    If that doesn't help, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

  • I have the same problem and I never added any mods. I've updated and repaired. Doesn't work at all. The screen turns white and then black and I have to restart the computer to be able to do anything at all. Just recently updated my computer too so everything are supposed to be all fine, but The Sims 4 wont work...
