Can't run The Sims 4 with the video card in this system.

Well, Origin is at it again, I suppose.

I'm getting the error:



Now I've looked this error up in many places, tried all of the suggestions from updating graphics drivers to turning off "Origin In-Game".  I've restored my GeForce 1070 - which is supported as listed on this website and every other website I've checked - to factory settings and yet, I still get this error.  I literally paid $50 for this game, downloaded it, and got this error immediately and have gotten nowhere.  I've attached a copy of my DxDiag.txt to this post.

So my question is this.  Did I just blow $50 or is there a legitimate fix for this?

    Disregard, I have to play the game in Windowed Mode. I'm happy with that, so nevermind!

    You can try if it works if you start it in Windowed mode, then switch to normal mode once you're in the game.

    Alt-Enter is the fastest way to switch between full-screen and windowed screen.
