EA: Please fix the white outline around pets.

The thin white outline is a result of anti-aliasing. This is mostly only noticeable on white, beige, light tan, and light gray pet coats. Some more than others, depending on the texture of the fur (curly vs straight) and the size and shape of the animal. It will also be more prominent the higher you set the fur density, and may be more or less noticeable depending on the pattern/color of the background behind the pet and how zoomed in you are. If you turn off edge smoothing the white outline will go away, but the graphics will be poor as the edges of all objects will be jagged. Hopefully in the future after EA fixes the fluff issue for all supported cards, they can work on refining this small issue. After I finish writing an update summary for all the graphics cards on the no fluff list, I will take a closer look at this issue to see if anything can be done via the catalyst control center. It's not just limited to the AMD/ATI cards though, I've seen this outline on the Nvidia cards too.

This is the best explanation I've seen for the issue and it seems to be only people with higher end graphics cards are having this issue.

My last pc didn't have this issue, but it had an integrated chipset. I'm now using a GTX 560 and experience this issue. Although it doesn't bother me at all.

edit: If I turn edge smoothing off and make sure the Nvidia control panel is set to use application settings when it comes to anti-aliasing, it does go away.
