@Themzan87  Try switching between fullscreen and windowed mode, maybe a few times.  It might help to quit while in windowed mode and reload, then switch back to fullscreen (or vice versa).  You can also experiment with different in-game resolutions; it's best when the resolution matches the aspect ratio of your monitor.  (For example, most desktop monitors are 16:10, so a resolution of 1280x800 would have the same ratio.)

 

If this doesn't help, delete options.ini inside your game folder (the full path is Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3) and play with the settings again.  The game will create a new options file, which won't be corrupted like your current one might be.

 

Also, try turning off Origin in-game, both globally and for Sims 3 in particular.  To see the setting for TS3, right-click on its icon in your game library and select Game Properties, then untick the box for Origin in-game.  Globally, hover over your username in the Origin window, and select Application Settings.  Origin in-game is the last tab on the right.
