Sims 2, Font is Unreadable

[Skinny Angel]

I just installed Sims 2 into my MacBook

Open it up, and it looks like this:

& When I highlight the words it looks like this:

Any suggestions on why it's like that?
Thanks

Mine too

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that my Sims is doing the same thing. I have a Macbook Aluminum 2.0 Ghz. Also, the text looks like this as well in Fable - The Lost Chapters. Is this something to do with the new NVIDIA Card? I hope we are able to fix this. Really would like to play my games.
Thanks for any help

I'm having the exact same problem. And sometimes I can't highlight stuff, so I just kinda have to guess. It's really frustrating. Has anyone been able to fix this?

It's definitely a problem with the graphics card. Are all software updates installed?

If you have a unibody MBP, what happens when you change graphics cards?

If you are using a WhiteBook, it was definitely not designed for gaming. The graphics card is crap.

It might have something to do with Cider.

It might have something to do with Cider.

Is he using the Mac edition, or the Windows edition in Cider?

OK I found an update and it fixed the problem! Just to clarify I am running the Mac edition--I've never even used Cider.

So if anyone is having this problem the update is here:

Be sure to download "Sims2ComboDec2007", since that will take care of any combos apparently, and when I downloaded a different file it wouldn't update the game app.

maclover001, thankfully I don't do a lot of gaming... I just wanna play the Sims.
