=Poor Graphics Quality After New EP Install=

When you first install Nightlife, your graphics may all be reset to the lowest setting.

This seems to be deliberate: Nightlife allows much more in the way of graphics, such as being able to see neighbours houses. Therefore, they have dropped all the graphics to the lowest to maintain compatibility and a good level of speed.

Solution:
* Click the options (3 dots at the bottom)
* Click the graphics options (monitor)
* Set the graphics to higher ones.

''Note: The higher the graphics, the more you show in terms of detail, the slower the game will run - especially on busy or large lots.''

* You should make sure you have the latest drivers installed on your computer. For information on graphic cards and drivers, please see: [[Game Help:Graphics Cards]].
