My Sims 3 has no shadow!
They are screenshots in my game:


You can see it doesn't have any shadows of trees, objects,...
I adjusted Lighting and Shadow option to maximum already.
This is my setting:

My computer:
Intel (R) Core (TM) i3 4005U-CPU
Win 7 Ultimated
RAM 4GB
Graphic card: Intel (R) HD Graphics Family.
I'm sure that my graphic card can display shadow because that video owner has the same graphic card with me, but he can display shadow perfectly:

Please help me, I'm looking forward to your answer!

Thanks nitromon, I really appreciate your effort to help me, but after I follow your tutorial, it doesn't work in my case. Do you have other solution?

And I think mod confliction can't be the cause of my problem because I used to take out all of my mods and run game without them but the problem was still not be eliminated.
This is the screenshot after I follow your tutorial, you see the problem is still there.

As your DeviceConfig and GraphicCards.sgr has been adjusted above, try by clicking restore defaults first, and then try to change your "screen size" ratio according to your windows screen ration e.g. 1366x768 (wide screen), unless you really are using an old CRT monitor or an earlier non wide screen LCD with 1280x768 5:3 screen ratio, and then try to change your "default" screen refresh rate to 60hz or 50hz whichever one is fit for your screen needs.

And I also want to thank nitromon, without him I can't fix this problem. Thank you very very very much, nitromon.

I got it, nitromon, but what should I do? Sorry I''m not a native English speaker so I don't fully understand your comment. You mean I have to put Buhudain's mod in a sub-folder in folder Packages?
Oh, PapaEmy, that world is certainly a custom world. It's a creation of Monsoon: Fairhaven. You can go to this link to download:
