Hi @Karritz
For some reason i thought you were playing your disc game without an internet connection. I understand trying to keep it simple I think it used to be but not so much anymore lol
this whole thing reminds me of Digital service TV apps working through my xbox one X where one digital service works fine and the other not and each service blaming various software issues mis-matching-)
My PC skills (or lack of-) have actually only been enhanced through the pain of trying to resolve issues in sims games but in turn it forced me to learn as much as possible (not a bad thing) however I do not consider myself a techie by any shape or form and am very grateful to all sims players (including yourself) that have have helped me along the way to keep my beloved games going.
That last Origin 1.69 S3 update did me in and then it slowly got worse after each subsequent upgrade of origin and windows 10 until i could no longer sustain a good enough S3 game and went over to discs.
I also contacted Microsoft themselves fully prepared to pay the ridiculous amount for the professional version of windows 10 if it only came with more controls such as holding off updates but they informed me even that version does not come with that functionality either so as I don't know any other way to hold the updates back I stuck with the version i already have.
I feel so sorry for players who love the game but are experiencing more and more issues however when I could no longer sort out my graphic issue I realised if I did not change over to disc soon I would be unable to play at all and that was unacceptable to me-) In fact my old desktop PC is stored away with the older specs just in case I need to tweak that at some point to play in the future if my current tech gets too new. I think somehow I will always find a way to play :)
Getting back on topic I know ZeeGee has spent a lot of time and effort developing her skills with the game for movie making purposes so I can understand the disappointment in trying to sort the texture detail when it looks as bad as the pic she posted..
