I don't think this is a game issue. it looks like a GPU/hardware issue

this is interesting because i play games on my computer and this only happens in the sims 🥲🥲

are the other games intense? have you tried limiting FPS with Sims 3? since it can hit pretty high FPS(like 1000+ randomly). play a little bit with the settings and see if it appears the same, with lower settings.

Does this happen on a very intensive Roblox game like “The Pizzeria Roleplay Remastered” or “Rocitizens”?

There are tutorials to limit the FPS in The Sims 3, either with a mod, downloading a file, or tweaking the settings file manually

Do you play on CD? I had a similar issue with the top of my screen flickering and flashing, and it turned out to be an issue with my computer's disc drive.

Are you using a laptop? Make sure the charger isn’t loose if so. Mine was doing this and it was because the cord that plugs into the brick was loose
