I've found no other threads with problems like mine.

I've also tried restarting my computer.

I've tried starting a new game in twinbrook, the most basic world with the most basic sims.  All 3-D content is glitchy.  However, menus (such as create a sim menu), the openning video, and other non-3-D graphics are unaffected.

I'm in the process of figuring out how to upload or link a picture to show you what it looks like.

I've had a glitch like this once before from custom content, but I did not upload custom content lately, and as I've mentioned, these glitches prevail even when I load the game with CC disabled.  Therefore I've concluded that it's not caused by CC.
