blinking red/black walls
« on: 2006 June 29, 09:47:55 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

well i bought ffs a few days ago (why?! agh) and thought everything was going to be all great because i could have a jellyfish lamp. well it wasnt. why? because all my walls were blinking red and black (it looked really cool actually but when i uninstalled i lost the video of it Undecided) and most of my objects were pitch black. since ive uninstalled it, now my lots from n. view are blue with a blinking red outline (once in the lot its fine). anyone know what could have caused this mass blinking problem, is there a way i can have my dreams of jellyfish lamps again?

I couldn't understand that at all. ElfPuddle, translate!

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Lemme help out here.

Translation:

I bought and installed Family Fun Stuff without reading the system requirements all because I wanted Jellyfish lamps.

My Video Card sucks and I have the known issue with FFS of flashing walls

I made a video of the flashing walls with the ingame camera, but when I uninstalled FFS, it deleted the video.

Can this be fixed so I can have Jellyfish Lamps.

translation:

I bought a copy of the Family Fun Pack because the jellyfish lamp looked like an object I would like in my game.
After installation the walls flashed red and black so I uninstalled it and the lots in the neighbourhood view are now blue with a red outline.
Does anyone know what could have caused this potential BFBVFS and is there any way I can reinstall the FFP without losing my game?

Did you completely uninstall the Sims2 because if you just uninstall FFP (which behaves like an expansion pack) it removes some items from the game.
Did you make a back up of your game before installing FFP? If not then you will lose everything and have to install it from scratch.

ETA - Jorenne's translation is probably more accurate lol

How long is a piece of string? It would depend on your mainboard, your finances and where you buy the card from. Do you know what mainboard you have?

Technical translation:
I bought Family Fun Stuff a few days ago. (Why, I don't know. It frustrates me....but I wanted the jellyfish lamp). I ended up with blinking red and black walls, (which were cool, and I made a video of it...but lost the video when I uninstalled the game.) and most of my objects were pitch black. I've since uninstalled the game and now my lots in the neighborhood view only are blue with a blinking red outline. Does anyone know what caused the blinking problems? Can I retain my dreams of jellyfish lamps?

Non-awesome translation:
Despite all the warnings, I bought FFS. I had the infamous blinking issues, and so I got rid of it. Now my lots are screwy (see ElfPuddle's thread) and I need a new video card.

Sorry, JM, I was at class and didn't know I was needed. Thanks to my subs for filling in for me.

Dunno if it's good or bad, but I had no problem at all understanding the original post.  THe part of it I didn't understand was why anyone would pay for FFS, that will forever remain a mystery.

I have a really good laugh reading this thread. It amuses me how everyone adds in their own interpretations of why the guy bought FFP. And amidst the translations, added in the questions and answers for him...

I am so enjoying these translations. We really ought to have a thread for ElfPuddle to compile them. I am sure I would have fun reading them  Grin

Ahhhh...I thought you are a guy lol  Grin Sooorrry.

Oooo...Elfpuddle certainly deserves her own thread. How about starting one? *egging you on*
Doubt JM will kill you for it. He needs a translator. And we needs a space for your achievements. They are seriously good.

A word of advice: better change your graphics card if you are going to buy future EPs. This is because those EPs will follow the system specs of FFP.
