Does your game start with DX9 or DX11 (you can tell by the exe name in the task manager).

 

Also you have lots of errors with this: OmenCap.exe .. if you have this software running in the back, try turning it off before playing.

    I think it is a dx12. I’m not sure if this helps or not.

      That's just what your computer is capable of. To see what the game uses, open the task manager after you started the game.

      It looks like this is a bit of a techy issue and others in the tech forum have reported similar.

      I'm going to close this and ask you to post in the tech forum:   The Sims 4 Technical Issues - PC | EA Forums 

      There might already be similar threads there.
