Sims 3 graphical issues

Hey all,

Recently I had to reinstall Windows and The Sims 3, upon getting the game reinstalled I started having 2 issues listed below.

Issue #1: The tool radius for the ground texture paint tool does not appear at all.

Issues #2: When using the hammer tool an explosion-style effect gets left behind and will only disappear if you go to a basement or below ground.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you fix it?

Any help to fix these bugs would be greatly appreciated.

See attached images for visuals of bugs etc.





Edit to attach my dxdiag information relevant to the system.
