Hello everyone!
I can't find words to say how sorry I am to have to open another post for the same problem of everyone: the infamous pink flashing!
I know the issue was discussed in several posts, and I think I read all of them and tried almost everything (or at least was I was able to try without risking to mess my machine) but still I could not solve this problem. Is for this reason I kindly ask you help (if possible, but I suspect my case is beyond help) and/or suggestion.
This is my case:
I bought a new laptop (damned me!) and I could not manage to play properly with the Sims 2. My old machine was a 10 years old computer, which I suspect was better to play with the Sims 2 (despite I had some problems too), but I had to change it.
The specs of my new machine are attacched in my DxDiag file.
My config log attached.
This is the problem: I was able to install the sims 2 and expansions on windows 10 (following some trick I fonud online) and the game runs very good (despite the default and only resolution available was 800x600, but I changed it from the graphicrules.sgr).
when I put my old game backup and wanted to play, the disaster begun: entering in the neighborhood everythin was pink flashing: trees and water.
Tried to apply the 4 gb patch (the max I could reach was to grow up ram from 1gb to 2 gb...not the promised 4 gb). Changed the videocard.sgr and graphicrules.sgr adding my graphic card, resolution and texture memory. When entered the game again there was not immediate flashing in the neighborhood but it begun after some minutes playing, followed by sudden crashing.
I can imagine my custom content is too much (11 gb), but I could play with the same amount of custom content in the old machine (pink flasginh and crashing did happen, but not immediatly, normally after some hours of game play, or did not happen at all in hours and hours...so it is strange to have this issue with a much better machine!)
Is there someone that can imagine why all the used methods (which seem to work for other persons) do not work for me? Is there something I did not do properly?
And finally: I am considering on changing my sistem to windows 7 (my old pc was windows 7)...Would it help? Because by now is the only thing I did not try.
