I would say that it's your graphics card.

[batresko]

thats mean that there are no fix for thise problem????

[katya_stevens]

Your graphics card is very iffy: technically, you don't HAVE a dedicated graphics card, you just have a chip on your motherboard. The no-fluff pets issue was fixed with patch 1.29 -- if you have that patch or beyond and you still don't have fluff on your pets, then there's likely nothing you can do.

my game is now on version 10.0.96.015001 >>> is it need to be update???

[HystericalParoxysm]

What is your base game patch number? Check by floating your mouse cursor over the base game icon in the bottom left of the Launcher - the number that pops up is your base game patch version.

[batresko]

its 1.33
so i had nothing to do :(:(

[HystericalParoxysm]

Unfortunately not - that integrated graphics is not suited to playing TS3 with Pets.

[J. M. Pescado]

Integrated non-graphics aren't suited for playing ANYTHING, really. That's what you get for using "graphics" hardware that is 15+ years old. Those things exist to render your desktop, and nothing more. They don't even compete effectively against 3D cards of 15 years ago.

I had the same problem while I was forced to use my on-board graphics for a while. While they aren't bad for minor things, its not really made for games like SIms 3(atleast if you want them to look good). You'll kinda just have to get used to no fluffy :( or think about getting yourself a decent card.

[MsScribble]

I have a good gaming graphics card, as least as I understand it, and still no fluffy, so my guess is you just have to have a super dooper graphics card to play sims 3 well. Super dooper being a technical term of course.

i get a graphic card its intel hd 4000 and a new computer but the problem still!!
what i can do

[StardustX]

Wow this is an old thread. xD

Since you have a new computer, you obviously reinstalled... I was going to suggest that.

Do you have sim detail set to low? Or any visual settings set to low? Try increasing them, restarting the game, and seeing if it looks better. That's the only thing I can think of if it isn't the graphics card.
I know nothing about graphic cards tbh, but I'm pretty sure that's the same kind of graphic card I have and everything looks normal in my game.

Though I don't really see any problems... It looks fluffy to me.

[batresko]

all he deatils are hight and the game loock so god and the graphics perfect but there are no fluffy

[batresko]

??? any one can help me?

First, problems with your game should be posted in the Sims 3 Help forum, not in the discussion forum:
http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=551

If you have a real graphics card (as opposed to the intel integrated graphics chip that you've already mentioned), then you'll need to set your game to use the real card. It's obviously using your intel hd 4000, rather than your graphics card.

If you don't have a real graphics card, then you need to upgrade your computer or buy a new computer which is capable of playing the game. No one is going to be able to fix your problem, since your computer just isn't capable of playing the game. Before you buy a new computer, though, I would recommend that you post in the hardware forum. There's no use buying yet another underpowered machine.

Note that insisting that you have a graphics card, when you don't, will not make it so. Just because your chip is new, that doesn't make it a real graphics card and it doesn't make your chip powerful enough to play the game.

One more thing: playing the game on an underpowered computer can permanently damage your computer.
