Problem
Sims have black rectangles around their feet instead of shadows.
Cause
This is caused by driver updates. Both nVidia GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards are affected.
Solution
Install the last version of graphics drivers which worked for you.
If you have a nVidia graphics card, go to guru3d.com to install the 327 drivers (or select an older version if you like).
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.
