First thing I noticed is that all sims look super skinny from far away, and then you move the camera closer or zoom in and...BAM! all of their fat appears. this might be a graphics issue but i don't know what the cause of it is. This also happened with my pregnant sims belly, and her formal outfit. Her legs looked like sticks from far away, but if I zoomed in, they looked normal.
Draw Distance is linked to how much informationg gets rendered based on how far away the object is. Normally, the farther an object is and the lower the Draw Distance is set, the less it gets rendered. Sometimes if it is really small, like a Sim WAY out in the distance, the game won't even bother rendering it if the setting is low enough. Those really nice vista shots you see sometimes when they advertise the games like Late Night? Those are done when a graphics card can support the Draw Distance at max setting, because it can process that much information at once/live.
Can you supply an image of the skirt from Late Night?
One of the late night skirts was messed up as well, and made my Sim's legs look funny, and the side of the skirt was like cut off.
