Sims turning black/dark when entering a building

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem and I hope someone can help me!
When my Sim is outside, she looks normal. But when she enters her house or any other building, she becomes black/dark. I tried to change my settings, but nothing works!

Hope someone can help me!

    Hi,

    I played with laptopmodus on and off, but nothing changes.

    Here's my DxDiag (I hope I did it right):

    Try checking of your graphics drivers are up-to-date.

    You might wanna reinstall them. Your dxdiag shows a bit weird for your drives (no date, version shown)

    I just set my laptopmodus off, restarted the Sims 4. Now my Sim was a normal colour, but everything was blurry.

    So I set my laptopmodus on again and suddenly everything looks great (I didn't restart my Sim after I set laptopmodus on again).

    But I'm afraid, if I restart it again, my Sim will become black/dark again. That's what happened last time. So I have no idea what is going on.

    And what do you mean with 'your dxdiag shows a bit weird for your drivers'? 

    (I'm sorry if my English is not that great, I'm Dutch ;-))

    Normally the DxDiag gives you your graphics drivers date and version. For you all I see is n/a and a weird character instead of a date.

    Don't think it's a lanuage issue.

    Just play around with the settings if it happens again.
