When I load a household in the Sims 1, none of the items or walls load correctly. Sometimes they appear when a Sims uses them autonomously but will disappear again once they’re done. When exiting to the neighborhood, the household creates visual glitch on map when saved.
I’ve tried restarting the game, computer and “repaired” it on the EA App but nothing seems to work. Huge letdown.
BMacRKDA07 Moving a single photo takes hours? That's not normal and definitely a sign something is wrong. I can't tell you whether it's the drive or the computer overall without more information though.
Are you willing to erase the USB drive? If so, please plug it in, click Windows key-X, open Disk Management, and choose a different format for the USB than it has already. If it's currently NTFS, choose exFAT, format it, restart your computer, and repeat the process, switching back to NTFS. If it's something else, you can just choose NTFS and restart. Then try again to move the data.
Programs should be uninstalled and reinstalled whenever you want to move them. There's no reason that a regular program can't be on a secondary drive though. OS files should not be, and you couldn't move them anyway, nor could you move critical system data like the graphics driver. But games can be installed anywhere (that's compatible), and non-program-related data should be movable too.
thanks for the feedback. is there anything in the os that shouldn't be moved (clicked and dragged) to the D drive? it says that it can cause programs to malfunction or data loss. For example, it specifically said do not move "program files" file over to D drive, leave it in the OS.
Also, I have tried moving photos (we have a lot) and my computer won't handle it. Even moving one at a time takes hours. I have tried to transfer photos to a USB storage, but then when I try to open them on the USB, it says it's not compatible. So not too interested in that if I lose my photos.
BMacRKDA07 Thanks for the dxdiag. Your graphics driver is from 2018, which is the issue. Before addressing that though, please clear at least another 20-25 GB on your system drive. It currently only has 3 GB free, which isn't even enough for Windows to maneuver properly. Your D drive is almost empty, so you can move whatever you want there instead.
Here's the driver you need:
Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator." Restart your computer afterwards and before trying to play.
I am having the same issue. Here is my results. I have worked with the EA chat team and nothing they have suggested has fixed the problem.
Little-Lee2891 the solution that worked for literally everyone is to download the latest graphics drivers available for your GPU.
It worked. Thank you!
Did you find a solution? I am experiencing the same glitch.
annakayy94, download and installl the updated graphics driver from Intel's site. Scroll down to the very bottom on the page and click "DOWNLOAD":
Hi! I have the same problem with the house and objects not rendering. Could you look at my dxdiag please?
