      I thought I posted this, but I guess the OP hasn't updated the list.

      Anyway, I have a NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB graphics card.

      It's not supported by the game, but I don't have any graphical issues with Pets.

      Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

      Everything works fine EXCEPT i have the no fluff issue yet it is listed under not having it on another post.

      This can't be upgraded to anything I'm stuck with it and do not have the money to buy anew computer nor should I have to just to play the darn game.

      Then explain why I'm having zero issues what so ever other then the no fluff?

      And there's no need to put "not" into all caps as I am not stupid and can read rather well, nor do I need you to yell the fact. I have 4 expansions and thats the only problem I run into graphics wise.

      I have the same as the OP, Intel HD Graphics. No fluff, but other than than that, I haven't noticed any other graphic bugs.

      NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, doesn't work, but since it is unsupported I'm not surprised. I didn't do my research before buying the game, and knew this could come up. Can anyone recommend me a card to upgrade to? I'm clueless about this stuff. :?

      Just an observation....it appears that 99% of the people having problems have ATI Radeon cards.

      I got a new computer is July that had an ATI Radeon graphics card. The ATI Radeon card crashed and died in September....2 months after I got the computer. This happened BEFORE pets was even released...so it's not Pets related. Since my computer was only 2 months old and still under warranty, they replaced the ATI Radeon graphics card with a new Nvidia GeForce card. Thankfully they did because I'm having zero problems with my game. But if my ATI Radeon hadn't died before pets came out, I'm sure I'd be having the same problems everyone else is having.

      Is anyone with Nvidia cards having any problems?

      Edited to correct grammar :oops:

      Hi. I have the same card. What computer do you have? I dont have pets yet but I got the demo and all looks good on there. Are you having any problems at all as I don't want to waste my money. I cant afford a new laptop at the moment. Thanks

      I wouldn't suggest my computer, it has a bad processor and CPU speed, and the sims 3 runs really slow so it has to be on the lowest graphics settings. The only good thing about it is the graphics card :lol: . Mine is the Toshiba satellite pro L450D with windows 7 and AMD processor. If the demo works well on yours, the game probably will to :). Hope I helped!

      Thanks for that. I have an Acer. It's not old but not brilliant either. I think I might risk getting it then. At least I know the card works anyway.

      I have an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M too, and the game freezes whenever I try adopting an animal (and there's also the "deformed" glitch that pops up from time to time).

      I tried to reduce the graphic settings but it didn't help. :(

      I have the Nvidia GeForce 9400M and I'm having no major glitches, my game is still playable the only real problem I have is the 'no fur issue' which is really bugging but I'm sure it's not my graphics card..

      I have the Nvidia Geforce 7900 GS with latest update. Had no problems until Pets. Now crashes to desktop without warning. For the 3 weeks it worked with Pets everything looked great except intermittent short lags.
