The sims 1 bug

I have an issue with sims 1. 
It started on the launch of sims 1 re-release and its still there.
I can open the game with no problems, the view on the map and making sims works but when i move sims into the house, there is a problem with the house and surroundings. The walls and furniture dont load. When i slide the cursor for example at the chair, the chair shows up for 2 seconds and then its invisible again. On the map preview the bugged estate is visible. I only found two other people besides me with this bug. From what I saw thats an issue on lenovo devices.

    june15094  Are you seeing this issue, or something else?  Regardless, you can update the Nvidia graphics driver, which is a few years old.  Go here:

    https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/

    Select GeForce, GTX 900M series, GeForce 940MX, Windows 10, and download the Game Ready Driver.  Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.

    The Intel graphics driver is even older, but your laptop shouldn't be using it when running Sims 1.

    EKBoston76  If you still need help, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
