Maxis Clothes losing textures!

[twistingsims]

My sims are sometimes showing up with their maxis clothes meshes but not textures!  Instead of the regular textures, their meshes are only showing the codes, letters and symbols, instead.  Is my graphic card going on me?

It's not your video card. Somewhere, somehow, your textures corrupted themselves. I had it happen to the darkest Maxis skintone for babies, toddlers, and kids. I re-installed the game and everything went back to normal again. You could also try copying just the files you need from the CD to your folder. It would be quicker than re-installing, but I don't know if it will work.

Try replacing the objects.package file:

thank you all very much for your answers, at the present time, after cleaning up my hard drive of temp files and doing another defragment, its seems to be okay for now.  Of course if I do see that again, I will definitely be refreshing the objects.package file. 

Im just very glad its not my video card yet!

Defragmenting is not going to fix broken textures, but it won't do any harm.
