I had this issue when I tried to play The Sims Life Stories on my no-name (generic) desktop using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 which seems to be a result of the game not detecting the card correctly. I also had the black box bug on The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories as well (probably a Windows 10 issue).
I know some games such as The Sims 2 Double Deluxe, The Sims 2 Seasons, and The Sims Castaway Stories can lock their resolution to 800x600 if the game is played on an older card even if the older game (e.g., The Sims 2 Pets) hadn't experienced that issue. I had an eMachines with an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE which worked in The Sims 2 Pets (I was able to change the resolution) but not in The Sims 2 Seasons (I was stuck on 800x600).
Black box is a graphics card issue. I've got that issue and I'm on Windows 7. I mod the black box issue out.
Seasons and Pets increased the minimum requirements so cards that once were good enough to have settings above minimum became unable to have settings above minimum.
Base game had a set. Then Pets came out and raised it. Then Seasons came out and raised it again.
