Graphics Problem : Sims Medieval Pirates and Nobles. [SOLVED]

First of all, I have searched the topics before posting. I thought I had found what was wrong but in the end it didn't help.

The scenario:

I downloaded the Sims Medieval from here when it first came out and I've never had any problems. Today I downloaded the expansion, also from here. When I play the game, and get past the ambition screen everything is brown. You can make out the click-able "bubbles" for all the building hubs but everything else is just brown.

At first I thought it was an error in how I had downloaded or cracked the games. I found a thread that told someone to uninstall everything, then install the base game without cracking and also the expansion, then update and THEN crack with the latest fix.

I did this thinking it would help but when I went back in game everything was the same. I thought perhaps it would go away if I actually decided to do a quest. On starting a quest it shows the building my sim is in but nothing else, no hills or background, trees or anything just brown

What is wrong with my game? I can't figure out what I have done wrong!! Please help

I went and updated my driver and its still the same

Yes that's what I found so strange. I might uninstall everything and try playing with the base game to see - then we can rule out that its that.

But yes I will try the options, I already play in windowed mode - it's just strange because my computer is quite high spec.


EDIT: It seems to be fixed. I changed the resolution and for some reason that seems to have done it. It now works in windowed and normal mode as long as the resolution is higher.

Thanks for all the help

Mod edit: Problem solved, topic closed.
