It looks like your problem is your screen being red.
Hope that helps

There has been a massive genocide in your neighborhood following a nuclear plant meltdown, so that's radioactive blood and just good old blood you're seeing covering everything.

Theres a simple fix, really. This problem has been occurring with that game for a while now.
Simply go to your C drive (or whichver drive your system uses) then navigate to the program files fodler, find "Sims 3" then delete sim3.exe.
This should fix your problem.

Do you have Cherry Fruit Roll Ups on the screen?

If so please remove then then reboot PC in safe mode.

Let me know if that is helpful.

Hope you made basements to find cover in.

This thread is hilarious, but I have your answer.

This happened to me in TS2, the red means that your graphics card simply isn't up to the task of running the game properly. Try updating/getting a new one.

Don't be so unhelpful he said that he could play it before, so this happened more recently, his graphics card could run it fine before.

Maybe you should have red the faq...useful stuff in there.
There's also bound to be answers in your GPU's user manual, if only you have red it.

Also, I'm glad I red this thread. After I red it, it really brightened my evening.
