I don't know if anyon else has this problem but my shadows are really pixelated. I have every setting on high a part from the house view which is on 6. Is this just how the shadows are in the sims 3?

Hmm, I haven't played the sims 3 yet, but is there an option for soft shadows? Also in the control panel for you graphics card, increase the anti-aliasing BUT BE WARNED that turning it up to 4x or 8x will make things look MUCH smoother and better without the square pixel edges everywhere, it will add extra load to your GPU, if you have a weak one.
Look at Anti-Aliasing:

Um, sorry for bothering you again, I thought I knew what I was doing but now I'm stuck. How do I turn anti aliasing on or do I have have to do something else? I'm new at this  Wacko.

Also, which brand?

Um, I think it is an intergrated graphics card.

Here are the details:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Chip Type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor


I don't know if you need any more details but if you do just let me know. Smiley Thanks.

Sorry its taken so long for a reply  Tongue
Anyway, you should have a program called Catalyst Control Center
When you enter it go here:

See where it says Ant-Aliasing in the image? Click that and change it to 2x. Setting it to high will GREATLY lower your FPS.
