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 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!
EA StaffHi @sassycotton,
Let's try to find why your screen turns black when you select something in build mode!
Have you already tried any suggestions in this thread? Like updating your Windows and your drivers? If you turn off Origin in game, it still doesn't work? (You can do that right clicking on the game, choosing Game Properties and selecting the option to disable it)
Let us know if that helps, or if you have already tried that 😉

I uninstalled it for right now but could you teach me how to do the other things please?
