I began having this problem today.  For the last several weeks, I've been playing Sims 4 on my laptop, but today received the message that it cant run with the video card in this system.  I turned off origin in game and this didn't help.  I uninstalled and reinstalled origin and this did not help.  I updated my drivers and this did not help.  Can you give me any advice?

I know it's an old thread, but I spent hours Google-researching and even spent time with EA/Origin technical support trying to figure out the issue--NOTHING worked. I, too, received the "Cant run Sims 4 with the video card" error. I have a very capable video card (Radeon RX 480), and through my own digging, discovered that this issue is commonly caused by Windows 10 complications. Specifically, I believe it is a Microsoft Visual C++ issue when running it on Windows 10. Some people have success uninstalling/reinstalling the redist files in the _Installer or vc > vc2013 folders, but I did not. I gave up, but hours later did one last search to try to rectify this issue. I came across this VERY helpful page with a list of several tips. Please seek it out and don't give up! The specific issue that worked for me was this: 

Solution 8 – Change the command-line arguments

  1. Start the Origin.
  2. Go to My Games section and right click Sims 4.
  3. Choose Properties.
  4. Find the Command-Line Arguments textbox and enter this:
  5. -w und
  6. Click Apply to save your changes.

    I don't know quite enough to know what this does or why this particular fix was successful; maybe someone else can figure it out. But it definitely worked for me. I'm going to post it everywhere I can and hopefully others can be helped in the future! I'm so excited to finally play the Sims again. Standard smile
