Re: SIMS 4 Black Screen in Windowed Mode

So for future reference for anyone else having the same issue, I removed my Sims 4 folder to my desktop, played the game so it generated a new folder and moved back my saves folder and Mod folder.

HOWEVER, there was something in my Mod folder that was causing it to crash. After going through all my CC to find the culprit, I found out it must have been my OLD Resource.cfg in my mods folder causing the issue as all my CC were running fine.

-When the game regenerates a new sims 4 folder, a new Mods folder appears. Move all your CC into the NEW Mod folder (Do not drag your copied Mod folder into it) - deleting the old Resource.cfg file thats left.

Just move everything into a fresh new Mod folder!

So it's most likely the Resource.cfg file causing the problem!

Hope this makes sense.

  • Hello! I was having the windowed black screen problem but now that I moved my Sims 4 folder onto my desktop, my game loads! But, it zooms in, like normal, but when it tries to slide to the right, into the game like it normally would. It gets stuck halfway and half my screen is black. 

    Would anyone be able to help?

    P.S I am on Mac.
