Yes, I still do not have an option to change it. But I think it is running in 32 anyway. When I go to task manager it says Sims 4 (32bit). Yes, I have gone to the game files and clicked on each of the VC++ files for 2010 and 2013 (64 and 86) to repair them.
Ok, so really strange...I Googled the Origin window that keeps popping up when I start up Origin that says "Origin is running in Windows Compatibility mode if problems occur take it off this mode." So I found a page and did what it said. Oh and I just checked to see if I had the tab in origin for 32 or 64 and I have that now too! It's in 64 bit by the way. So I thought maybe I would try that for Sims 4. I right clicked the game shortcut and went to properties. Then compatibility mode tab. I ran compatibility test and it said it had a solution. I checked it in game and I could paint walls and I placed a computer with no screen going black! So I kept the settings and so far things are working great. I'm going to play the game today and see if it all runs smoothly.
How crazy!
I really was thinking I would never find a solution! Thank you for all your help guys!
That's good to hear. Let us know how it goes.

I think that did it. No problems at all with a black screen. So happy it is fixed. Thanks for all the help.
