grass graphic issue, help please!

DeathNoteSim

I never had this problem before. I recently launched my game to continue working on a lot I started few weeks ago and the grass all over the town was blur! So blur! I don't know why. The Game graphics are just fine, and in live mode it runs smoothly. So am confused! Is there any way to fix it please?

Here's how the grass looks like:

Not really, because I turned all the graphic settings to the max level.

Try turning some of it down, and be sure advanced rendering is on. You have integrated graphics, and the specs to run it that way, but still that GPU is not going to handle all settings maxed out well. Put high detail lots to 2, distance medium, sim detail max, edge smoothing medium, tree detail medium. and reflections to mirrors only. See if it does better that way.

Your graphics chip is very underpowered for the game and was never intended for gaming, only every-day computer use. They are not meant to run games, let alone on all-high settings. They just aren't capable of that level of graphics performance. A true dedicated graphics card is required for gaming, not an integrated graphics chip. Turning the settings to max will actually make the game look much worse than at a lower level because it is turned past it's ability so it simply won't render the textures.

On top of that your graphics driver is dated from 2010 so you will want to check for an update on Intel's website to see if a more recent one has come out.

I know it's not exactly a good laptop to run games and especially powerful games like the sims 3, but still it used to run the game normally and smoothly even on high settings :shock:
