•This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. 
Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings can be lowered to improve performance. 
The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

8600, 8800
9400M, 9600M GT

Hello,

I have seen people with the Sims 3 launcher error. I have seen this solved by fully updating Windows with all the latest updates.

- Fully update Windows via Windows Update
If you are unsure how to update Windows 7, checkout my tutorial below:
