Is doesn't work for me at all and the screen still goes black. This is crazy...what do I do?
What has worked every time I have done it, is when I run the game and load up a house, I change the game resolution to 1600x1024, and then I click on an object in the buy mode. The screen will then go black, so I alt tab out of the game, and then back into the game. After doing this, the black screen doesn't come back until I close and re open the game. I am then able to change the game resolution back to 1080p (which is my monitor's native resolution.)
1. Start the game.
2. Load up a house to play.
3. change game resolution to 1600x1024.
4. click on random object in buy mode.
5. once screen goes black, alt + tab out of game, and then back into game.
6. change resolution back to desired playing resolution.
7. enjoy playing the game. (hopefully?)
this totally worked for me. Thank you. I hope more people try this.

The above works for me - but it's completely rediculous that this issue hasn't been fixed yet.
*** UPDATE*** This worked for about an hour but now I have the same problem back again, The fun continues......
EA rang me today and sorted out my issue.
I went to control panel, device manager, right clicked on graphics card and hit properties, did roll back driver.
He then also got me to right click on the shortcut to sims4 on the desk top, properties. Changed compatibility to windows 7 ( I'm running 8.1) and make sure box 'run as administrator' is ticked.
I dont know which one worked, he thinks probably the driver rollback but it seems fine now. Hope this helps someone.
this is the only thing i found that actually worked for me! Hopefully it works permanently, but at least it worked! Thank you!
I am having the same issue so upsetting!!!!! I like my Sims 3 games just fine but I want to play sims 4! Like what the heck is going on? Hoping someone can help all of us!
