Grainy/pixelated hair?
Hi everyone, I have a question about my graphics in the sims 3. My game runs fine, no problems there. But when I edit my sim in CAS (as well as in game it's also noticable) my sims hair seems ...

Turning off Anisotrophic filtering does fix it but I refuse to use that option when it makes playing the game look ugly. I have fiddled with the antialiasing settings in the control panel but nothing has made the grainy hair pixels go away. I only got this computer in November and never seen this sort of graphical problem before, even though my graphics card (GTX 1060 6GB) is recognised and way way better than the 630 I had before. All of my options are on high, including edge smoothing. I am now updated to the latest driver 390.77 with no change
From what I can tell, the problem started at the beginning of February. That's when I downloaded Nraas StoryProgression_Extra and StoryProgression_Career. I have taken them out, and all of the other cc I downloaded this month, just in case there was a confliction but things are still the same. I have reset my settings in game, restarted and turned them back up but it's still the same.
The grainy part as you can see appear on the shiny part of the hair. It appears in all saves. Sometimes it's less with cc hair, but still noticeable. In game I couldn't notice it as much. :confused:

I started a test game on an empty world and I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid now but everything just looks a bit more jagged from afar even though my anisotropic filtering is back at 16x. It's more noticeable around the green chairs.

I feel like something between my graphics card and the game is conflicting but I'm not sure what to do about it now. Igazor helped me match my card to GeForce GTX 480, so it's not that. I'm out of ideas :confounded:
Can someone upload their NVIDIA Control Panel settings for me? Since getting this computer I have never changed anything but I just want to check if I'm missing something here.
Edit to say: Even when I regenerate a brand new Sims 3 folder the problem is still there.
