I have installed the sims 2 on my windows vista computer and the sim graphics are terrible. What's weird is on another user on the same computer, they were fine! There are no holes like I've heard others complain about, in my case the sims are just blurry. I seem to have all the neccessary memory etc so I don't know what's the problem! I also installed it onto a windows 7 computer and it had the same problem! Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do??

Have you applied the latest patch for the game and video card?There have been blurry walls and floor issues in SIm 2 PC, but it occurred due to unsupported video card issues.If your blurry graphics issue occurs on only one of the accounts, you should try it on the Administrator account to see how the game would display graphics.If the problem persists on Administrator account, run DXDiag.exe from Start -> Run and send it to EA's customer support along with the DXDiag.txt file.Here are the supported video cards for Sim 2 PC.* ATI Radeon(TM) series 8500 or better (9600 or greater required forVista)* 8500, All-In-Wonder 8500* 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800* X300, X600, x700, X800, x850* X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950NVIDIA(R) Quadro(TM) seriesQuadro, Quadro2, Quadro4NVIDIA GeForce series GeForce2 GTS and better(GeForce 6600 or greater required for Vista)# GeForce 2, 2 GTS# GeForce 3, 3 Ti# GeForce 4, 4 Ti, 4200, 4600, 4800, MX 420, 440, 460# GeForce FX 5200, 5500, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 5950# GeForce PCX 5300, 5900# GeForce 6200, 6600, 6800# GeForce 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 7950 (Or better)# GeForce 8300, 8500, 8600, 8700, 8800# GeForce 8400M GS, 8600M GS/GT, 8700M GT (Or higher)# S3 GammaChrome# S18 Pro# S18 Ultra Intel(R) Extreme Graphics (see note below)82865, 82915 and aboveNOTE: If you have a non-T&L capable video card, such as Intel Extreme Graphics, then you need at least a 2.4 GHz processor.
