Did you use the Graphics Rule Maker? Sims 2 isn't too great at detecting newer video cards without it.

First download the file in step 3 for Nvidia and if that don't fix it for you then also get the rule maker. http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=5446

Your game is not using your graphics card and or needs the 4 gb patch. Redo the graphic rules, make sure you are doing both the config and SCconfig. the 4 gb patch can come off, so just because you did it once doesn't mean you still have it. or you could have done both wrongly.

Check under Documents>The Sims 2>Logs folder and look at the config-log.txt file.
Memory and free memory needs to read 4096MB
Under that look for:
Name (driver): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Name (database): GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Vendor: NVIDIA
(I have the same graphics card so I took this from my own txt file.)
