@TheSuperWolf100  You will have to edit the .sgr files in the Sims 3 core files. Here is a link for how to do this - how to get sims 3 to recognize unknown video card  Make a backup of the files before you edit them.

Mate i tried it The R series an't supported and i also got screen tearing :/

@TheSuperWolf100 You have to edit the files to make the game support the AMD (ATI) R series. Do you get found 1, matched 1?  Tearing is usually cured by graphic adapter settings. Do you have double buffering enabled?

i don't have buffering enabled  i get found 1 match 0

Can't figure out how to match my Radeon :/ http://imgur.com/a/X3Odk i see lots of HD

@TheSuperWolf100  The HD series are older cards - you have to create or edit an existing entry to/for the newer class of cards. Then add that class to the rules file. To properly do this you will need data from the dxdiag tool and some knowledge of the video card performance - I would guess your card would be uber but could be high (IDK). I would have to do some research.
