Sims 3 Neighbourhoods Textures Glitched

My 'Sims 3' worlds/neighbourhoods (currently it's Appaloosa Plains) have their textures acting up, replacing grass with this weird looking "dirt" texture but when I go into map view it looks like normal grass. (see photos), Does anyone know how to fix this, I've looked everywhere online and I can't find a solution? I'm a Mac player with the new 64-bit upgrade.

    I ended up messing around with the settings and I eventually turned on "Enable Advanced Rendering" and that fixed it, earlier I tried to turn my settings higher but that just made my game a laggy disaster. It's all fixed now with minimal lag. Thank you for helping me! 🙂

    After upgrading to 64-bit my settings were at the lowest and I have most of the settings medium or low to the point where my game is playable. This "grass" texture mishap is also happening in every other world/neighbourhood. I have no antivirus running.
