Trying To Record The Sims 3 Gameplay, But Video Quality Is Too Dark

Yeah, I think that's the only solution here.

If I have to play in windowed mode, then I don't think it's worth it, because I intentionally play in fullscreen mode because I want to make sure that the frame rate is capped at 60, no more.

While vertical sync is not effective in windowed mode, fps capping is (or should be). How to arrange that and whether a third party tool to do so is required depends on the graphics card.

The latest versions of many Nivida drivers include a setting for explicit fps capping and there is still Nvidia Inspector for those who need to add it on. For AMD cards, many of us have success with RivaTuner Stats Server (RTSS).

RivaTuner also lets you run TS3 in Windowed Fullscreen.
