Hello everybody!
I made another post some time ago for a similar problem, so I excuse in advance should this one seem repetitive, but the problem I had is somehow "evolved".
I have a windows 10 machine,with 2 grapic cards, an intedrated Intel® UHD Graphics 630 and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
As I read here on leefish and as it was suggested to me in my previous post, it seems that windows 10+nvidia new cards are the worst combination to make the sims 2 work properly.
I have made some experiments myself to make them work: I installed the 4 gb patch, I use the stand by memory cleaner every 5 minutes, modified the video card and graphic rules file, set the groups chache and accesory cache as "read only".
After all this I have made some progress: I can play sometimes for 2 hours, sometimes for 30 minutes and sometimes even less. After a while the infamous pink flashing appears and then the game crashes.
I then tried to use the intel card: better on the side of crashing (despite that can be abstolutly random) but it gives me horrible graphic issues that I do not have with the other card.
some examples: black water in the ponds (!), custom hair shown as bold hair, and other minor things.
My question is: should I insist using my nvidia maybe with a dual boot machine (with windows7 or 8), does it worth to try, considering that I would have to pay a techique to do it (I do not trust myself as much as to risk my new laptop with self-made solutions) ? Or there is a way to solve the intel card issues?
I attach both my config file (nvidia one) and all things could be useful...maybe there is someone that can read what the problem is.
