Hi Guys. I'm loving the Sims3 just now even though I have this issue. It's difficult to explain so have added a link of a screenshot to show it.
The game will play fine for 5-10 mins and then this will happen. My PC Spec is above min requirements. I have 2GB Ram, 3.05GB Pentium 4 processor and 256 Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS (which is supported) on Windows XP.
I have checked drivers for graphics card and updated DirectX but still same issue is happening and it doesn't matter what settings I have on in the game as it happens on low as well as high settings. Any help would be great.

Thanks in Advance

Thankfully it is still playable at the moment its just frustrating considering specs state this should work fine.
If you know how to change settings on your card, you could try changing things around to see if that helped (make sure there is something that lets you push a button a button to return to default settings before doing that). Sorry, not much help.
We're getting a GeForce GTX 260 this next week when we have the monies. That 7900 was cutting edge back when I bought my Area-51 Alienware...so, now it's time for an upgrade.
I suggest trying newegg first. They have great deals.
