    That's strange, I had updated them to the newest version from January through the Nvidia webpage but I will try again... Either way I'm quite certain that didn't fix my problem before, not sure how I reverted the update to the one from September.

    Sadly this nor like 6 other solutions have not yet worked. My video card  played this game before i did the Win 10 install. 

    Tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling the game

    tried repairing the game

    tried removing every mod i had for it

    removed the INI file

    uninstalled my video card drivers and reinstalled using GeForce experience (did this 3 times now. twice today alone) so my drivers are up to date

    Only have the 1 video card (currently running 4 monitors. and have ran the game with all 4 running also but just 1 playing the game)

    Disabled origin online

    Attempted to turn off game mode in windows settings but that isnt an option (just says  "this pc can run game mode) but has no on/off option

    A tad annoyed I have only about 20 hours in this game. sure dont feel it was worth the price not getting much game time in before "updates" brick the game

    Hi @Selena1233 @livebyhonor

    please try the following things

    1. See if it starts in windowed mode
    2. Turn off Origin In Game (already suggested above)
    3. If you have a dual graphics system, make sure the game runs on the card and not the chip
    4. Uninstall and reinstall your graphics drivers (already suggested above)
    5. Rollback to earlier graphics drivers
    6. Right click on the game in Origin and press repair game

    Test after each step

    If none of these work, could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

    Hey guys, so i been dealing this problem ALL DAY, and i was legit about to sorta cry and give up, and i installed/ updated my Geforce drivers, and installed/reinstalled GeForce experience, i did this about 2-3 times for each, the drivers and the experience as well, i also restarted my PC, and i took notes to edit from the GeForce Experience, edit you're window type, i choose windowed, instead of full screen, the 3rd TIME AROUND, this was my last time trying, and surprisingly IT WORKED! FINALLY! its in windowed form, and all updated, drivers, msi, cpu. even my malware i updated. And before this, i tried the force add on folder/virus protection and added Ts4_x64 that NEVER worked so i removed all that, defaulted back to the original, and re did the STEPS. installed/updated drivers, the game itself, and finally worked the 3rd time around. SO all i have say DONT GIVE UP, MAYBE try 3-4 times updating/ removing/ restarting you're PC over and over until finally get it working, SEEMS that WINDOWED MODE, really was the last thing to HELP me get my game to START UP. NOW i did get a error about my video cards BUT the game is working SO i dont understand what could still be wrong, i want to restart my PC again now, to make sure no problems when i do turn it off and get off, and restart and come on to play Sims the next day, BECAUSE if this became a problem everyday, ill be done with the SIMS lol i dont want to be, but today was HELL trying figure this out and finally PLAY and i was SHOPPING for CC all day until I realized my game never, ever was going to work apparently, BUT now IT DOES. SO BOO YA! 

    I HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE/EVERYONE OUT! Enjoy.
