I doubt it will do anything, but since you updated, keep us updated on what happens as well. - graceymanors5 years agoLegendSo far it’s reset my settings so now I have to get my card recognized again ? hope my game doesn’t get choppy lol

Graphics were reset - karritz5 years agoLegend@GraceyManor
If your graphics drivers get updated, and probably other updates too, the Options.ini file gets deleted and you end up with the default. The way I handle this now is I keep a backup of my Options.ini file outside my Sims 3 folder.
When the Options.ini file gets replaced in my Sims 3 folder I open it in Notepad and I look for this line in the NEW Options.ini
lastdevice = 0;10de;1c03;8813
I get a copy of the numbers etc that come AFTER the =
and
I open the backed up copy of the Options.ini file and look for that same line and replace the text that comes after the = with the text I copied from the NEW Options.ini file.
Then I save the updated version of the old Options.ini to my Sims 3 folder after deleting the NEW version that has had all of its settings put back to defaults.
Then I launch the game and all is good. - graceymanors5 years agoLegend@Karritz

OK so long as you got it working again. I don't have Origin as I didn't put it on this computer when it was new. That means I can't play Sim City or Sims 4 or many other games I only can access from Origin but I'd rather do that than risk having Sims 3 updated to 1.69 and have to launch it through Origin. - graceymanors5 years agoLegendI don’t have a pc that can do disk games so I don’t have the option of avoiding origin.

I got my PC built for me and made sure it has a DVD player in it. I think you can get plug in DVD players if you need one. - graceymanors5 years agoLegendExit: if origin tells you you have a sims 3 update be careful doing it, it’s corrupted my user file now I have to one by one my
