Re: FPS are not right
@generuler4 When you say the colors changed at higher than 120 Hz, do you mean in-game, or overall on your monitor? Is the listed color depth still 32-bit for the 165 Hz refresh rate, and are you also using the native resolution of your monitor?
For Sims 4, try deleting options.ini after you've set your monitor to run at 165 Hz, or 120, or whatever you want that's higher than 60. The game will spawn a new copy of that file, and it should pick up the new refresh rate. Once you've done that, try using fullscreen mode and enabling vertical sync, to see whether it helps with the flickering. If that doesn't, let me know whether windowed fullscreen or windowed mode works any better.
If none of this makes a difference, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what framerates you're seeing in-game with v-sync both on and off.
