Re: graphics driver update causing graphics problems

@PaigePlays4  The options.ini file, inside Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, resets every time the graphics driver updates.  Just load the game to the Main Menu, change your graphics to whatever you want, quit to desktop, and reload.  Let me know if the graphics are back to normal.

 

If the game still looks off, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
