Does your GPU supports OpenGL?
It's a so dated rendering technique that I wouldn't be surprised if video-cards these days would never even heard of it.

i do have intel integrated hd graphics 3000 any alternatives?

Try updating your graphics driver, but if that does not work there is not much else you can do without replacing the graphics card, which is not an option on laptops.

how could any one gues i'm on a laptop XD

[Evanitis]

Integrated graphics cards are common in laptops. A few desktop motherboards have it too, put people generally stay away from those.

Intel HD 3000 supports OpenGL to the 3.1 version. Your game should start in OpenGl.

Um, no. The current (4.5) spec was released in August 2014, and until everyone switches to Vulkan, OpenGL will continue to be the standard (and only) graphics API on any non-microsoft operating system. Every GPU in existence (if manufactured after ~1998) is supposed to support it.

That said, Unity3d + OpenGL on  Windows is unofficial/unsupported, so YMMV.

I've got intel hd graphics on my laptop too, and I had the same result you describe. I ended up being more selective about the mods I install (no visual enhancements). I'm using rbray's DTL, which saves a bunch of RAM, so I can still use a fair number of parts packs.

Gauga, please see here for graphics drivers, you will have to choose the one for your operating system.

Intel HD 3000 drivers.

In the old days integrated graphics were on the motherboard. Todays integrated graphics are on the CPU. They are unavoidable.
