Game Help:Minor Graphic Issues

Overview
Some minor issues that have been occurring that are related to graphics.
Boxy or Blocky Graphics
There have been reports from players with ATI Radeon graphics cards experiencing graphics issues, such as boxy or blocky graphics. To fix this graphics issue, follow the steps below:
- Click on the 'Start' menu on the Windows Taskbar.
- Go to 'Programs,' then select 'Catalyst Control Center.' This program should be the ATI Driver program, also accessible from your System Tray (where the computer clock is displayed).
- From your Catalyst Control Center, make sure you uncheck the 'Enable Adaptive Antialiasing' option under '3D Settings.'

NOTE: boxy or blocky graphics can be caused by reducing some setting in options and not restarting the game as recommended.
Strange Graphics Viewing Lots
Some issues occur when viewing a lot or zoomed out viewing multiple lots with an ATI Graphics Card. This can be corrected by using the option Restore to Factory Defaults.
- Open Catalyst Control Center
- At the top right of the window, you will see "Options", click on Options
- Move down to Preferences, another menu will show up
- At the bottom of that menu click on "Restore Factory Defaults"
- A popup will ask you to confirm, click on Yes
- Once it's finished (a second or two) close Catalyst Control Center
That's it, you should now be able to start the game and the graphics issue should be gone.

Gaps in Walls in Build Mode
Many users have experienced gaps along edges, corners, and other anomalies with walls when in Build Mode. Note that this is just a rendering issue and not a gameplay issue. It is also easily corrected by placing a door on one of the walls. Even if you remove the door, the walls will no longer appear with the strange gaps.

Black Ceilings in Camera Mode
Since custom ceilings were introduced, users who tried to take pictures of a house they were uploading noticed that ceilings turned black.
