Black screen, with sound and cursor Empty Black screen, with sound and cursor

Hi, 

I've downloaded this sims 4 download : https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLIEvDhusa6sF-tvRTcfk3AM6paUH2KYfD&v=lWOiFH-ZQVw

But when I start the game I get a black screen. I can hear the sims sounds, so the game starts and I see the sims cursor but I only see a black screen. I've already tried updating windows and I've updated my drivers, and I've changed my values like simarchitect told me but that didn't work. The screen just becomes bigger. 

Also: The sims 4 used to work on my laptop, but I've gotten a bigger hard drive and they've updated my Windows to Windows 10, can this have something to do with the black screen? 

Thank you in advance!

Go to Documents\Electronic Arts and move The Sims 4 folder to desktop. This will start the game fresh, you can move saves back later. If that doesn't solve the problem, run the validator (in quick scan mode) and post the result here.

Sadly that didn't work. My videocard is still the same, and the game used to work. I only changed my laptop to windows 10 and I've gotten a bigger hard drive. My sims 3 game is also acting up. After the loading page it freezes or stops! Does this have something to do with Windows 10?

Nope, works fine for me on Win 10. This might be something with folder ownership. Try this:
Code:
    Folder Properties / Security / Advanced
    Owner (Change) > Include all sub-folders and inheritables
On both installation folder and the one in documents.

Do I change ownership to my own name or to administrator? And how do I include all sub-folders and inheritables?

Your own name. And when you change it there will be a checkbox to change it for subfolders too.

No idea then. Try making a copy of that folder and starting a game from that copied folder.
