Background error when Travelling (Sims 1 LC)

Question

Hey! Could we get a fix for this? I’m playing on Steam, 1280 x 800, and this bug with the background occurs every time when travelling, I’ve also seen it happen on lilsimsie’s streams, and I also noticed there’s a black screen that happens every time when the image refreshes, like when going from the loading screen to the neighbourhood view, or when going from Old Town to Downtown for instance, and it’s quite jarring, and this never happened on the original Sims 1. Many Thanks!&nbsp;:)

Same for me. I can only click on certain lots too.

Ah, didn't notice this thread and reported it separately here: Unable to Travel to Lots on the Right Side | EA Forums - 11851875

Yeah, it's annoying. Especially as you're limited to the window behind the neighborhood screen window. For now, I guess lowering the resolution could help, but I don't know how to do it...

You can set the resolution by doing something like “-r1080x720” in the command line arguments :)

Thanks! Googling the resolutions reveals that the two original resolutions are:

800x600
1024x768

So the command line argument should look like this:

“-r800x600”
“-r1024x768”

I'll try it out and report back if they are good workarounds. The disk version didn't have this problem even with the widescreen patch...

Very well, it didn't work unfortunately, but I discovered that the traveling bug only applies to the old town. The other sub-neighborhoods are fine. So yeah, that's annoying.
