futterbbooga If you have any files in ConfigOverride, inside Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, please remove them.

Otherwise, disable any apps that come with overlays: Steam, Discord, etc. Disable the EA App in-game overlay too; the option is under Settings > Application.

If that doesn't help, try putting the game into windowed mode, which is an option included with the other graphics settings.

justbeingreddy Please disable any apps you have that come with overlays: Discord, Steam, etc. Disable the EA App in-game overlay too, under Settings > Application.

If that doesn't help, try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see whether the problem is still present.

If that doesn't help either, please provide a dxdiag. Hit Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
