Requirements.
It'll run, but not very well. Your biggest bottleneck is the integrated graphics, they just aren't meant for gaming.

Re: the sims 3

For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least:
Intel Integrated Chipset, GMA X3000 or above.
2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
0.5 GB additional RAM

your VGA is capable to run it with an additional 0.5 Gb RAM and you have 3 gig of RAM, your CPU pass the minimum, but don't expect too much from the X3100, expect to run the game on the lowest settings

Re: the sims 3

The sims have always been a game where the graphics are not very high.

if you saw a computer with a better graphics card expect a big difference in how well it runs

is this a laptop or a desktop?

if its a desktop $50 graphics card will be a big improvement over the intel graphics

Re: the sims 3

Be cautious and hopefully a demo will come out to see if you can play the game

spore could play on intel graphics so I think you should be fine
