The sims 3 generation cas catalogue drivers#
(I do run the graphics on medium to low settings, however, for smoother performance).įinally, here are a few of my system specs: my computer is a Dell Dimension E520, and is rather old, but it runs the game fine the operating System is Windows XP the Processor is an Intel Pentium D, and the computer has 3070 MB of RAM the card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT (512.0 MB) I checked the drivers and everything is up-to-date with the correct version. Is there any way I can fix this problem with my buy mode and CAS and have everything display correctly as it used to do before I generated a new Sims 3 folder to reorganize my content? What could be causing this display glitch? I thought at first it might have something to do with the graphics card, but it displays everything else fine, and Sims, textures and objects look good during game play. These hairs can still be selected for sims as normal, and the sim retains the hair style out of CAS (these particular hairs also show up as "installed" in the launcher, as do all the objects mentioned above) as well. The model also lacks eyelashes in these cases. The model is left bald, or with a receding hairline or with a very short hair style (like a buzz cut) which looks nothing the actual hair.
However, there are several hairs which do not show up properly. Some hairs show up just fine and look normal in the thumbnails. Here again, there are no custom hairs in at all - everything is EA (from the game and its EPs and SPs, or from the store). In CAS the problem is even more weird and random - all of the clothing shows up, but some of the hairs are strangely affected. Even though the objects are useable, I do hate to look at the catalogue though and see a number blank thumbnails (Plus it makes finding things difficult). The bug is random because all of the objects of the Regal set will show up and have pictures, except for the "Penelope" bed, which is blank all of the objects of the Halloween Treats set will show up, except the end table, everything from the Castle Interior set except for the tapestry, etc. I have tried clearing all cache files, deleting the contents of the thumbnails folder, uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling the objects and sets in question, but nothing makes any difference. Now it seems to be at random that several of the store objects have no pictures in their thumbnails, with only the green diamond showing up in the corner even though the rest of the set has proper thumbnails.
The only objects, clothes and hairs that are currently in it are from the store - in fact the Sims 3 Folder was newly generated by the game so I could reinstall all my sets in order and generally clean up and cull all my custom content in preparation for installing Generations (and I was simply cleaning it out because I had too much and it was quite cumbersome).
The sims 3 generation cas catalogue mods#
I should explain that this is pre-Generations game (I haven't installed the EP yet), and it is also a practically clean game which does not have any custom content (apart from a few mods like Twallan's and Awesomemod). Now, the objects are definitely all there because they can be selected with the cursor, placed with the hand tool and also recoloured. That is, most objects display the correct thumbnails, but a few are curiously empty. I'm having a situation where my game is not displaying all my Store objects in Buy Mode correctly.
