This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets
Default flashing red walls!
After installing Family Fun Stuff all the walls in the game became red even in the creating sims mode ( very agressive to the eyes )
I tried installing the patch, but didn't work!

What should I do?

Thank you in advance


RE . I found out that in other sessons the games runs properly!

http://thesims2.ea.com/help/detail.php?help_id=238 Odds are your card (probably an integrated chipset) is no longer supported.

Either
1)uninstall FFS and restore your backup data or
2) buy a new stand alone video card that meets the requirements.

I wish there were other options. You could try to update the drivers, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.

I'm worried that my latest Salvation Army donation will result in homeless people looking like sluts from the 90s.

What are your systems specs? Graphics card, RAM, Processor type/speed? Please see this FAQ for instruction on how to get that information.

It looks like you need to upgrade your video card. As you can see from the system requirements, you need one of these chipsets for your video card:


ATI Radeon 8500 or greater;
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS or greater;

What do you mean by other 'sessions'? If you mean it runs fine without FFS installed, then this is normal because the graphics requirements were increased with that SP.

Is there any custom content when you play the game in your sisters account? Also, if you have any background tasks running like anti-virus programs because your computer doesn't have enough memory you'll have graphics problems.
