Sims 4 Black Screen on Launch

My Sims4 has started launching with a flickering black screen. When the game loads, I can hear the theme music, but can only see the load screen if I click out of the game play screen. I have to close the game through Task Manager; when I do that, my EA app will also turn to a flickering black screen. I have tried the below solutions from other threads:

-uninstalling/reinstalling, updating, clearing cache of EA app

-uninstalling/reinstalling, updating, clearing cache, repairing Sim4

-removed mods and cc folder

-opened using a new/unplayed in game file

-changed resolution settings both in game and on PC

-updated my PC

-checked for graphic drivers update

-opened game in both full screen and windowed modes 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
