The 210 seems to have problems with the game. Not sure about G210.
Try if updateing the drivers helps with anything
Tagging @CodySimstein for a second opinion
Tagging like this?
Is this Right?or I have to use Add Tag?I tried both. Now I just hope this will work.
Anyway, I already tried updating driver several times. But even after that, There was no change. The error page still appears.
The most curious thing is that sims 4 worked very well in a few weeks ago.
Although it was sims 4 demo program, anyway sims 4 worked at that time.
But after only a few weeks, I mean NOW, it do not work anymore.
What happened to my computer in the mean time?:manfrustrated:
Cody is just another helper and this will send him an email so I tagged him since he's better with graphics card than me. I don't know if he has time over christmas though.
-------------------
There's others with this issue and I don't know why the suddenly get the message. Someone said for them turning off Origin ingame fixed the issue.
Are you updating the drivers through the Nvidia experience or through your computer ?
Hello,
The NVIDIA Geforce G210, NVIDIA Geforce 210, or simply the NVIDIA 210 (it has many names depending on what naming scheme is used, so the 210 is the same as the G210 - @crinrict ) is a graphics card that is many years old now, and is probably on the borderline of the minimum requirements, so is likely the source of the problem.
A recent patch has seemed to reveal which graphics cards/chips are too weak or borderline for running the game, and causing the simmers with this underpowered hardware to suddenly experience problems. I believe there may be a newer graphics driver available, so you can try that, however there isn't much you can do it seems.
I'm sorry for this inconvenience,
Cody
Oh Thanks for your explanation. Now I can see why this kind of problems occured.
I just wanted to know why this kind of issue suddenly occured, and reading your answer I got it.
Then I have to change my graphic card...T_T
Actually I don't have enough money to buy new graphic card now, so I just wanted to solve this problem without buying new one. But you said so, I have to...
Anyway Thanks a lot again Cody. I wish you a merry Christmas🙂
Oh Sorry for asking again, but I think there is one remaining question.
My laptop's performance(including graphic card version) is poorer than my desktop's, but sims 4 works at my laptop, though hard to play.
Then why sims 4 can work at my laptop that has lower specifications?Could you guess the reason?
Sorry for annoying you but I really wonder whyT_T

Hello,
From the many months I've been helping simmers, there are just things that don't make sense with the game. One of the biggest things is that somehow, some people can run the game on pretty weak Intel HD graphics, whereas others have huge problems with this graphics chip. My best guess is that perhaps the slightly newer hardware in the laptop hasn't aged as much as your desktop, so is able to manage just about at running the game.
I hope this helps and keep simming,
Cody
