I am no one's expert on any variety of integrated graphics, however, I do not think what you have is as good as the minimum for graphics:
The Sims™ 3 Minimum Hardware Requirements
FOR WINDOWS XP
* 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1 GB RAM
* 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* The latest version of DirectX 9.0c
* Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
* At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games
FOR WINDOWS VISTA
* 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1.5 GB RAM
* 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1
* At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets under Windows, the game requires at least:
* Intel Integrated Chipset, GMA 3-Series or above
* 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
* 0.5 GB additional RAM
What else should I change/Upgrade. What graphics card would u recommend me using?
The main issue is your disc drive space. That is far too low. Also your graphic card isn't a card but just a chip. That won't allow you to run the game very good (especially with Pets and/or Seasons).
The CPU is rather low as well.
If you have the means, I would look into a new computer altogether.
