Re: Re: The Sims 3- Pixelated Shadows

@Onverser  I've split your post into its own thread since the other thread was so old and didn't have any relevant info.  There's no bright line for what constitutes a necro, but past about two years, threads generally get locked.

Anyway, the pixellation is unavoidable to some extent: it has to do with how Sims 3 itself is programmed, and the game would likely need to be remastered with HD textures to address it.  However, I did see some improvement with the same issue by getting my graphics card recognized and getting rid of the texture memory override.  If you need help with this process, let me know.

If you have an Nvidia card, you can also set the driver to run Sims 3 with anti-aliasing enabled.  This also doesn't get rid of the pixellation but can help with rough edges more generally, so the shadow effect might not be as obvious.
