Please can someone try the following? I can't test myself as I'm on a 2012 MacBook Pro with NVIDIA graphics.


  • Applications > The Sims 3 then right click on your most recently released EP/SP installed. For example, if you have University Life and have not bought any subsequent EPs/SPs then right click on University Life.
  • Select Show Original then right click on the highlighted EP/SP that shows up and select Show Package Contents.
  • Now navigate through to Contents > Resources > transgaming > c_drive > Program Files > Electronic Arts > (your EP/SP) > Game > Bin
  • In the Bin folder you'll see another GraphicsCards.sgr file and another GraphicsRules.sgr. Make the same changes to those that you did to the base game files


    If it still isn't working, follow the steps above for every EP and SP you have installed.

    Please let me know how you get on. So many are now suffering with this issue, the more people that help the quicker we can figure out a fix :)
