    @brittk45 Do you have Origin or Sims 4 set to run in compatibility mode? If so, please undo that setting.
    
    If that doesn't help, try playing while your computer is not connected to the internet. Sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before launching the game.
    
    If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
