No, 256mb graphics card is more than enough to handle The Sims 3.

Maybe the other things won't play on highest settings, though I doubt that.

But it should handle it, on highest settings, but when you install custom content or another expansion pack then be prepared to lower your graphics in the game.

Answer 2

theres a sims 3??

Answer 3

I could imagine it would run The Sims 3, but if you wish for maximum performance, I would consider a higher specification graphics card.

The game may lagg for this cause, meaning you'll have to notch down the game features to increase performance.

Anyway, good luck buddy. Hope I have been of assistance.
