With the DXDiag, rather than attach a photo - could you click on the 'save all information' button which will create a text file.

Also can you let me know the following information:

3. Other Sims stats:

Whether you are on UC or DVD
What O/S you have.
I also need to know the file sizes in your thumbnail folder - that's in your my documents/ea/the sims2/thumbnails/ folder.

1. See in your thumbnails? Your CASThumbnails.package and your DesignModeThumbnails.package are way too big. Delete them, and start up your game again. Go into your catalog, and flip through to the end. That is the start of you fixing the pink flashing. This will make a difference almost immediately.

2. Your Graphic Rules is fine - it is set up correctly for your game. You have 2035 Mb available. Which is probably enough for your CC, depending on how many large texture objects that you have.

3. Check your bedding and hairs, Jonesi Blankets and anything that has really large textures (i.e. textures 1024x1024 or above). If you reduce the number that you have, your texture memory will cope better. Aim for 50-100 bedding, and something similiar for hairs and Blankets. Keep just the things you use, rather than all the things you might use - put them out of the game and only add them in again if you are going to use them.

4. Do you use shader mods? For example the water shading mods? You will need to remove them, because they are too much of a load on your Graphics card.

5. You may also want to go through the steps in this post, to give your CC more room to move.

Note: You don't need the CPU throttle option.
You could probably do with 1, 3 and 4, if you haven't already.

@Chzis

Start with Point 1. You don't have to do the others unless point 1 doesn't completely work.

To be honest, if you're having trouble with pink flashing, then re-shade is likely to be adding more textural memory burden.

That being said, I'd say try it - if pink flashing starts, then take it out. Otherwise enjoy! Smile

Information we need

  2. Your operating System.

Sorry, that is a members only option
