    @KimAktiv  A few users have reported this issue with the DirectX 11 version of Sims 4.  Are you running that or the DX9 version?  If you don't know, you're likely using DX9, since you'd have to specify DX11 to switch over.

    Please also let me know whether you're playing in fullscreen, windowed fullscreen, or windowed mode, and whether it helps to switch to windowed.
