Sims 3 missing textures+blurry worlds Help

@BrownNy13  First of all, how does the game rate your GPU, and your hardware overall?  Please go into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, open deviceconfig.log, copy the rating info near the top, and paste it here.  You'll see a couple lines that look like this:

=== Rating info ===
GPU: 5 GPU Memory: 4 CPU: 4 RAM: 4 CPU Speed: 3600 Threading: 3
Adjusted CPU: 4400 RAM: 16322 Adjusted RAM: 15810 Cores: 8

And please let me know what graphics settings you're using as well.

To the question itself, Sims 3 looks worse than it used to, at least sometimes.  At the end of last year, people started noticing that certain textures looked worse than they had previously, and after a lengthy debate and months of comparing screenshots and hoping updates would fix it, the tentative conclusion was that this was caused by a lack of dithering by the GPU, which used to disguise low-res textures but now shows them in all their striped messiness.  If you want a more thorough explanation, start reading here:

So I guess the question is, when did your game last look good?  If it's been a year or more, then maybe you just never saw the change until now.  I don't think it's your computer, although it's worth checking the rating info and graphics settings as above.  But as a comparison, this is what Monte Vista looks like for me, in 1080p on the default ultra graphics profile:

You should be able to open the link in a new page if you want a closer look.  Aside from the trees, mine looks a bit better than yours but not a lot, and I think the trees not rendering correctly is a side effect of the Seasons expansion, which I don't currently have installed.

So I guess my answer is, this may be what the game looks like now, at least in certain circumstances.  If you want to do a more thorough test, move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts, open the launcher to spawn a clean folder, don't add anything, and load a couple new saves to have a look around.  That way you'll know for sure whether anything in your current user data folder is causing any issues, and when you're done testing, you can trash the new folder and put the old one back like nothing happened.

Hi @puzzlezaddict , thanks for a response. Here are those lines from the device config. This my first time playing Sims 3 in years so im sure the textures did degenerate since then.

Do you have any ideas about the messed up object textures of the fridges?

My graphics settings are on high, except for the tree detail because I was trying to reduce lag

@BrownNy13  Your hardware ratings are fine, although you probably knew that already.  The fridges look the same in my game, although the more expensive ones look better.  I don't think there's a lot you can do, although maybe playing with some setting in the Nvidia Control Panel (right-click on your desktop and open it) might help.  I'm sorry I can't offer anything more specific, but I and others have tried every setting we can find and haven't seen any improvement.  Textures can look a bit different in fullscreen vs. windowed mode though, so be sure to try both.

What you could do, if you wanted to spend a bit more time, would be to recolor all the objects that looked bad.  Some patterns are fine, or at least good enough inside that it wouldn't bother most people.  You might also find some uncompressed texture custom content or patterns that you could download into your game and apply, although I wouldn't know where to look for those, other than maybe asking at Mod the Sims.

As for the lag, tree detail shouldn't cause any issues for your graphics card.  The two most demanding settings are water and high-detail lots; I keep those at "mirrors only" and 2, respectively, when I'm playing.  Even those wouldn't be an issue for your card, but the game engine itself can't really handle having those settings maxed out.

The much more important step is manually limiting your in-game framerates.  A 2060 Super is powerful enough to generate fps well into the hundreds, maybe higher in some worlds, which can cause lag, graphics glitches, and other unpleasant side effects.  More importantly, it's not good for the long-term health of your card.

To see your framerates, bring up the cheats console (crtl-shift-C) and enter "fps on" without quotes.  A number will appear in the upper right corner of the screen, and it should never go above the refresh rate of your monitor.  Let me know if you need help manually limiting fps, and if so, whether you play in fullscreen or windowed mode.

Wow! @puzzlezaddict those base game fridges look the same in your game too.

I play in fullscreen mode and I had my fps capped at 59. Then I monitored my fps in game and realized ,my game loves to have a lag spike to 39 at the lowest. So I went in my control panel and capped my fps at 39 and now the camera moves much better. What do you have your game capped at?

I also changed my reflections to mirrors only, thanks for the tip.
