Help! I'm stuck on a Black screen

wendyenglish97​  If you haven't already, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs, that is if you can get that far.

If that doesn't or didn't help, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

Thank you! And will do. See how it goes tomorrow🥹

Hope there is something in here that makes sense 😭

wendyenglish97​  Most of the errors in your dxdiag are crashes of the graphics driver, or one of them anyway.  Sims 4 should only use the Nvidia GPU and driver, and that driver is from 2021, so the next step is to update it.  But don't install the newest-available driver.  Instead, go here:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

And download version 576.88, from July 1.  Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart your computer after installing and before doing anything else.

Pleaes also be aware that today's patch broke many mods, so you may need to remove your Mods folder to get the game to work, at least for now.  If you don't, the game may not start or load properly even if the original problem is addressed.
