And yes, certain Gallery lots are broken and have been since the For Rent patch; others may have broken more recently.
Thank you that's important to know. However, even starting a new game now hasn't fixed my problem with that lot. It's in Sulani but I don't seem to have the problem anywhere else.
I can play in windowed mode but not in fullscreen, on any saved Sims game. Saves just won't load in fullscreen anymore.
That's interesting as I saw another player say it only works in fullscreen for them.
I did the -dx11 line to put it back to dx9 but it's stil the same, that didn't help at all but at least I can play in some form.
Thank you for the help.
@Foxley828 Does the lot have the Off the Grid trait? That's a Known Issue:
In that case, please go right to the bug report.
Are you saying that you can only play this lot in windowed mode, or that you can only play Sims 4 in general in windowed mode? If the latter, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

I would also add that removing the -dx11 command line argument only reverts the game to DX9 mode if you have an Intel GPU or you've specifically selected DirectX 9 in the graphics options. DirectX 11 is the default for Nvidia and AMD GPUs now.
This Is my DxDiag file I hope this is helpful info
