Graphic Problem with Sims 2

I have the Sims 2 and all expansions if that matters to anyone and I have a really good computer for gaming. I have all graphical options turned up on the Sims 2 and they look great when im in a house but it seems like when im in neighborhood view, the houses seem plain and undetailed. The roofs are smooth and so is the grass and the houses seem a bit blocky. Can anyone help me solve the problem? I can take some screenshots of neighborhood view and house view after school around 1 o'clock this afternoon.

 

Here's my screenshots:

If you look at the pictures when im in family you can see how detailed it is but if you look at the neighborhood view you can see how plain and blocky it is. Maybe its me but if its not is there a way to fix it?
