Sims 2 Graphics Problem- Red Blinking

So I found all of my old sims 2 games and wanted to install them on my desktop to play considering I miss it so much. My computer is a gaming desktop so I can play any game on it without a problem. Well, every time I installed just the base game the whole neighborhood map would blink red, and the houses blink pink. Then it would crash any time I tried to see if it was the same in CAS. I REALLY want to run the sims 2 and all of its expansions and stuff packs. I installed The Sims Life Stories and have absolutely no problem with it but the small problem of the black box under the sims feet but that's an easy fix. How can I get the graphics fixed, stop crashing to play it? Please help. 

Here's my specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz (8 CPUs)

System type: 64-bit, x64 based processor

DirectX 12

    Sounds like a graphics card issue.

    If you're up-to-date with graphics card drivers, it means a recent update broke something.

    If you haven't, it means a recent update might fix it.

    It's hard to tell nowadays, when graphics card manufacturers don't really care about games that use DirectX 9.0c or older...
