Re: Colorful stripes across screen

It is probable you are inadvertantly using the IGP rather than the nvidia/AMD GPU.

Try the following to be sure your discrete GPU is being used rather than the on-board IGP.

  1. Open the nvidia control panel
  2. Manage 3D settings, Program settings tab
  3. Click add to choose the program to customize
  4. Click browse and choose: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4.exe
  5. Set your graphics preferences and click apply.

    You should be able to access the Nvidia Control Panel by right clicking on your desktop.
