White Flying Textures on lot after two days of playing, any help?

[blackninja]

Hey, so I just re-downloaded all the games and stuff packs and installed, and spent a couple days making a new house, then today when I opened the game there were big rectangular white texutres flying around the outside of my house.  Anyone know what this is caused from? Here is a picture. Any help would be appreciated.

How long has it been since you've updated your video card drivers?

Turns out Nvidia just put out an update on the 13th, the day of the occurance.  I downloaded the new drivers thinking that was the problem, installed them, restarted the computer, loaded up Sims 3 again, and the white spots where still there.  Thanks for the idea though, I did in fact need to update my drivers, it just didn't solve the problem.

Make sure you don't have any out dated effect mods, because I would assume those blocks are supposed to be some type of bird or bug or something.

It looks more like Ceilingtiles. Stuff like this happens when building with Constrainfloorelevation false.
It brakes the Grid. Use the cheat and put a floortile where the white stuff is and remove it. Should fix it.

The sledgehammer tool often works too.

These are definately ceiling tiles. I've had it happen in my own game before. The sledgehammer tool did nothing for me and the only way I found to fix it was to place foundation where the white blocks were and then delete them again. I assume the foundation forced the grid to level itself.
