Overview

Some minor issues that have been occurring that are related to graphics.


Boxy or Blocky Graphics

There have been reports from players with ATI Radeon graphics cards experiencing graphics issues, such as boxy or blocky graphics. To fix this graphics issue, follow the steps below:

  • Click on the 'Start' menu on the Windows Taskbar.
  • Go to 'Programs,' then select 'Catalyst Control Center.' This program should be the ATI Driver program, also accessible from your System Tray (where the computer clock is displayed).
  • From your Catalyst Control Center, make sure you uncheck the 'Enable Adaptive Antialiasing' option under '3D Settings.'

Strange Graphics Viewing Lots

Some issues occur when viewing a lot or zoomed out viewing multiple lots with an ATI Graphics Card. This can be corrected by using the option Restore to Factory Defaults.

Gaps in Walls in Build Mode

Many users have experienced gaps along edges, corners, and other anomalies with walls when in Build Mode. Note that this is just a rendering issue and not a gameplay issue. It is also easily corrected by placing a door on one of the walls. Even if you remove the door, the walls will no longer appear with the strange gaps.

Black Ceilings in Camera Mode

Since custom ceilings were introduced, users who tried to take pictures of a house they were uploading noticed that ceilings turned black.
