I am also having this issue after the 6/26 patch and was not before. I also am still unable to water plants despite the "fix".
I do not own seasons.
I don’t actually know if I’m supposed to open a new topic or post here. But my game was running perfectly fine after Season patch, however, after they released the Fix patch on June 26th my game started having some of the problems that were supposed to be fixed. The grass is so green that it’s actually blinding, I’ll include a picture but I don’t think it shows it as bright as it is ! Also, the wallpaper issue. It’s so bad that I spent fifteen minutes painting the outside of a small house, it’s ridiculous and frustrating ! The whole build mode is lagging, but wallpaper is the worst !
I’m playing on a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, late 2015) running macOS High Sierra, with a AMD Radeon R9 M380 2048 Mo graphic card.
My game and computer are fully updated. I repaired the game, removed The Sims 4 folder and generated a new one with no CC and it’s still happening.
My settings (written in French, but basically they're on high) :
The green grass (plus, it was a rainy day so the outdoor lighting wasn't the brightest) :
PS : The picture is of Brindleton Bay but I checked the other worlds and it's the same, Oasis Spring is the worst though, the contrast with the sand is terrible (also the sand is very orange).
@Pixellarious About the wallpaper lag: There is a post about a workaround suggested by Simguru Nick for this in another topic on here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-Extreme-Lag-When-placing-wallpaper-on-walls/td-p/6872282/page/9 (scroll down to Crinrict‘s last entry on that page) This might work for you.
My graphics in the game improved sometime last week, probably after the patch. Got on today and it may be worse than before, even the atmosphere is gloomy.
And by worse I mean back to dull, and almost dead looking grass.
