So what happened was, every time I look into the Options menu, every setting from graphics Age Audio Etc is reset, it always reset back to 1 including Age View I think this has to do with a mod I do...

    @Lan8991  From the deviceconfig, it looks like the game can't read your hardware at all.  Have you tried to add you graphics card to the game's .sgr files?  Doing so incorrectly, even adding a stray comma somewhere, could produce this effect.

    Please let me know what kind of install you have: Origin, disc, Steam, or something else.  Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    And again, please let me know how the game looks in a clean user folder.  It's helpful information even if you want to add your mods back later.

    The scripterrors are reports from a mod, perhaps NRaas ErrorTrap, about issues that have been identified and hopefully addressed.  It's not necessary to save those files unless you're seeing crashes in-game or repeated errors about the same sim.  NRaas mods wouldn't cause the graphics issues.

I forgot one thing to mention

That is how the game looks whenever I Zoom Out

and this is what my deviceconfig.log looks like

Quick Note: the game doesn't looks as Dark as what the screenshot shows, it always turn darker when I took it from Window+G(Xbox capture thing)

Another Note: i recheck my Document The sims 3 files, and saw this ScriptError_MyLaptop__08-27-2021__00-13-48__53CAA043, I remember saw a lot of these just several hours ago and deleted all of them

    Turns out that was the problem, I forgot to "Install" the graphics card list
    now that I've downloaded them, it fixes all the problems i had
    and if my memory serves me right, i did the same thing a year ago and didn't do it this time.
    But anyway,the problem is solves, and thanks
