I Have A Sims 3 Graphics Question?

-So, I have learned to hate Sims 3, due to lack of Graphics Quality, but with my new gaming computer I built, I decide to try it again.



Well, playing it for the first time today, since I installed it, I notice one thing that has drawn me away the first time...



When I go into a home, the lighting it absolutely terrible, it is so dark that everything, no matter the color, looks black. This is also true when building a home. When something is in a closed area, it looks dark, and it's starting to make me mad.



I want to know which settings I need to change to fix this, there is no way EA did such a poor job on this game, and didn't bother to fix it after testing... I would hate to think this is my graphics card, I have everything set on max settings, and I know my computer can handle this game.



My Graphics Card is an AMD XFX Radeon HD 6800 Series (1GB) Card.



I keep waiting for an update on my Graphics Card, or a game update that will fix this... But nothing yet.



What do I need to do to fix this issue? It is really bothering me. I even hear Mac's have the same issue, but saw an improvement when using Boot Camp and running Sims 3, but using Windows, I am not seeing any types of improvement, I would hate to see what it looks like on Mac, if they say it looks better on PC.



Thanks in advanced! I appreciate any help or recommendations!I had Windows Vista and I downloaded a cracked version of the Sims game and everything was fine for me. I didn't really see a problem. I'm not sure what your problem is. It might just be a problem with your computer.
