Default Was there ever a grid in Buy Mode?
Hello,

I just started playing Sims 2 again. Coming from Sims 3/4, it feels weird not having a grid in buy mode.

In build mode, the grid shows up fine. But once I put flooring it just disappears. Is that supposed to happen?

I tried the hide grid cheat (boolprop showfloorgrid true)

Here's a screenshot.



Also, I get a black square under sims. (Shadow issue?). How do I fix it? I think my graphics card combo is too new for Sims 2.

Specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 3612QM
Graphics: Intel HD 4000/ nVidia GT630m 2GB
RAM: 16GB

Thanks!

The grid should show on the grass in build or buy mode, it does not show on floor tile.

You can try putting shadows to medium and there is also a fix to try here: https://www.modthesims.info/d/569585
