Screen issues when loading sims 3 for MacBook Air

★ Novice

I’m currently having an issue where my loading screen and game play is looking like this. I tried to change the settings originally to a higher quality and I think that has caused the issue, I tried installing and reinstalling but it didn’t work. I have no idea how to fix it?

@Welliephant  Try deleting options.ini from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.  This will reset all your graphics options to their defaults.  Don't change anything, at least the first time you load the game; just see how it looks.  If it's fine, you can change the settings you want at the Main Menu, not in-game, and be sure to quit and relaunch after changing a setting and before loading a save.
