im having the same problem, i dont know what a graphics card is or owt but i have sims 3 fast lane, late night and i got pets today and installed it but when i went into create a sim i made a family and two horses and when i tried to make a dog it was all solid malti coloured, but i went into gameplay thinking it would be okay and my dog was still malti coloured so i thought, well i dont want a wierd dog and got my sims phone out and put up for adoption. when i looked back at my dog it was a deformed monster, it scared the life out of me, everything else is fine and the only other glitch i have ever had is with my sims, i cannot make my sims fat or skinny because they just get big gaps in their bodies, they go normal but only when i close my laptop and open it, but i have never really minded, but could this be related to this problem. i have done the first thing you said to do but i am too scared to go back on my game because the deformed creature is actually scaring me! its a real downer because i love sims 3 and was planning to get another expansion pack but at this rate i wont be even going on my game again ☹️ also i was planning on making a movie with sims 3 about this horse, im 13 and i write stories but really wanted to make a movie about a horse i writ a story about but now im scared its going to happen to my horses too, i havent checked cats yet.
hi melissa can you post your dxdiag the way crin showed with the blue link in the second post someone will look at it
okay here it is, i also just updated my game but havnt been on it since
