Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
morriganrant:
For the Hair issue, turn adaptive anti-aliasing off. Adjust Anti-aliasing yourself, try turning on edge detect. I want to say that there was another setting we fooled with to get rid of that issue, but for the past 2 days I haven't been able to play so have forgotten. Plus I uninstall reloaded and installed Razor, so my settings are not set up the way they were just yet.
Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Yes, this was it. Thank you. I'd tried fiddling with the anti-alias and edge smoothing settings, but forgot about having the adaptive settings still on. Can't believe that caused all this damn wonkiness, but nevertheless, thanks again.

Would anyone know what exactly is this supposed to do - The Sims 3 Unsupported Hardware & Graphics Crack - http://www.mininova.org/tor/2641581?
Readme states as follows:
The Sims 3 Unsupported Graphics Card Workaround

in this economy, who the hell can afford to just go out and upgrade hundreds of dollars worth of hardware -
people who say "Oh just go buy a better PC or video card" need to try working to
make their own living, since having access to their rich parents' money makes them
think they know it all. What the hell are they doing downloading torrents! if it
were that easy to just up and buy all that hardware, you could have bought the
game just as easy.... shut up, assholes.....

DLL files Brought to you by Kajinkodda

The watermark that Swiftshader places is removed, so you can play games
without any problems.
---
To use this, just place the two dll files and the Swiftshader.ini file into
the same directory as the game.
C:\program files\electronic arts\the sims 3\game\bin
Then just run the game and you're off.
It's a bit on a whiny side for my taste and lacks any real description. I'm quite fond of my computer so asking more Awesome than me for advice is clearly the only sane option here. Thanks.
TapThatBooty:
That doesn't work, it just makes the game slow and choppy.
I thought it would fix my crashing, and now the wierd line problems, but nada.
I've asked on here a few times for peoples input about what could be causeing my problems but no one has even registered my posts.
SlickCee:
Is there any reason why my game is taking forever to render things?
Say I follow one of my Sims to work and then go back to the house. First, the house will remain blurry- like the other houses when you are far away from them- for a minute, and when I finally do get inside it takes forever for all the objects to get their textures back. In build and buy mode when I am using the color wheel tool, whenever I highlight an object it looses its texture. Yes, the texture gradually comes back in both cases but it is still annoying as hell.
Also, everything has jagged edges. I read something about anti-alias? Would someone mind explaining that to me?
I am using the reloaded version if that has anything to do with it. I am going to see if these same problems exist when I get the legit copy of the game.
