Maybe your graphics card drivers are not up-to-date. Update your drivers directly from the Graphics Card website.
Try starting the game in windowed mode: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/How-to-start-The-Sims-4-in-Windowed-mode/m-p/3447611#M6959

Edit: I dont have the option to start it in windows mode :/ this is starting to * me off now

Try this:
These instructions are for Nvidia cards, but AMD cards should have something similar to a control panel.
1. Delete the Config.log file from the Sims 4 folder. [C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4]
2. Set the Nvidia card as default in Nvidia Control Panel.
3. Run the game to the Main Menu and exit the game.
4. Check the new Config.log file to see if it's detecting the Nvidia card.
