@lamisha2009 The only way your graphics card might be in danger is if you're running the game without a framerate limiter. Sims 3 doesn't cap framerates—literally, the number of frames per second that the card renders—on its own, and your card is powerful enough to generate several hundred per second even with all packs installed. I can help with this, but please let me know whether you play in fullscreen or windowed mode, or both.
If you want to get your card recognized manually, the instructions are the same as before. This doesn't usually help with crashing though.
Please also let me know what process you have to do after restarting your computer to make the game work.
I always play in Fullscreen. When i turn my computer on & log into origin. I then launch the game, check the graphic files. I have the original games rules plus the new game rules file wit the new graphic card as well. Then i relaunch the game & once the game goes into the main menu i check my options & make sure my settings are changed. Then i play without any problems at all. No crashing or anything. But in my deviceconfi its still 0-0 in found & match.

@lamisha2009 Please remove the new .sgr files, both graphicscards and graphicsrules if you've edited or replaced them, or else repair the game again. I want to know what happens when you don't change those files.
And I keep repeating myself, but I absolutely need to know what kind of in-game framerates you're getting. I can't help you unless you tell me.
- Hit control-shift-C
- Write fps on , and enter
- Look for the number in the upper right corner of the screen
- Let me know how high the number gets

fps on abort no content unknown error. That's what i get when i do what you ask for the fps (framerates.)
When i do not change the files in the game the game crashes within maybe 20-35 mins of play time.

@lamisha2009 Do you play through Origin? If so, enable the fps counter there. Hover over your username, select Application Settings, then the Origin in-game header, and choose a corner where you want the fps to show.
