For me it didn't work
I mean, my laptop is dual core and also windows 7 but the graphics card isn't compatible
Anyways, my cousin's laptop is fine, so I always visit their house so I can play sims 3 xD hahaha! It's bad if my mom doesn't allow me.

Try loading up the game by-passing the launcher - it may work.
