Differences between CAS and ingame
Hello everyone, I have a fairly simple question. I'm currently playing my sims 3 game. in CAS the edges seem jagged (not anti aliased) while my anti aliasing setting is put on High. Ingame there...

I'm not so sure framerate has much to do with jagged lines (edge smoothing) unless we are talking about screen tearing which is different.. But having vsync on is important to lock frames to your monitors refresh rate. Info for that here under spolier:

If you already tried control panel and it didn't work, try Nvidia Inspector.
Download & Install Nvidia Inspector
Look for the small tool icon or green symbol next to Driver Version. Click to launch Nvidia Profile Inspector.

Select Profiles at the top and scroll through the long list to find Sims 3.

Under Sync and Refresh, select Vertical Sync > Force On
In windowed mode you may have to add an additional setting. Frame Rate Limiter > 60 fps *This number should reflect your own refresh rate so be sure to double check what yours is.

Apply Changes top right corner.
Track FPS in-game with the cheat fps on. Small text will appear in the corner and it should be capped at whatever your screens refresh rate is. Frame drops are normal but the goal is to not go over that number. Nvidia Inspector does not require fullscreen mode but if the frames aren't capping, you can try the additional setting under Sync and Refresh setting Frame Rate Limiter to whatever your screens refresh rate is.
@Jean Are you playing in Fullscreen mode? Try Fullscreen mode. What resolution are you playing in? You may need to check if graphics driver is up to date or roll back if this started after updating recently.
As for using Nvidia Control Panel for anti-aliasing, it's overriding the in-game settings. You can try turning edge smoothing OFF in-game then relaunch the game. Sometimes the game has trouble allowing the override. It's strange that you would need the control panel to control this and I can't say it's normal but some have experienced this sort of thing before.

This method requires fullscreen mode in order to work.
