Well I picked a default family to just try it out real quick, is it supposed to be grainy like this when I don't move the camera around? I've tried reinstalling the game but it didn't work, any tips?
No, it's definitely not supposed to look like that at any point in the game. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Does your graphics card meet the minimum requirements?
My sims 2 is jacked up al well. When i go neighborhood veiw it shows a hudge veiw of the face of person where the house is. lol but yours shouldnt look like that.
