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 ...

Thanks @SimplyJen I really appreciate you trying to help. :smile:
I turned Multi-Frame Sampled AA on and changed my power management to maximum performance so I will see if that makes a difference. If you don't mind, what did you change in Inspector? I had a look at the settings there but didn't want to change anything just in case I messed everything up.
About the jaggedness, I'm used to seeing a bit of it, but the game was acting like I had edge smoothing off completely. It was really obvious around door frames, bookshelves and other objects like that. When I zoomed out I could still see all of the rough edges.
The thing is, now that I've noticed the pixels a lot more I have gone back into my screenshots and looked at pictures from last month and I can see them a little bit there too. But it was never as bad as it looks now. I did a quick test in a new game and couldn't really see anything in game either which is a relief.
Also noticing a bit lately that everytime I'm in game and I alt-tab or press the windows key to get to the desktop, the game crashes. Last week I was doing a lot of screenshots for a story and checking them as I went and didn't get any crashes, it's not normal for me so I'm not sure what's going on there. Also had a thing last night when a friend gave me a dozen or so pose mod files and I put them in my folder but repeatedly every time I tried to open the game it crashed before even loading to the main menu. It was kinda scary, but I haven't tried to solve that one yet. My first guess is that I have some of them already and the game doesn't like duplicate files.
Ok finally I feel like I'm in the mood to give this another try so I'll go in game and see how it plays. :smile:
