I have tried what I believe to be everything to stop a graphics issue from occuring. I downloaded an updated driver for my graphics card, updated directx, and turned the games graphics down to minimum.

The game will run fine for about 30 minutes, then suddenly the sims in the game will seperate from their heads and their bodies turn into these wierd crystal looking things on almost the other side of the screen. (Please note that this graphics card on my laptop has run WoW and LOTRO with no problems)

Is there anyone who can help me figure this problem out. Right now when it happens I just save, quit the game, and restart for another 30 minutes of smooth running.

Thanks so much!

I've never heard of a problem like that before, sounds creepy lol. All I can think of is that maybe something else is running on your laptop in the background.

If I were you I'd contact the technical support team for the sims.
