@isaetoilerina You're not being a bother at all. I partly wanted the deviceconfig to see your hardware, and partly to see your settings to I could try exactly the same ones in my own game. I didn't have time to test last night as I wanted, so I was going to do it today when I got a chance.
I will say that your graphics chip is below the minimum requirement for the 64-bit version of Sims 3. That doesn't mean you can't play, but you may see strange graphics effects, perhaps including this one. Snow is particularly demanding to render, as is rain. On the other hand, this could be more widespread and totally unrelated to your hardware. I've tested rain but not snow so far, and no one else has reported it, so I really have no idea at this point.
- 5 years ago@puzzlezaddict Gotcha! That makes sense... lol, my poor laptop is doing its best. I will tell you that rain appears perfectly normal in my game, and I haven't seen any crazy graphic effects... except the lack of snow, of course! I can live with it for now. Thank you for your input.

@isaetoilerina Sorry for the late reply. I meant to post here but just forgot over the weekend.
Anyway, I tested out your settings and saw basically the same thing you did. Enabling Advanced Rendering makes the lots' snow coverings much more nuanced though. Here's a screenshot, with the middle lot the only actively rendered one:
Other than Advanced Rendering and one setting that can't be changed within the options menu, I was using the same settings as you do.

Hi all,
this is also happening in my game. I've attached my deviceconfig log below.
Let me know if you need any other information.
Many thanks.
