Hello,

Did you try it without your mods? Just drag and drop the mods folder to your desktop from (my) Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.
Have you tried starting a new town, just for the sake of testing it?

Hello,

Have you already tried clearing the caches? The simplest way is to go to (my) documents\electronic arts and drag&drop the The Sims 3 folder to your desktop. A new folder is generated as soon as you start the launcher, at which point you can move saves, mods and downloads to the new folder. You'll have to reinstall your sims3packs.

Hello,

You probably updated via the "Device Manager", right?
If yes, that's not the correct way.

Please tell me what operating system you have and whether it's 32- or 64-bit. I'll send you the correct driver for your PC.

Hello,

Please go to your computer's software list and remove ALL ATI related drivers.
After that, restart your PC and then download and install this update: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista32.aspx

When the driver finished updating, restart your PC again. Then test the game and let us know the result. Good luck!
