Re: Sims 3 is way too bright!

Hi.  On most computers on the keyboard there is the option to change brightness.  on one of my pc it is located next to the arrows and on another pc i own its located with the F buttons at the top.  If you have brightness setings on your keyboard you wont have to close out of the game.  Also try the in game settings and try changing the gamma or brightness, whichever it asks.

    if your keyboard is like mine and does not have the button to adjust the brightness then in the start menu type in power options click on that to open up the power options then in the window that pops up  tick the balanced option

  • It's not just about the brightness, the contrast and everything is so saturated that when I turn the brightness down...it's just a darker washed out picture.

    The game doesn't have ingame brightness, gamma, or saturation settings. I can change the level of detail the trees have but I can't make the game darker or brighter...it seems EA has left logic out of the options menu.

  • I already have the balance power plan selected, that's not the issue.

  • Funny story, just got two patch updates and now the brightness issue is gone! Thank you so much for at least trying to help me!
