I have been playing Sims since it came out a bajillion years ago, but only this year bought and installed Apartment Life.
I very much dislike the view you now get when you hover over a household in the neighborhood. We used to have a full body group picture of everyone, which helped me remember who was who. Now I get only little head icons and I absolutely hate it. Is there a mod to revert this? I really want the old view back!
Thank you!

Click the 'i' button.

Not sure if you need help with it or not, but the graphics in the second picture ("hay" terrain and choppy water) look like the graphic card isn't being read properly, and/or Graphic Rules hasn't been set up.

What's with the disgusting graphics around your neighborhood?

Here's a guide to fixing this problem:

Good gourd I swear I am not stupid 🤦‍♀️And I SWEAR I hit that first try. Wth.
Thank you!

Hehe, it's infuriating, isn't it? I can never remember how things work in the game if I've been away for a while!

Why you got to be so rude about it?

If something is wrong, then I apologize.
