This first link is a nifty chart that shows you how well your Graphics card would fare with certain expansions. Your card falls into the "Maybe" category with Showtime. http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements

I hope that, by "I don't have time for research" you mean that you don't mean you don't have time for reading posts on the issue, because otherwise, you're going to be stuck.

The last two are just possible maybes that you might want to look at. If none of them help you, could you post your dxdiag please? http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/m-p/1049584/thread-id/47181
