Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover university, island living, get famous, seasons, cats and dogs, city living, get together, get to work, parenthood, dine out, spa day, outdoor retreat, laundry day, movie hangout, cool kitchen, and the sims 4 holiday, and also the legacy edition.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don’t know. As soon as the game starts up, it just glitches and it does it in cas, start up screen, just everywhere
What happens when the bug occurs? Everywhere in the game (start-up, cas, in-game)
What do you expect to see? I expect to not see marks in the screen going across my screen and my game to not glitch
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I haven’t played my game since February because of school, so I just updated my game and now everytime I open the game, it glitches everywhere I go. In game, cas. And the start up screen, as well the loading screen.
These are the pictures of my start up screen on the sims, and this excludes cas, in game, and loading screen.

I think it's a graphic card problem, but I don't know how to check it.
I can advice you to check your graphic card drivers though.

Your PC is below minimum requirements for the game. Try to reduce graphics to low setting and maybe enable laptop mode as well. See if that helps.

Your PC fail in Graphics (too little dedicated RAM) And while you on the surface have enough RAM you have to share this with the graphics meaning that you really don't have enough RAM for the game but try the suggestions I gave you.

@jpkarlsenso do I have to buy a whole new computer just for the game to work properly? Is there a way to clear space for RAM?

You have an All-in-one. This means that it is practically impossible to upgrade anything with the possible exception of RAM and the HDD. You can see in the manual if it is possible to upgrade it and if it is what type of RAM you need to buy. But even if that is possible don't expect it to be a miracle cure as the most limiting thing is the graphics which you can not upgrade.
