    My Sims 4 game got stuck in windowed mode for some reason. It had the same weird glitching, twitching, and fade up like a powerpoint issue. Here is how I solved it:

    I opened up the options.ini file in the Sims 4 folder of My Documents.

    I changed it from reading "fullscreen=0" to "fullscreen=1".

    Relaunched the game in fullscreen mode.

    PRESTO- problem solved. For some reason, my computer doesn't like running it in windowed mode!!! Guess it is only happy on fullscreen LOL

    Let me know if this helps!

You probably have an outdated mods.

Check if your mods have been updated and if not, remove them. There's no other way.
