Title: Shadow Glitch - Fixed!
Post by: Fubuki on 2008 March 01, 08:17:04
As far as glitches go, I am grateful that this is one of the few things I've had to deal with so far. *knocks on wood* However, it's still annoying the shit out of me. I just want to be able to take a picture of my Sim eating a bag of chips without this ugly shadow popping out of it...

Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 2)

I have a shadow fix for this, it says it's by Simscorner but I can't find where I downloaded it from! Do you can get it here if you like:
