I'm having a problem with sims 2, I'm guessing it's some sort of graphic or video problem (I'm pretty computer dunce so it could be something VERY simple)
I'm not using a crack or anything, the game simply runs extremely blocky and slow (nearly unusable) either when someone uses the toilet, shower (whenever it tries to pixelate someone) and replaces them with a black square, or when I try to create a new sim, the mirror goes completely black and again, runs unbearably blocky and slow.
I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and no-one else seems to be having it. I've checked the specifications and all seems to be fine, and I installed directx 9.0c
Any ideas? :greencry:

**I've put this is the emergency section since I only have a week to play it, then my brother's moving out and taking the PC and I'd very much like to be able to play this properly**
