Sims 4 is a life simulator game developed by EA and one of the most popular games of its genre. The Sims had a shaky audience: from excessive popularity to bad gameplay. However, at some point in the game, hundreds of Sims 4 players play.
Aún cuando es uno de los juegos más importantes que ha lanzado EA, parece que Sims 4 tiene algunos problemas. Uno de los problemas que preocupa a muchas persons es el «error de la tarjeta de video» que encuentran al intentar iniciar el juego o en cualquier fase. Este post explica todas las posibles causas de este problema y cómo solucionarlas.
However, when trying to play The Sims 4, I get a video card error:
“The Sims 4 cannot work with a graphics card on this system. Make sure the graphics card meets the minimum specifications and the latest graphics drivers are installed ”.
There are several reasons for this error:
- Problem with Origin in the game
- Your graphics drivers are out of date
- Do you have a system with two video cards?
- Your card does not meet the minimum requirements of the game
Disable Origin in-game
La característica de Origin es el llamado Origin en el juego. Puede comunicarse con amigos en el juego, transmitir su juego o tener acceso al browser from Internet.
Unfortunately, this feature can also cause problems. Thus, when fixing game issues, it may be important to disable Origin in-game.
You can disable it for all games or just for a specific game.

As mentioned in the reasons, there are cases where Sims 4 does not work in full screen mode. This may be due to internal parameters or an external factor that cannot be set. Usually after such a weird script, Sims 4 releases an update that fixes the problem. During the patch installation, you can try running the game in windowed mode and see if it works. We found many examples when the problem was completely resolved.
