@Emily4331 I'm sorry you can't get Reshade to work... :pensive: I can totally understand your frustration! :confounded:
If you find that certain settings in Nvidia Freestyle help to keep the pixelation and banding away please let us know. ?

So everyone, since nothing can be done to fix this mess (until Windows fixes it... ? ) I've told myself to think positive about it and do whatever I can to make do with the pixel blocks and banding issues; using little tricks to keep them from being so noticeable. ?
People mentioned doing this earlier as a quick fix for the plain walls (I'm sure will work on plain clothes too) so I went ahead and did that. :) I wrote down what the color numbers were for the current colors on the wall and made sure to apply those when I added a more textured look on the wall choosing swatches from the "Paint" category. I always loved using plain color swatches, with no texture, in the "Misc" category, but for now, I gotta let those go.
Here's some before and after pics. (I'm so sad how nasty the bands and pixel blocks look on my plain walls now! :confounded: Y'all can see it right?)
Here's Shane's room with the plain wall that I shared earlier:

Now after I changed the wall texture:

Voila! :smiley:
Looks good huh? I'd say even better! :mrgreen:
Same example here in Alex's room.

Boo ya! :star:
You can still see lines on the white parts where the different "panels" meet, but oh well...no one really looks at the molding anyway. Right? :confused:
:lol:
I have been seeing many more of these weird lines showing up on beds and sims clothing, particularly at the base of some shirts where their belly button is...

^If any of you affected are experiencing those lines too please let me know. If not, it could be a mod I have, but I doubt it.
But yeah I've just decided to be positive about this from now on because I don't need any more stress in my life. (I think we all don't...) And it's hard...I'm not saying it's going to be an easy mindset to have in this case. And I don't look down on anyone at all for still being upset about it - I am deep inside too - but mostly I just want to find joy in my game again and not allow this unfortunate Windows update to bring me down. I got a story to write! :star: I can't let this ruin my happiness in playing it out and writing it, which I found it was doing. :(
Do share any changes you've made to help your game look a little better and then we can all try them in our games! :blush: Let the happiness abound!
{{{{Hugs}}}} to you all! <3
