Black boxes around Sims 2 characters. - psychospacecow - 10-17-2015
I found my Sims 2 Ultimate and installed it on my computer. I got the fix so that it can run max settings in a proper resolution, but for some reason the game is still giving me these strange black boxes related to shadows, even when I have them turned off. Any ideas?
I know its related to shadows because this articles recommended changing the settings of them (which didn't work for me.)

I also tried a suggestion in the comments that supposedly works that said
"
Search for "boolProp simShadows true" (using ctrl+F), and change "true" to "false". This will eliminate black squares, and all other shadows will still be activated
"

Did you try using that boolProp cheat in game? Sometimes the game won't accept those kind of changes unless it's through the game's cheat menu.
Also, try ModTheSims2.com; they might have some mods that will help you with that as well.

The boolProp cheat worked.
