Black Dots on Screen

@Hellish656  The two commands ran fine this time, no issues, but I can't see your screenshot.  Please attach it to a post.  It's also worth trying to install the Nvidia driver again, just in case DISM or sfc fixed something that was blocking it before.

@McFatFox  To answer your question, open Origin, hover over your username, select Application Settings, then the Origin in-game header, and enable the option at the top.  Then open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Game Properties, and check the box next to Origin in-game.  Both settings need to be enabled.

Why are you trying to enable Origin in-game though?  If you can't purchase a pack through the in-game interface, try using either the Origin app or the website.  The in-game purchase method isn't working right now for a lot of people.

If you're trying to do something else and enabling Origin in-game doesn't work, please let me know what that something else is.

This is the screenshot

I also tried to run Nvidia again, but it comes up with the same message:

The NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows.

This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.

@Hellish656  Try disabling Snowy Escape and see whether it helps.  You can just tell Origin not to load it:

Snowy Escape is EP10.

I tried that, but still have the black dots ☹️

@Hellish656  Did you play the game after the recent patch but before the pack was released, and if so, did you see any black dots?  Otherwise, when was the last time you played Sims 4 with no black dots on the screen?

@puzzlezaddict The last time I played was after the Star Wars pack was released, however, this was on my laptop which broke (I'd never seen the black dots before). I only just got this laptop off my brother who had since brought a new one, so the first thing I did was install origin and buy the new pack which I was super excited about. I then tried to play for the first time and that's when the black dots appeared.

@Hellish656  It's possible that this laptop's graphics card has an issue that's causing the black dots.  If that's the case, then there probably isn't anything you can do: laptop graphics cards generally can't be repaired.  But we're not quite there yet.

You can try uninstalling Sims 4 entirely and just installing the base game—make sure to cancel the pack downloads when Origin automatically restarts them, after you launch the game for the first time—to see whether it helps at all.  I'm not saying you can't play with any packs, just that it's a useful test to see how only the base game runs.

I tried that, but it didn't work.
