The Sims 3 Island Paradise Underwater Graphics Problem

I just received my Island Paradise game yesterday from Amazon and waiting forever to see what it is like underwater on the Sims 3. But my happiness soon turned to sadness when I saw how blurry it was underwater. I would be fine if it was blurry and I could tell where everything is but I can barely find the same cave every sim day and I can not see any sea shells or treasure chests at the bottom of the ocean. 

 
More information about the situation is: 
1. I installed the latest game patch (1.57) before I received/installed my Island Paradise.
2. The graphics is perfectly fine on land but horrible underwater.
3. The blue Sims control panel at the bottom of the screen is not blurry just the actual game play screen.  
4. On PC with Windows 7.
 
 
Somebody Please Help ASAP! 
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN IT IS BLURRY!
  • Try to turn off advanced rendering in the graphic option ingame. 

    This is an issue some users have but if it's turned off, you can see fine underwater.

  • What is the graphics chip in your computer and how much dedicated graphics memory does the video system have?

    I have tried looking for that information but couldn't find it. Could you tell me where to look. Preferably in steps because I am not a computer genuis at all.
