Sims look weird

>Did you try resetting the graphic card to factory default described in my last post ?

Yes.

>I do think it driver related so you might wanna try switching back to an older graphic card driver.

I have installed this driver. Installing an updated driver from AMD's website makes the computer always use the power-saving GPU (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250). No older versions are available.

>Delete the cache files

Didn't do anyhting.

Unless 60°C is too hot, my computer isn't overheating. Changing the graphics settings didn't help.

Do you have the same issue with the power saver GPU (just curious, I'm sure it's not fun playing with that GPU)

If you look around the net (google: Melted Faces) it's a wide spread problem with AMD switchable cards, I could not really find a solution though.

I told you the same situation, the result I put the performance into a power saving mode, the sims normal

The result I put the performance into a power saving mode, sims normal

Then I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the AMD drivers.

Maybe trying to contact them to see if they have a solution ? Try out a beta driver if there's one ?

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I exactly know what the problem is! I had the same problem, the thing is that with the last catalyst update, videocards like yours and the 2xxx 3xxx series are getting this in all games (only windows 7 and vista for some reason). In order to fix it, you must download this version of it (remove the videocard drivers 1st). Link : http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?p=4330698 I hope this helps you mate.

It solved the problem for me, and hundred more ppl, so why not for you?

Should the OP check back, I wanted to ask if I could use their picture for a blog post I'm planning on making.

The AMD Radeon HD 6470M is not on the supported cards list. I also tried installing the hotfix before, but that resulted in Catalyst Control Center not recongizing any cards. I could still play 3D games though, but it didnt fix the The Sims 3 problem.

Yes, you can use them.

Have you tried searching their site if there are any other hotfixes for your card ?

And thanks.
