I know flickering is a common problem with the Sims 2 UC on modern day laptops and desktops. Can anyone take me step by step on how to fix this problem?
I have a i5-5200U
Intel HD 5500 Graphics

Hi!
You should've posted this in The Sims 2 section since this one is for Sims 1.
For your flickering problem, there are 2 fixes:
For windows 7, 8 and 8.1:
Follow this tutorial:
http://www.simsnetwork.com/simpedia/the-sims-2/editions/the-sims-2/specials/graphics-rules-maker-improve-compatibility-with
For Windows 10:
Download this file:
http://www.simthing.net/cards/GraphicsRules-INTEL-MissingTexture.rar
Unpack it and place the unpacked file in these two locations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config\
And
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\CsConfig\
I recommend keeping a copy of the original files at these locations before overwriting them.

Yes you have to replace the files. Make a copy somewhere else of both files already in there, then overwrite them both with the file I provided.
