My sims 4 game keeps giving me a black screen

I updated my game to the most recent patch update 1.90. Now, whenever I open my game, after a minute or two, my screen would go black and then come back during the loading screen. Then, on the home screen, it would do by itself or whenever I clicked a button like 'Resume' or 'Game Options'. I tried to load a game to see if it was just a slight error that would resolve itself, but when I loaded a game, it got worse. It went black every time I moved my mouse and then eventually it just stayed black, but I could still hear my game playing. I tried this with and without mods in my game and it doesn't make a difference. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    Notice that many mods are broken with the latest patch.
