EA put today in the official site the first patch por Family Fun Stuff however this patch "only" repair many bugs (the nanny and the fix objects) and my walls continue red ... if I uninstall the Family Fun and continue with the game and expansions I will play normally with Open for Business and the game look excelent (my graphic card are update the last month).

Please, any idea if maxis will prepare a new patch or any action that I will realize to give a solution?... I don't play with this conditions

thekaishi, the problem is caused by not having a supported video card (and the video card requirements have been the same for each game). It's likely that Maxis will not fix that problem since your system is below the minimum requirements as it is.

Also, this is not technical support. Make your own thread instead of hijacking mine.

but I'm just basing my information on past posts people have made and I've had the same video card since this game came out (Nvidia GeForce 5900XT 128megs) so I've never had the problem. They've had this problem previously with neighborhood terrain, and a few other things before.



I've never had a problem with my walls being red until FFP and I got a nasty surprise when I tried to play my OFB family, a maxis family in a maxis home. I have no custom content in my game either. So I highly doubt it's a video card issue. Why would it suddenly show up for FFP and not all the rest?

Does this apply also to a laptop such as an Inspiron 1000? I don't know if my laptop has a video card, or if the type you have (if available where I live) is compatible with it.
