Ok so I've downloaded GeForce driver updates and they're all up to date now. But now the game won't even open up. I'm tempted just to go back to Sims 3 instead haha

@SecretAquarian Are you getting any error messages now or what happens when you try to open it ?

    I'll certainly work my way through those things when I have the time to, thank you for trying to help! 

    I'll load up Origin and click to play sims and a white screen will load up as if it's trying to open it but then it just goes back to the origin loader. My PC doesn't freeze it just doesn't start up the game

      Before you start fighting errors in the Windows system, move The Sims4 folder from Documents to the desktop and try to start the game. If the game starts it will mean that the reason for this error is in the game folder. If the game doesn't start, it means that either Windows or a graphics card is to blame.

      @SecretAquarian Could you try deleting the option(.ini) file ? It's found in documents.

      You'll need to redo all the settings (except what's saved on the save itself).
