So everytime I play sims it runs fine but there is this ONE glitch. Everything keeps twitching. I don't know how to explain it so here is a picture. I really would like this fixed. I have tried to turn on advanced rendering but it made it worse.

This looks like a graphics card issue. If you could let us know what kind of card you have, that might help. Mine looked something like that before I got my new card. Also, how much memory does your computer have? Do you have any mods or CC?

I have 1 mod and a couple of cc items. My computer has 122gb of free space.
Adapter type: ATI Radeon X1200
Chip type: ATI Radeon X1200 series (0x791F)
DAC type: Internal DAC (400MHz)

Does that help?

I use Radeon myself and I can't be 100% sure, but it looks like your graphics card is really low. I know that the Flynn's on here are very knowledgeable about these things. Let me find another thread on this subject and put the link in here.

Here is one thread, there are a couple more on here and when I find them, I will post them.

Does this mean I need a new graphics card? The game runs fine, it's just that one issue so I don't really want to have to buy anything new. I thought it could have been a cc thing because it didn't start acting like that until after I downloaded some cc items. I tried deleting them but it's not working

Hi, lynn709.

I checked on the card through Google and according to NotebookCheck.net it looks like it's an older laptop graphics card, first released in 2007. Given that the card is about 7 years old, it could just be failing from normal use. Unfortunately, given that it is a laptop graphics card, if you are running it on a laptop there's no way to replace it. If you're running on a desktop, you can replace the card. Let us know what type of system you're running and we can go from there.

Hope this helps and happy Simming!

Flynn
