Sims 3 white lines
I’ve been playing sims 3 on my new laptop! It’s nvidia GeForce gtx 1650 but in the game, my furniture has white lines that flicker and those lines can be seen on clothes as well. I don’t know what to...

It’s not working- it wouldn’t let me uninstall the nvidia graphics driver, it wouldn’t let me download the fresh nvidia graphics driver and when I went to install the new intel graphics driver it said that the operating system is not working
@Bts152 Please post screenshots of the error(s) you see.
Hi! I've found a way to get rid of the lines but they only show up when the camera has zoomed out if you know what i mean. I had to turn on the antialiasing which did the trick for a bit
I am having the same problem with little white lines on objects, sims and buildings. They’re really annoying and to me basically make the game unplayable. Its not screen tearing, because I know what that looks like, that’s when the whole screen tears when moving around, I used to have that but fixed it with vsync and now my game is capped at 60fps. I am able to run my game on high settings because I have a pretty good computer, but the only thing is those stuttering white lines on objects and stuff. I am in game right now, not even moving the camera around and the chairs have these white/transparent lines across them that are constantly stuttering. I haven’t been able to find a single fix for this although I have searched for so long. My graphics are good but this issue makes the game look and feel terrible. I have tried many different in game graphics settings but the problem still persists, I tried taking out all mods & everything & it still happens, I have tried a lot so if you please have a fix to this could you also help me out? Also I used to have an older graphics card and it had this problem, I got a new graphics card and a new cpu and monitor and the problem is STILL there. Drivers are up to date. I’m so confused and sick of this issue. I saw on a post once that apparently the lines came with an update to the sims 3 and were never fixed, but when I watch youtubers play the sims 3 they don’t have the issue, I only noticed it once in one persons video and that was it. It’s very strange.
@SunflowerSimmies This is why I asked for screenshots, because I wasn't sure from the description what the issue was. By the way, screen tearing can present in a lot of ways and isn't always related to uncapped framerates. But that's not the point.
Have you messed with the antialiasing and other settings in your graphics driver's control software, as the original poster mentioned? It's worth trying it with in-game edge smoothing on and off—the driver might be able to do enough smoothing on its own.
Yeah I edit the graphics in the nvidia settings, but before I did that it looked even worse. I’ve worked out that the issue is pretty much caused by the edge smoothing in game, when I turn it off most of it goes away, however it’s still present on buildings. But when I turn edge smoothing off the edges just look so bad, even with using the nvidia antialiasing settings.
