Please download adn install both of these:

Then restart your computer.

---------------

Also you have some a lot older drivers so I'm wondering what version of BIOS you have? It should probably display it along the bottom of the screen when you first start the computer. 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.1.4.. something like that.

[Antiseptic]

BIOS version : 1.0.16
:)
i has just installed those and restarted my computer

And the newest picture is as below:

[Night Racer]

it looks like the neighborhood lighting file is glitched...since the inside of your house isnt red except for highlights from windows... red is seeping in threw the windows...like light from the sun O-o

maybe if you try to replace the neighborhood lighting file? (unless hader32_winprecomp -IS- the lighting file...)

[Antiseptic]

Where's hader32_winprecomp??

[Night Racer]

Shader*
I copy-pasted what Tomclinton said since i wasn't gonna try to type it properly myself :P i just didn't highlight the S. sorry.

i've tried but that's not working :cry:
stilll in red lol

[Antiseptic]

are there anyone have any new idea of how to fixing it?

thanks

[SDC]

ok I had this problem and I discovered it was the actual resource file that was causing the problem, what i did to fix it was copying all my mods and resource file to exactly the same place in the sims world adventure folder as it was in the original sims 3 folder, hopfully this should work but cant garantee it tho... Now i just need to find out whats causing my blue lots lol

[Antiseptic]

i fixed it
actually i reinstall my sims3
i think there's maybe a crush at the very beginning i install the original sims3
as at that time i can't update my sims3 before the WA release and i was disappointed as i bought the collector edition
(but i can play normally in summer -so weird-)
anyhow, i have fun with my sim now
thanks you guys for helping me a lot
Here's some snapshots as a gift from my sim...
(He said he wanted to thank u guys for giving him a normal neighborhood)
lol :D
