The Sims 3

[sarahrules107]

I have a graphics glitch on the Sims 3. When I zoom in enough the graphics on the sims are fine. However, when I zoom out the graphics only on the sims do not appear correctly. Can someone please tell me how to fix this issue? Thank you. mileyhappy:

My son has your card on his laptop. He cant play the newer ep's if he does not to install all of them.

Your card is listed here with yes it can play some and also a few of Maybe. And these are with older patches

http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements

I would try lowering your graphics for one and leaving it on Medium since we now have higher patches. I played on my old A10 AMD on med. My son plays his on Med. I did not have all ep's installed on my AMD.

How many EPs do you have installed and which ones? If you have all the newer ones Pets, Island Paradise, Into The Future, Seasons. Yor computer may not handle all of them causing graphic issues

 It also states your driver has not been updated since 2012 so you want to update your video card.

Use this for dirver update

http://www.official-drivers.com/installer/?seed=ati&act=update&desc=Latest&gclid=CO38lt27_74CFYqXOgo...

Step One choose Notebood graphics

Sept Two choose Radeon HD series

Step 3 search drivers put 7660d and your driver update will show up click on it and update your graphics card

Do you have any 3rd party custom content or Mods?

Mac or PC?

If PC What kind video card do you have? This game requires certain video cards besides other requirements to play the game

[sarahrules107]

I use a PC. But, I don't know what kind of video card I have. How do you find that out?

[sarahrules107]

And no I don't have any mods or custom content but I do have expansions.

Im going to need you to post a DxDiag. To gather a Dxdiag on your computer windows key + R Key . This will open your run box. type dxdiag, hit ok ,let it load and save a copy to desktop. Post the whole report here. Yes it is a long report and you will have to do this in several posts.

For now if you want just post me the beginning where it lists your operating system, CPU and video card into which is all listed above the auto drivers. Your OS, CPU and video card are at the beginning of the report
