Thank you for your response I had someone at my school take a look at it. I didn't understand everything that they did, but that sounds somewhat familiar.
What did they do that worked for you?? I tried the solution here and launching without cc (I still left the cc in the folder just checked the box off) idk what cc is broken just though. I don’t want to uninstall and reinstall cause I have a save I really like on here but it’s getting so frustrating to not know how to fix this.

@MushyBeans21 Did you specifically try setting fullscreen to 0 (zero) within options.ini? It looks from your photo that the game is still trying to launch in fullscreen mode, so if you did edit options.ini, you may have found a second copy of the file, not the one the game is using.
Alternately, if you use GeForce Experience to optimize your game settings, or another app that does the same thing, it could be reverting Sims 3 to fullscreen on its own.
I'd also like to see a dxdiag on this computer.

- 3 years ago@puzzlezaddict this dose work must add too to hide task bar then al set on a newer gpu gen like the amd rx 6650 series it dose not support 3d aceration thats why sims 3 gose black when full screened no way to fix it but to force full screen mode these are vulcan made cards with limited open gl support dose not support direct 11 or older only 12 or higher so thats whats going on with me plays flawless in windowed mode and seems to work in fuul screen as long as its not set in game so that means you will get all ur popups and task manager showing and you cant do anything bout it
