game! Aw, I wish I could help but I dunno how to, sorry. :(
I think I know what i did wrong. lol. I was speeding up my system and accidentally pushed a wrong key. I turned the system memory to cache instead of programs. Ouch. Ati cards can only read memory in programs. So I had to reinstall my drivers. And put the original, first backup sims2. And now I had to start all over again. Well now I have bought a toy shop. Cheated with motherlode.lol However I still had a little problem. I cant hire managers. I have a worker with gold toy making badge and cant promote him. And the second day I lost my car and driveway. I hate that. You pay 7000 for car and it disappeared. lol regards moon. mmm disgruntled.
