FA and FYA Thumbnails have pink/black skin
Help! I am having a problem with the thumbnails in Create a Family and in BodyShop, as well as the previews in Body Shop. This happens ONLY with female adults and female young adults. In the thumbnails, the exposed skin (not covered by the clothes) appears black and/or pink where it should be flesh color. (As you can see in the pictures) It happens in all categories, with both custom and Maxis content, for the FA and FYA clothing. I have no problems with the other ages of females (toddler, teen, elder, etc), nor do I have problems with any males. In Create a Family (CAS), the thumbnail is as described above, but the preview is correct (without black or pink). I have deleted all thumbnails in the thumbnail file (c:/documents/ea/thesims2/thumbnails) and all of the cache files and cigen file in the sims 2 file folder (c:/documents/ea/thesims2) and this has not changed anything. I do not have any other issues with the game. I have great in game video / pictures, no "blocked" water, I see the fish just fine, etc. I have added my video card to the videocards.sgr without issue as well.
I have attatched pictures and a DxDiag with my system specs. I know Windows 8 sucks for the Sims 2, but I got the game working by spending a lot of time in the help forums reading (thankyou to all!). However, I have not seen this issue addressed! Thank you in advance for all who may attempt to help!
