Seems your graphic card is not good enough for the game: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements

Did you try lowering your graphics settings ? Turn off mirror reflections ?

Also update your drivers. They're pretty old.

Okay I'll try all that and if all else fail I keep trying the game used to run perfect. But I know how they tend to update which each new expansion. Thank you

I've tried really low setting on every thing. So I know that it can't be that. May be a silly question but I'm not 100% sure how to update my drivers.

Thank you. It will take some time for me to get everything to date.  If the problem presist i'll just ask more questions.
