Re: The Sims 4 video card error

My config.log, opened with notepad, is actually completely blank.  I've never looked in there before so I'm guessing that, itself, is off.  This, though, is the error I keep getting (if Flickr decides to work because Imagr won't):

    I'm guessing that the config.lpg being empty is your actual problem.

    Do you still have the documents folder on your c drive or did you move it to d ?

    Still on C for the moment.  I have 20-odd game saves to migrate in order to do that, not all of them Origin/EA.  LOL 😕mileylol:

    I am suddenly having the same error too.  I've been playing this game since I bought it this past summer.  In fact the last time I played was about a month ago, no problems.

    So far as I am aware, there have been no updates to the game.  I've tried checking for updates (none), repairing the game and updating my drivers.  All to no avail.

    First, and foremost, thanks for the help you'd been giving.  RL snagged me away for a time but I think I've figured it out, at least for now.  It started happening on my desktop, as well as the laptop we'd been talking about previously.  

    Apparently the trouble was with ORIGIN, and their updates.  I followed these instructions:  http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2015/03/game-starts-in-small-window-and-doesnt-react/ and, wouldn't you know, everything is working again.  I hope it stays this way and I hope it helps others with the same issue.  Yay! I don't have to cancel my pre-order for Get to Work!
