Go into your Sims 3 folder:

\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3

Rename your options.ini file to something like Options1.ini and then run the game. This should reset your options to their default settings.

Hope this helps, :)

The games running perfectly fine but I just clicked the wrong button and I'm unable to see my sims needs,,build/buy mode,options,etc. I wish I could send you a picture. If I could just figure out what I pressed on my keyboard then I think everything should be ok

Are you talking about the stuff on the user interface missing? For example:

Yes exactly like that. What do you think I should do? I really don't want to reset my sims or anything. I know if I probably press a button or two on my keyboard it will go back to normal but like I said I forgot what I pressed

I had this happen to me in one of my games last week or the week before, just after loading it. I had to reset the town using Nraas's Master Controller. As resetsim * didn't work and neither did quit without saving. Even restoring the previous save didn't help. :(

If you don't want to try resetting the town or Sim family. There is other tips that might be worth trying in the link below.
