Pets Glitch?

Theres a glitch, or technical problem, when trying to create or even have a pet. The pets are messed up. Like the mouth and nose are stretched up, sticking straight out, the body is glitchy and this happns with all the pets. Anybody know how to fix this?

Its a glitch, and normally happens to unsupported video cards. Whats your pc specs ?

Its a problem within the ea game. The same thing happened to my computer, I called ea games and they said their phones had been blown up the day the game was released. They said it is only like that for some people and that they are creating a patch to fix this. The deadline was two weeks after the game was released, so you shouldn't have to wait to long for this to be fixed.
Hope this helps

"Few notes on this... Yes, those types of issues are indicative of a problem with the graphics card (or integrated chip). For those people attempting to play on unsupported graphics cards who see permanently deformed pets, this will not see improvement with any future game update - Sims 3 requires a certain level of hardware to display properly.

We are investigating graphical issues that specifically impact players that use an officially supported graphics card, but I don't have any specifics I can share regarding that at this time.

The issue with pets momentarily warping/deforming and immediately correcting themselves afterward is separate, unrelated to pets that consistently look wrong."

Out of the horses mouth himself, er, bad joke.

It's getting very annoying, even people with built gaming desktops or laptops that can play any game out today at max setting are having problems with pets, and all EA is saying "buy a new card", someone on the forums has the same problem and has a GTX 590 ( which at the moment is the one of the best cards on the market and the newest from the Geforce range) and got told they need a better one, errrr there's nothing better to get ! lol

C'mon, like we didn't know that EA has awesome (!) support and service to their paying users.

I'm using an integrated card, 7050 or something, iv been told by many people it's unsupported and should buy a new one if i dont want my game to glitch and it works fine, almost everyone who told me to update my card has the deformed pets glitch. muahahahaha.

I dont know what EA support is like, never had to use it, but by what i have read, its a load of bull.
