Problem

Sims have black rectangles around their feet instead of shadows.

This is caused by driver updates. Both nVidia GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards are affected.

Install the last version of graphics drivers which worked for you.

If you have a nVidia graphics card, go to GeForce.com, enter your graphics card model, and then install the 327 drivers (or older).

If you have an AMD card, download and install the 13.4 drivers from MajorGeeks: Windows 7/8/Vista version or Windows XP version.

If you need more guidance on updating your graphics drivers, see Game Help:Graphics Cards#Graphics cards and Graphics Drivers.
