    Doesn't look healthy. It could be caused by a defective card.

    But just in case: Have tried updating your graphic driver and DirectX?

    ROFL! :3
    Best screenshot of the day. hahaha

    Sorry but i just had to comment on that, and sadly i dont think i know any fix for it.
    The Sims 3 should work on newer GPUs like the AMD Radeon HD 6630.
    Do like powerfull499 suggested and try out a newer driver like AMD Catalyst 11.10 for Windows Vista and 7.

    64 bit Windows.

    And here you can grab the latest DirectX revision for Windows.
    Download.
