The reason why it goes pink is because of a few different reasons, so we'll have to work through them until we find the one that belongs to your system.
1. Your Video Card isn't listed in the Video Cards.sgr. For Ultimate Collection this can cause Pink flashing.
Download VideoCard
2. Your graphics driver for your graphics card is having problems. Sometimes this is because it needs to be updated, sometimes it needs to be rolled back. NVidia drivers have just been updated, so I'd go with the updating.
3. Sometimes your graphic driver is having problems because you have too much CC in game so you're making it work too hard. Check how much you do have. If it's over 8-10G. That may be a problem.
The way to test for this is to
a. set up a vanilla game hood, and just put your custom doors and windows in it. Does it flash? No. Then the problem is not the doors and windows themselves.
b. Go back to your normal game and pull-out half your CC temporarily. Does it flash? No. Then it is probably too much CC.
If it is this problem, you've got a long work ahead of you reducing the amount of CC that you have.
4. If the problem is confined to one lot or one hood, then it's a corruption in that lot or hood.
For this one - try Mootildas hood fixer. But be prepared to ditch the lot/hood if it doesn't work.

@celebkiriedhel - sorry, thought it would be helpful if anything else fails. I guess I'll just stick to my problem then lmao
@Caesum - no worries - just save it until after I've had a go and failed, that's all.

Hi. When you are talking about your boyfriend's PC - do you have the disks or digital download?
To be able to help you - I need the following information:
1. The type of PC your boyfriend has - what O/S and what specs.
2. Sims 2 - do you have the disks or digital downloads? Are you going with Ultimate Collection?
3. the dxdiag.txt - do you know how to run this?
There are a few things we can work through together that may solve this problem.

Hello again!
Solved the problem!, the problem was a mixture of things:
1- the last driver of nvidia not working well in my notebook, I'm using one of 2008.
2- the doors and windows created by me, were corrupt.
Everything seems to work fine for now, thank you very much for your help!!!

Hi Kiri, I'm still getting the 'DirectX9.0c' error and the game not starting at all. I've tried both NVidia fixes but neither seems to work. I've attached my config-log.
