Sims 3 white lines

In all this, did you upgrade your driver via GeForce Experience?

Yes i have and it still not helped with my problem 

@Bts152  Could you post a few screenshots of what you see?  Hit Windows key-shift-S, drag your cursor over the section of screen you want to capture, and then open Paint and crtl-V to paste the image.  (This only works in windowed mode.)  Please also let me know whether the screenshots look like what you see or not; if not, you can take a picture with your cell phone camera and attach it too.

Help! 

@Bts152  Try uninstalling both graphics drivers, Intel and Nvidia, and reinstalling them.  It's important to uninstall the Nvidia driver first and to reinstall the Intel driver first, so there's never a point where you have the Nvidia driver installed without the Intel one.

Download Display Driver Uninstaller from here:

Download fresh copies of both the Intel and Nvidia video drivers from Dell:

Next, take your computer completely offline—disable wifi and/or pull the ethernet cord—and double-click the DDU.exe.  Take note of where the file will land, and click Extract.  If it's easier, you can copy the path and then paste it into the address bar in a File Explorer window.  Open the folder and then launch Display Driver Uninstaller.exe, and you'll get a message that you're not in Safe Mode.  Click OK, then go to Options and enable Safe Mode dialog.  Here's a screenshot of what your options should look like; make sure the box in red is checked:

Close options, and the DDU, and then open the DDU.exe again.  For launch options, choose "Safe Mode (Recommended)," and then click Reboot to Safe Mode (you'll need your password, so find it before rebooting).  Once you login, you'll see this:

In the blue box, choose GPU, then Nvidia if it's not already showing.  Then click Clean and Restart (red box).

Repeat the above process, except when you choose GPU, now choose Intel.

Once your computer has rebooted, now back in normal mode, run the Intel driver as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart your computer, and run Nvidia the driver install .exe in custom mode.  Select "perform a clean installation" and install ONLY the GPU driver and the PHYSX software, if you have a choice.

Reboot again, go back online, and see whether the game works normally.  If not, let me know.

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

Hi, sorry to interfere but the ‘white lines’ on furniture & clothes that they are talking about is NOT screen tearing. I have the exact same problem they’re talking about and I don’t have screen tearing. You keep trying to get them to do things that fix screen tearing, like enabling vsync and all that but that is not their problem. I haven’t been able to find a fix for this problem anywhere and to be honest it’s so annoying in game. It’s little white lines that look like cracks on objects and sims, when you move the camera they flicker on the object or sim/clothes. It’s very noticeable and I saw once that someone said it was to do with the latest update & thats all they said. However, I have watched many youtubers playing the sims 3 who don’t seem to have this problem. I have a pretty good computer and can run all settings on high very well. However, no matter what setting I do it wont get rid of these white lines. It can’t be to do with edge smoothing because I’ve tried it with and without and nothing fixes it. I could attach a video or image of what the white lines and flickering look like if you want to see. It’s completely unrelated to screen tearing caused by fps. 

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.
