Default TS1 full-screen glitch
Hi guys, I've been bothered by this problem for a long time and couldn't find any perfect solution. This is another glitch that happens with TS1 in Windows 10.

When I start the game and try to have a good time, we're cool. But if I push "alt+tab" to switch to my desktop and then return to TS1, everything in this game looks crashed: Neighborhood lots missing (but they're still there cuz I can see the info once I move the mouse onto one of the lots), all words in the boxes are gone, and if I enter my sim family, everything is just completely messed (the graphics).

Can somebody help me?

Thank you!!!

Also I tried windowed mode and it kinda works - still can't swtich back and forth without torching the game graphics apart.

I believe the game doesn't play very well when minimizing it; on Windows 8 similar things happen. Check out the thread "Playing The Sims on Windows 10", there's a lot of useful info there.
