Sims 3 black screen

@Snutzzan  Try launching the game in windowed mode.  Go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, open options.ini, search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero).

If that helps, you can put the game in Fullscreen mode again at the Main Menu, but at the same time, change the in-game resolution to match your monitor.

If it doesn't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
