Game not Starting

Hey everyone! I've had a craving to play the Sims 4 again recently, but every time I try and play, it gets past the initial loading screen, and right as it goes to show the main game menu, my entire screen goes black. I can still hear the game music, but my screen is completely black. I have to use the Windows button to get back to my desktop, and even then, when I try to close the game from my taskbar by right clicking and "close", it still makes the screen blackout, leaving me to need to completely reboot my PC. Any suggestions? Thanks!
