I will post more
@Pomelo-Dilina One cause of this is when the game engine can't keep up with demands: not rendering the trees can help a bit. Seasons seems to make this worse.
Please try a couple things. First, open this save, let it run for a little while (maybe 10-20 real-time minutes), then check the game's RAM use in the Task Manager. (You can put Sims 3 in windowed mode and alt-tab to the TM and back.) Let me know how much memory the game is using, in absolute values; if the TM is reporting a percentage, right-click on the Memory header to switch.
Please do the same in a new save in Sunset Valley, and let me know both the game's memory use and whether the trees appear.
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post, so I can see the specs of your system and whether there are any other obvious issues.

Ok, I sending you Task manager and dxdiag. The save that I playing is brand new world started just since weekend and I only launched it today. I just added some saved houses from library, but i don't have any sims here yet.
Also sorry for TM and DxDiag language, but I know you probably know what does it look like in English.

@Pomelo-Dilina Your computer should be able to handle Sims 3, even on high or ultra settings, so that alone is probably not the issue. However, if you haven't taken steps to manually limit your in-game framerates, excessively high fps could cause performance issues. To see in-game fps, open the cheats console (crtl-shift-C) and enter "fps on" without quotes; a number will appear in the upper right corner, and it should never go above the refresh rate of your monitor, 60 in your case. If it's consistently higher or fluctuates wildly, and you need help capping it, let me know.
Please also test a new save in a completely clean user folder, just for comparison. Move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just let me know whether the same problem shows up.
The language difference isn't a problem, since everything is in its usual place regardless.

I have fps locked on 60 and VSync turned on. Looks like no mods doing this. I can't remember if I even had trees working properly since I bought this game. Isn't it normal after all?
