Re: Accidentally restored defaults on game settings
@joelsimsroyals Please remove your Mods folder and test again. You should anyway because of the patch that was released a few minutes ago, so this is a great time to test without any mods or custom content.
If the game still won't load, force it to start in windowed mode. Go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, open Options.ini, search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero). If this works, you can go back to fullscreen, but at the same time, set the in-game resolution to match your monitor.
If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
