Sims 3 Screen Tearing

I just started a new account today on here, so I'm not able/can't figure out how to create threads so I'll have to post this here.

I have been having serious problems with The Sims 3 and it seems like my two options are either play smoothly with screen tearing or play a laggy mess with no screen tearing.

I just got a brand new Dell G3 laptop for Christmas with these specs:

Intel i7 8750H processor (2.20 GHz hexacore, with turbo boost up to 4.1 GHz)
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile GPU
Integrated Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630
48 or 60 Hz refresh rate options

The only CC and Mods I have installed are:
- cmar XCAS Full core mod
-8 tattoos
-1 beard

Only using 3 expansion packs at the moment (though I do have 5, but it's laggy when I use all 5):
-World Adventures
-Pets
-High-End Loft Stuff

Here is everything I tried:

-Installed every Dell update my laptop has notified me of
-Installed every NVIDIA update my laptop has notified me of
-With and without CC, Mods, and expansion packs/stuff packs

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the game through Origin (No disk drive on this laptop)
I have also repaired the game through Origin

I did make 100% sure The Sims 3 is using the NVIDIA GPU and made sure that it recognizes it as well in the "DeviceConfig.log" file.

NVIDIA Inspector:
-V-sync on and off (adaptive and standard)
-Fast sync on and off
-Verticle Sync AFR behavior on and off
-Triple buffering on and off
-Threaded optimization on and off
-Frame limiter v2 (45 - 48 on 48 and 60 Hz in-game and refresh rate as well as default in-game) and (50 - 62 Hz on 48 and 60 Hz in-game and refresh rate as well as default in-game)
-Frame limiter (43.9 - 50.2 on 48 and 60 Hz in-game and refresh rate as well as default in-game) and (50.2 - 62.8 on 48 and 60 Hz in-game and refresh rate as well as default in-game)
-Power Management Mode on "Prefer Maximum Performance" and "Optimal Power"
-*Never turned GSYNC off*

I have tried with every possible combination of these settings and I've also tried as close as I can get to the same settings on MSI Afterburner as well (Still, every possible combination of these on MSI also).

I have also tried everything I can with the stock NVIDIA Control Panel as well.

Whether I choose 48 or 60 Hz in-game, it still tears and when I choose "Default" with a lower frame rate, it lags horrendously, and when I try "Default" at the correct frame rate, it still tears.

I'm seriously stumped as to what could possible be the problem, considering I've tried every possible combination. If I don't use the frame limiter, the game runs fine and decently smooth with no tearing, however, my fps runs 130 - 300 and I'm not trying to burn out my GPU, as I have a laptop and it's not replaceable.

The screen tearing, I will say, is minimal. It's really only like a 2 cm glitched line at the bottom that gets covered by the objects window in build mode, but it's still bothersome during gameplay.

I've tried installing CRU to change my laptop's screen resolution, but couldn't figure out how to use it correctly, but I hardly think that's an issue, considering my "Graphics Settings" say my monitor is at 60 Hz (not 59 like some people have had) and it still has the issue, even when I set it to 48 Hz and adjust the FPS limiter respectively.

Also keep in mind that I do also have this issue in The Sims 4 when I have V-Sync AND FPS limiter on at the same time, but NOT when I have one or the other on. With V-Sync on with NVIDIA Inspector and in-game, The Sims 4 runs great. The problem is mainly only on The Sims 3.

Does anyone have any other possible options?

Sorry, there were a few things I forgot to add.

I only use the Origin version of The Sims 3 (which I know is TS3.exe, TS3W.exe is for the CD-ROM version only), but NVIDIA Control Panel and NVIDIA Inspector include all .exe files attached to The Sims 3

I know it's not my GPU because like I said, The Sims 4 works just fine.

@igazor Yes, every time I set the FPS limiter, the game was able to stay consistent, with the odd exception of edge-scrolling left, which seems to, for some reason, be more demanding than any other direction. I also set my compatibility mode to Windows XP service pack 2 and 3, as well as Windows 7 and 8 to see if that made a difference, and it did not. I have not tried Windows Borderless yet, but I will try it now and let you know.

@igazor Before I try, should I set GSYNC - Application Mode to "Fullscreen and Windowed"? Or keep it default at "Fullscreen"?

@Studer5544 - I would suggest undoing the compat settings. They usually tend to cause more problems than they solve with games like TS3, they are really most relevant for simpler, Office types of applications.

Afraid I have no experience with GSync, you're way ahead of me there. Logic dictates try Windowed first since Windowed Borderless is really windowed mode functionally but tricked out to kind of look like full screen.

I tried windowed mode and there's no tear! Unfortunately, now, since I set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 (resolution of my monitor), the game appears zoomed in. Could that be because Windows 10 recommends 125% zoom by default?

@igazor My bad for blowing up this thread lmao. Now, i have a different problem. I have V-Sync and triple buffering off now, and the game still maintains FPS, but now when I go into build mode/live mode in an actual lot, the FPS shoots down to 51 - 57 and sometimes hits 60, but in the Edit Town, it stays constantly at 60. Even with V-Sync and triple buffering on, it does the same thing even though it stays at a constant 60 in Full screen. I tried 68 FPS and it stayed at around 63-65, but at 63 FPS it continues to drop into the 50s, only sometimes going to 60. I swear, this game is nothing but problems lol
