when i originally installed sims, I had to tweak the graphic settings some which stopped it from crashing. I haven't had a problem with it since, but with pets, the create a sim pets are totally black and even adding them into gameplay, theyre still completely black.

Hi,
I'm sorry to say but your computer is below specs.
Pets is pretty demanding, so that's probably the issue here.

Im having the same problem. All of my pets just show up black. But everything else has color. I just bought this laptop a month ago.

The exact same thing is happening to my computer, I'm going to try and upload the dxdiag file, do you think you can help me?

Having the same problem here. I suspect the computer doesn't meet specs (although I thought I checked that before I bought it), so I am attaching the DxDiag file. Thanks for any help you can give!

Your processor is too low in specs. I doubt it can handle pets.
Did it run before ? Do you have other expansion packs ?

Heya, I'm also having this problem but it seems as if a few of the pre made pets (the ones other sims families own) turn up colored. Like a poodle I saw and a little foal. But all the pets I create are all black with no features... I hope to be able to fix this problem.. Thank you!

Hi please look at this. All my things go wrong on sims with the graphics. The actual sims glow up on the body as if I am about to press on their body when I am doing the face etc. Also my pets are just plain black and I am really confused. I have done your steps though and here is my dxdiag.

Your specs are very borderline but try updating your graphics drivers.
