Hi michaelrachel,

Do you run your game on fullscreen or windowed mode? If it is fullscreen, you can edit the 'Options.ini' file to force the game to start in Windowed Mode. Users have reported success in running the game and getting rid of the error message after forcing their game to run in Windowed Mode by following the instructions below:

  1. Click on the 'Start' button on your Windows Taskbar.
  2. Select 'My Documents.'
  3. Double-click on the 'Electronic Arts' folder.
  4. Open 'The Sims 3' folder.
  5. Right-click on the 'Options.ini' file and select 'Open With...'
  6. Choose to open the file in 'Notepad.'
  7. Press the 'Ctrl' and 'F' key at the same time to bring up the 'Find' panel.
  8. Type in the following line (without the quotes): 'fullscreen = 1.'
    This line should be the 8th option from the top, above 'simquality'
  9. Change the number 1 to a number 0.
  10. The line should now read: 'fullscreen = 0.'

Your game should now start in Windowed Mode.

Please let us know if that helped you.

Thanks,

Ursula
