@middykitty4 I was also hoping to know which operating system you were running, which is listed along with your computer's other specs. Since this isn't a commonly reported issue, and your hardware is relatively common, I was wondering whether this was an OS issue at least in part.
However, I'm not sure there's a way around this. Your graphics chip is below the minimum requirement for 64-bit Sims 3, and while that won't prevent you from playing, obviously, it does mean you may need to make some compromises.
And what are the graphic requirements of the game? I'm unable to find this information.

@middykitty4 The current version of Monterey is 12.3.1, but I doubt updating would help; that's more the kind of thing that gets addressed with an entirely new OS. Still, it shouldn't do any harm to update.
You can see 64-bit Sims 3's requirements here, below the info for 32-bit:

For "video," as in, the graphics processing, you'll see that the minimum is an Intel Iris 640, which is two generations newer and essentially two (small) increments higher than your graphics chip.
