A few weeks back I noticed a problem I was having with the Sims, I don't know what happened, I was trying to install mods or some shit. So I just left it, and stopped playing, and then, I came back to it today, and the graphics were fucked. This is what I saw...

Any ideas? inb4 reinstall, already done that.
This thread is hilarious, but I have your answer.
This happened to me in TS2, the red means that your graphics card simply isn't up to the task of running the game properly. Try updating/getting a new one.
