Hello, so my problem is that when my sim goes to talk to many sims like 4 sims the game just goes horribly slower and its painful, when there's only 2 sims talking its just a little bit of lag, and w...

@mynameissstamara , are you using any mods or CC? Can you post a screenshot of what the sim looks like? Have you tried playing the game at all and are they still shinny?
@Tremayne4260 Sorry i took so long to reply, i had to deal with microsoft because my computer literally malfunction in which i had to download windows 8.1 onto my computer. I did reinstall the sims 2 but now in create a sim the screen flickers when i zoom in and out and the room disapears when i zoom out and it shows the outside setting. I have attached my new dxdiag thing.
@mynameissstamara , ok the camera and graphics problems are due to not having the game properly recognize your graphics card because it is probably newer than when the game came out.
The easiest way to fix this is to download and use Graphics Rule Maker to edit your Graphics Rule.sgr file. You'll need to Google search to find the program itself and you can find additional help from Leefish's forum as well. Also Google search to find it as well.
@mynameissstamara , oh I had one of my friends who also helps out here on AHQ look at your DxDiag and apparently you need to check your USB drivers as many of your errors relate to your drivers being not powerful enough. Again, Google search on how to do this as I have no idea personally and would advise you to find either a YouTube video on the subject or step by step instructions.
@Tremayne4260 Yeah I have a problem with the front USB ports and was advised to go to a local technician , thank you anyways. I have seen a huge improvement in the game and it looks better, although i get this random glitch when the sims hair turns black and white and the world looks like the template of an oven. Scared the sims out of me 😅
@mynameissstamara , if it's the ports themselves, then yes, you should go see a local computer repair technician or shop.
In regards to the glitch, is it a CC hair or one of the ones within the game?

Within the game. I was just playing the game and all of the sudden one of my characters with cornrow hair had this black and white glitch. I could not take a photo or screenshot because it did not save. and when i zoomed out of the world it turned black and white and it was the outline of an oven. Creeped me out a bit and i haven't played it all day because of it.@mynameissstamara , try to start another game in the same neighborhood and see if it happens again. Just trying to narrow down the problem. 🙂
- @Tremayne4260 It still kind of does it.
@mynameissstamara , do you have any CC or mods in your game? One of these could be outdated and causing these glitches.
I don’t use cc or mods
@mynameissstamara , ok try this as I want to reset the game to vanilla state. Don't worry your saved games will be safe with what I am going to have you do. Locate your Sims 2 folder (found Documents > EA Games > Sims 2) and move this folder to your Desktop. Do not copy and paste or create a short cut. Actually move the folder to your Desktop. This folder is where your saved games are stored. Next start up the game and allow time for a new folder to generate. Once you see the neighborhood screen pop up, start a new game and play for about an hour or so to see if the glitch happens again.
Please keep me updated.
- @Tremayne4260 thank you, it works now
@mynameissstamara , wonderful! 🙂
