I've had this problem since yesterday when I started playing sims 3 on my new latop. I looked around on the internet and found a solution which has worked for me!
Basically, right-click on homescreen (to get the list of options come up) click 'screen resolution' and from there fiddle around with the resolution options. I had sims 3 minimized whilst doing this, and flicked between the two to find a resolution that would stick!
The only problem I had with it, was that that coundown to revert was only a few seconds long, so be prepared with your finger on the enter button to select it!
I hope that made sense, I'm terrible at explaining! Enjoy! 🙂
