Does anyone know how to fix dark screen issues with the sims 3, this only happens when the game is in full screen it does not happen when the game is in window mode, this never happened with my old laptop so im not really sure what is causing it. Here are some screenshots are what it looks like in full screen compared to window mode.[img][/img]

Just tried turning it off but it’s made no difference is still dark while it’s on full screen.
Even with it set to 1080p and 60hz it’s still dark when it’s in full screen, it doesn’t do this when it’s in window mode. [img][/img]
I’ve just checked that, it says my resolution is set to 1920x 1080 on the display settings.
I also never had this issue on my old computer and that was also windows 10, so not really sure why it’s doing it on this one.
I know you said it didn't work but it's important that the game is not running when you make the change. It seems an Origin update caused this for TV users.

The game wasn’t running when I turned it off, I launched the game after turning it off. I don’t play the game on Origin I play it on steam so I know Orgin wouldn’t be the problem.
When you changed your game settings to 1080p full screen 60 hz, Did you quit the game and restart it after? Also go into the game and change options in game, not in the initial launcher.
2 - More likely though, this is a recent Win 10 Creators Update related thing. One way to get relief from what I've read is to always be in Windowed Mode but use the Widowed Borderless Gaming app.

It’s the same when it’s running on the battery, plus it’s been like this since I got my laptop well back in October 2017 and have never known how to fix the problem.
You can't game on battery. you need more power while gaming and have to game plugged in ,
It’s always plugged in when I’m gaming on it, so it won’t run out during gaming and to get the maximum performance.

I’ve just tried that window borderless gaming app, and it seems to have put the game in full screen mode and has made it alot brighter now, I will have to use that until I can find a fix. It only does this on sims 3, it doesn’t do it on any other games.
