Did you check both the settings for with the power cable and without.
Could you check if it makes a difference with or without the cable plugged in to the laptop?
(I do see someone else with this problem: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/Connectivity-issues/m-p/4415563#U4415563 wonder if it's a bug)
Yes, I checked the power plan settings several times and I tried switching them from balanced to performance. I checked and expanded everything and made sure things were at maximum or disabled. Without the game running, the laptop is fine. On battery or plugged in, the laptop goes to sleep. I just got the game a few days ago. I can't figure this. I Googled and I found lots of people are getting a black screen. Why and how the game can put the laptop to sleep has me beat. HAAAAALLLLPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.

There is someone that has a cheap mouse that gives the trouble. Really weird!
If that isn't it, maybe a more experienced person on this forum knows the answer you are looking for...
I tried an external keyboard and mouse, too. The machine goes to sleep in the middle of play. I think I have to give the game back and give up. A friend brought the MAC version with no issues. Everyone-who among you has seen this go-to-sleep behavior?
Here's something I found for Sims 3: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/86563.page
