      Not to hijack the thread sorry but I have just updated my Sims 4 and have had the same issue. I have done as you suggested above. Please see attached.

  • MattyDucati  Thanks for the dxdiag, which makes the Sims 4 issue clear: your laptop's graphics driver is from 2018 and likely not compatible with Sims 4.  You can install the newest driver for your processor and graphics chip that AMD offers:

    https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/processors/ryzen/ryzen-2000-series/amd-ryzen-5-2500u.html

    Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.

    Separately, your dxdiag shows that Norton is crashing repeatedly.  I'd suggest uninstalling it and (if you want to keep it around) reinstalling.
