Check if Advanced Rendering is turned on: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/05/how-to-turn-on-advanced-rendering.html
Hey, so yes its turned on. also I went on the chat and talked to someone for hours but still didnt find a solution. so i uninstalled my games. updated my graphic card drivers for a second time and reinstalled the game. it finally worked😕mileyvery-happy:. so i installed my two expansions, started the game, all the clothes and textures were blurry (again 😕mileysad🙂 ... so now im thinking maybe its my expansions that are not working correctly or the updates. so im trying to install only the base game.

Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?
To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/td-p/1049584/ I talked to another advisor on the chat and he told me I needed to update my drivers. Which I already did. But when I sent him the dxdiag report it shows that my drivers were not updated since 2013. So he says that its probably my graphic card that wont update.

Your graphics drivers are from 2013. Are you sure there are no newer ones ?
Yes there are new ones on AMD website. I downloaded Catalyst but the advisor on the chat told me its probably my graphic card drivers that doesnt want to update or take the update.
- crinrict11 years agoHero+
Then try uninstalling the ones you have and then try installing the new ones..
