THE SIMS 3 ISSUE WITHOUT CUSTOM CONTENT
I'm back with another issue that I found inside the sims 3. However I found no solution, not even through mod the sims website. When inside CAS the game responds fine, Outside of CAS the game respond...

@Acidscherrie Does it change if you use Q/E or WASD to move the camera angle around? The screenshot just looks like the angle is so low, it's partly below ground level, and there's nothing to render at that level.
I’ll have to check when I reinstall the game. Although I think it only happens when pressing the “q” key doesn’t seem to affect other lots well not that I know of for that matter considering my sims character remains at home most of the time. I've entered the game for the 100th time an appeared to have another issue with my sims 3 game, created a new family but came across an issue which persists, When in game mode as I move the camera in any angle objects look like they are "cut in half" like a line appears when moving the camera if that makes sense
@Acidscherrie I know what you mean about the object clipping: there are a lot of camera angles where this happens, and it's not always obvious why it should. Some of this is normal, but if you think what you're seeing is excessive, feel free to post a couple screenshots. It isn't a problem with your computer or the game install; Sims 3 just does this.
- @puzzlezaddict Another question I have would be is the sims 3 suppose to conflict with other people expansion packs/stuff packs. I used delphy’s sims 3 dashboard and it says multiple expansion packs are conflicted/corrupted and I never had a problem like this before
- @Acidscherrie Dashboard is a great tool, but it is not equipped to analyze things like worlds and game/expansion pack files. The results it reports when aimed at such files are not meaningful. Dashboard is meant to be run on player created package file content only, that which would be in Mods\Packages or Overrides.
- @puzzlezaddict The clipping issue is only noticeable when it’s in full screen mode. When in window mode it’s not noticeable or doesn’t seem like it’s there at all. But for the CAW issue someone on a discord group said it could be a processor issue seeing that I’ve had the computer for 2 years.. which doesn’t seem to be the issue, you might be right that it’s partly below ground level the only reason I asked about this is because I remember when the camera was below ground level it never looked like caw tool it would move towards the next house over.
@Acidscherrie I'm not familiar enough with CAW (not at all really) to know what is and isn't normal for it. But if you like how the game looks in windowed mode, at least as far as clipping goes, you could use Windowed Borderless Gaming (free download) to get the fullscreen size with windowed mode functionality. It's also possible that the clipping has something to do with the resolution you're using, especially if your game uses a lower resolution than your monitor. But you'd need to play around with that more.
The fact that your processor is a couple years old shouldn't have anything to do with it. If the CPU is weaker, sure, that can affect the game. But the processor itself isn't doing any graphics rendering, unless of course your graphics card is actually a chip integrated into the CPU rather than a separate component. In those cases, it's also not usually about the age of the hardware so much as its overall strength.
At any rate, if you want to talk specs, feel free to post them. It's kind of hard to speculate without more information.
