UPDATE 9-2-20 Has your Sims 3 game been affected by the recent pixilation issues?

@ZeeGee @emorrill No problem. :) It's not a perfect solution, but it might be all we have while waiting for Microsoft to be competent.

Quick note: I forgot to mention in my last post that taking screenshots and videos with ReShade is a little different. The in-game screenshot and video recorder won't capture any ReShade effects onscreen, so you should instead use ReShade's screenshot key and a separate video capture program. I added a section with instructions in my other post.

Guess my question is, does Reshade cause your game to lag or crash?

So far I don't notice any lag with just Deband and SMAA on, but I'll keep playing around and let you guys know. Some of the more intense effects like depth-of-field take a minute to load and may make the game seem like it's crashing, but after it finishes loading the game still runs the same for me (typically hovering around 60 FPS). If ReShade does create problems, removing it is pretty simple and will restore the game back to normal.

I should mention I did manage to make ReShade completely bug out once while I was trying a bunch of different shader effects, and it made all my trees and hair visible through walls and Sims. I had to restart the game to fix it.

And also, will we need to turn off Antialiasing in our NVidia Graphics settings if we have it enabled in Reshade?

There's probably no need to turn off NVIDIA's antialiasing, but I did on mine because I thought having them both on would be redundant (and because I'm OCD). But even with both on, I don't notice any lag or other issues, so keeping it on seems okay.
