@EvilPicnic You've got the texture problem in NVidia. I have a card for you that will fix it - I've attached it to the first post - it's called Graphic Rules - Nvidia - TextureFix.

That should sort out your problems.
You also need to ATTACH your config-log.txt to the post, rather than copy and paste. What you've posted is not generally enough to work out what the problem is. Fortunately for you, it might be. If this doesn't fix it, please attach the full config-log.txt.

Perfect. That has taken.
Name (driver): Intel® HD Graphics 4000
Name (database): Intel® HD Graphics 4000

OK. As I recall, you were having problems with crashing going into a lot?
Does that occur with the Video Card in?

@Simmerfan28 Your CPU is under 3 MHZ so that puts it in the medium - Sims2 graphic rules doesn't recognise quad core. However there's a card for that on page 1 - Intel -Med CPU that will give you high settings.

Unfortunately no Simmerfan. I've tried to get in contact with the maker of the Graphic Rules - but unless I'm on twitter he's almost impossible to get in contact with.

Oh and what do you mean it will give me high settings?
