    I don't know why all the houses in my town are doing this. I deleted all the new houses I downloaded because I thought that was the problem but nothing changed.

      That's weird. Did you have any cheats enabled when you built your lot? I know ConstrainFloorElevation false/off will make lots look like that sometimes. Try going into build mode and turning certain cheats on and off and deleting the parts of the house that look glitchy and rebuilding them. Turn roofs off or delete all roofs, go back to live game, and then go back and reinstall the roofs. Try that and see if that works.

      seannarae - Without getting technical what is happening is some part of the video picture is exceeding the capabilities of the video chip causing corruption in the video ram. I think the resolution of the item is higher then the video chip can process and the shaders don't know how to properly fill. This is what separates a $50 vid card from higher priced cards. If I was trouble shooting this problem the first thing I would try is a better video card.
