Not limiting your FPS with this game can overwork your card , overheat the card and shorten the card's lifespan. Yes people have ruined their cards with this game. Screen tearing can be another problem. You should be capping your fps to 60 if your monitor is 60 hz.
the 750 ti is a mid level card. It's also now older . the new 1000 series is much better. You might need a better video card to handle some of the things you want your computer to do. It's not the FPS but the quality and level of your card . Some people run this game on very high end cards so they can add more taxing mods.

Do you think my graphics card will be okay if I play at these settings but still use reshade?
On the nvidia control panel I have now got most things at the default thing but I have FXAA on, triple buffering on, vertical sync at adaptive, virtual reality pre-rendered frames at 1 bc it says higher numbers = higher latency which sounds like it's a bad thing so I set it to the lowest number... Idk if it's relevant to the sims bc that's not VR but someone said they changed that setting for the sims 3 so maybe...
And then in the actual game I have these settings:
Reflections: mirror and water, the second-best setting for reflections
Edge smoothing: off (it doesn't look to do much when it's on, so that's why I let nvidia do it instead)
Visual effects: middle
Lighting and shade: middle
Tree detail: middle
Draw distance (??): high
The amount of very detailed lots at a time is 1
Texture detail is high although I could settle for middle, too
Sim detail is very high
Smooth animation and advanced rendering are on but I could turn smooth animation off bc everybody seems to be confused if that does much
Fullscreen is on
the 60Hz limit thing is on
Object hiding is off
I'd like to maybe use the sharpening shaders that come with reshade but I don't know, do you think it will be better than using the HQ mod because that's not recommended for gameplay and then perhaps I could achieve a similar effect using the shaders? Or would that kill my graphics card.
