When I load sims, place marker-like objects appear in the place of the tree graphics on the neighboorhood screen.
When this happens, a white 3D card like object appears with text of the object name appearing through out the 5-6 cards marking where this object would be.
As well as that, our game crashes when creating a new sim or lot...crashed before a reformat 30-40 minutes into every game...the other problems only started after reformatting my PC
Our graphics card is relatively new and above the minimum requirements... Our software that is required to run the game is all updated and right...
