Re: Sims 4 Resolution-What is the fix or best one to use?

This just happened to me after my graphics drivers updated. I just got a black screen that refused to load my game or even stay maximized.

What I finally did to fix it was close my game and lower my computer's screen resolution to 1280x720 (in Windows 10: Settings-->Display Settings-->Display Resolution). I restarted Origin and clicked on my game. That change alone made the game able to load. Once in the game I changed my game's screen resolution to 1280x720 Full Screen - Windowed Mode and saved the settings. Then I changed my computer's screen resolution back to normal. Luckily the changes stuck. 1280x720 might not work for you. If not, try whatever others are in the dropdown menu.

I don't understand why my game worked perfectly before without issue or why I have to have a lower resolution when my video drivers are up to date. Of course, if the video drivers are not up to date that might be the problem for some.

This is a bizarre bug that shouldn't exist, as there are so many different screen sizes and resolutions these days. Hopefully, EA/Origin will resolve it so this work-around won't be necessary.

I hope this works for anyone else having this problem.
