Sims looking awful when zoomed out + Graphics card

Hello,

I just reinstalled TS3 on my new laptop and everything is working fine except one thing. When I zoom out, my sims look awful, CC hair and clothes look weird, as if only part of it is loaded? I don't know if that makes sense. Even when my sim had in-game clothing, one of her feet was super skinny when zoomed out, as if her flesh for that foot hadn't loaded lol

I did get a pop up after installing that said the game didn't recognize my graphics card, so that may be it? How do I correct that? Or is it the Graphics settings in Options that I should tweak?

Thank you.

    What was the solution? And what was wrong with it? Might be good to know in case someone else encounters the same or similar problems, I mean.

    Sure.

    I downloaded the Nexus mod that makes the game recognize your graphic card, it’s called The Sims 3 GPU Add-on Support.
    And I also changed my graphics settings (maxing out Sim detail and Texture detail, Visual effects was already maxed out).

    I don’t know which of the two solved my problem tho, or if it was both since I launched the game after doing both and my sim looked good even when zoomed out.
