Re: Sims Castaway Stories screen flashing problem

@LiaRose1435 Please list Graphics Rules Maker settings that your game uses, as well as which graphics card the game is running on. The card should be listed in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims™ Castaway Stories\Logs inside a [DESKTOP/LAPTOP]-config-log.txt file, under Graphics Device Info.
