Sims 3 loads but no picture after intro

I installed the base game and the all of the expansions and stuff packs. Updated the patch to 1.29, and did the ultimate fix. Game loads fine, but once I get past the intro the game doesn't output video. I can still hear the game running through my speakers, but my monitor says check video connections. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

This is weird. Do you experience the same problem with other games / programs too?
This is worth trying: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t857-the-sims-3-crashes-freezes-to-desktop-fix-update-22-12-2011

Ill give that a shot, but skyrim, and the old republic work perfect.

//EDIT

Tried everything in the link, but nothing worked. Gah

Hello,

Please see if your PC can run the game: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

Im running a 3.2ghz i7 16 gigs of ram and three nvida gtx570's, so the system requirements are not an issue. I think I might have messed up in the install somewhere, but I'm not sure. Ill have to uninstall and try again tomorrow.

All my drivers are up to date. However my graphics card isn't officially supported list, but I have used it to play TS3 before I installed the expansions.

I uninstalled Pets, Generations, and Town Life and now it works perfect. Im just wondering if its worth trying to reinstall. Thanks for all the help!

Hello,

Try reinstalling Generations and Town Life Stuff and see if the problem still persists. If not, then it's certainly caused by Pets and your GPU probably doesn't support it.
