- ZeeGee1Seasoned HotshotAre you talking about THESE graphics issues? If you are then the only two things that we have found to help so far is the color banding option in Reshade (which can take some of the detail away at times) or @Emily4331 has some tweaks if you just want to take pretty pictures, but I think she said they are too intense for game play.

Most simmers don't want to do missions and/or gain points and/or puzzles, etc., etc. We want creativity options. Sigh. Maybe they are trying to pull in regular gamers, but they won't stay. They'll finish the tasks and go back to their other games. And this is from someone who has been addicted to Star Wars forever.
- Emily4331Seasoned Newcomer@Sharonia Edge smoothing is a setting in The Sims 3. You can see it is the second slider under details to the left:

I still get jagged edges around mine and I have my settings high.I don't think I've ever found a way to get rid of it 100%

I like star wars well enough.But its not a sims thing in my opinion. - Try playing in 1080p if you're not already, that helps with aliasing (or "jagged edges")
You could also try force graphics settings through your GPU drivers
I'm unfamiliar with Nvidia but they'll obviously have similar options, but for me I force enhanced anti-aliasing through RadeonPro, force v-sync, anisotropic optimization, texture filtering set to ultra etc.
You won't get magical results, there's only so much driver side enhancements can do and not all of them work but it definitely improves noticeably more for me.
On top of that you can hunt for HQ CC/Skins. - I'm not sure what I'm talking about. When I installed it last time everything appeared jagged on the edges. In TS4 there is a setting that solves this called Edge Smoothing but I can't seem to find an option like this in TS3.

Yeah I love the original Star Wars movies but it just doesn't belong in the sims period.
