    @dlgowjd05  Please force Windows to use the Nvidia graphics card for Sims 4.  Hit Windows key-i, select System > Display > Graphics settings, click Browse, select TS4_x64.exe, and choose the high-performance option.  Restart your computer and test.

    If you still get flickering, repeat the process, except this time, choose the power-saving option, i.e. the integrated Intel graphics chip.  Let me know whether this makes any difference.

When is the last time you updated your video driver?

Sometimes companies that make the drivers will update for specific game issues or general issues in the technology. On occasion if a company updates a game and uses a new feature in the driver or such, older drivers can act quirky.

Just be sure to get the driver from the legit company that makes the hardware and none of those "drivers" sites.

    I also thought that would be the problem. I updated it yesterday, but I still have that problem.
