I checked for an options.ini file in my sims3 folder and nothing could be found. I'm running Windows 11 on a new Lenovo Legion t5i tower. Obviously Sims3 cannot understand what a GEFORCE GTX 1660 Super NVIDIA graphics card is. I have the issue as the screenshot posted above, however I cannot see the lot signs I can only see the interface in the bottom left-hand corner. Create-A-Household works fine. Every time I attempt to apply Game Option changes and restart the game, Sims3 has forgotten all of my settings. Even if I don't restart, I'll save options then check and it will be as if any setting change I made was now unmade. I would really appreciate some help as I would hate to return the digital download through Origin. Running high end loft stuff, late night and supernatural expansions. XOXOX
