sims 4 screen keeps turning black
My Sims 4 game keeps flickering black. I had no problems with the game two days ago, but now it keeps flickering, making it impossible to play the game. I have repaired the game in Origin, I used the program linked in this thread to check whether or not my computer was up to date for the Sims 4 and it said everything met the minimum and the recommended, and I tried removing my mods folder and opening up the game again to see if that would help (it didn't). I'm using a PC and my Sims 4 isn't on laptop mode, does anybody know what to do to help this?
Have you tried updating your graphics drivers, turning off Origin in-game, playing in Windowed mode and clearing game cache?
