Re: [FIXED] Sim flashing

For Get to work, this was reported before the patch although it was tied to a certain window type (not sure if it's the one used at the hospital

Could you check if the flickering goes a way on 32 bit as this one was a 64 bit issue

  • This may very well be the window causing the issue, the flickering happens at a much slower rate and less noticable than the fixed issue that affected most people. I'll give it another shot on 32-bit client when I get the time to. 🙂

    Is it just happening in the Hospital ?

    This does still seem to happen with certain Windows

    Does it also occur on the 32 bit version ?

  • Not just in the hospital - that was just the most extreme example. It happens anywhere indoors and there does not have to be a window in the room. Computers are another place where it's often particularly bad. The only consistent thing I've noticed is that the flickering seems to happen when a Sim is bending or crouching. It is happening for me in both 64-bit and 32-bit.

    It's harder to see in the 32-bit version because of the color of my Sim's sweater - it's still there though.

    The issue they fixed affected 64 bit only so you might have a different flickering issue.

    Does it maybe depend on the Window you're using or is it happening in all houses ? Also if you start a new game for testing purposes ?

  • Opened a brand new game and used cheats to promote Sim so that I could run the ultimate flashing test - the treadmill.

    Saw no sign of it.

    Actually ran this game with mods on - so it's *not* any of those. Unfortunately, it seems to be just my game - irritating, but I'll have to live with it.

    Tested it in my main game - and it happens in every location and every household I tried.

    Thanks for helping me to pin it down, tho.

  • Hi Crinrict, 

    I have a question about flickering sims in game. I play TS4 on a newer Macbook Pro, I do play with mods occasionally etc. The last time I played I realized that my sim started to flicker in one area of the lot. Center of the room. Of course, I checked the CC I had installed, restarted the game without my Mods folder and checked my graphics settings. I have tried everything to fix it removed the ceiling of my build, replaced the lot and moved the lighting in the room, changed the lighting engine, repaired the game etc. I didn't want to reinstall the entire game just for it to happen again so that is my last resort.  Do you have any suggestions to fix this?
