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.
