Hi
I hope you don't me restarting this old thread. But almost a year on I'm still unable to fix this problem. I half gave up due to uni and travel I was to busy to even play games let alone fix them but I figured I would give it one more go. I love Sims 3 I've tried moving on the sims 4 but I've found it so limiting. I hate the idea that I will never be able play the families and worlds I spent so much time building again. I'll try to explain everything. I also get the error message described when trying to open sims 3. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. I've edited the graphic rules and graphic cards files to except my card, but there was no change. Everything is up to date. The only thing that seemed to work for a little while was to basically completely wipe my computer and start again fresh, but after about 3 months the problem recurred. as much as I love sims 3 I cant continually rebuild my computer to play it. I thought to get a older graphic card to install alongside my newer one but sadly my motherboard atm only has space for the one. I've also tried installing older drivers for my gpu, reinstalling and reinstalling the drivers. but nothing I do seems to get sims 3 to recognise the card. Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated
