[FIXED] [SV] Extremely Pixelated Grass Textures

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.73.57.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them except Journey to Batuu and no kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enter live mode and travel to any world with grass. It's most prominent in Strangerville. It doesn't seem to happen in build/buy mode for some reason though.
What happens when the bug occurs? The grass is incredibly pixelated, like 8-bit looking.
What do you expect to see? The normal grass I had before that wasn't pixelated at all.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

Only the grass that belongs in the world is messed up though, if I use terrain paint there's no issues.

    @Strangelyyy I have that same problem everywhere, I though it was because of my graphic card, but a fix was done at some point and the grass in Strangerville looks awsome now. But I still have those pixelated weird green/purple/pink pixels on dark objects, like the black umbrellas, the black fridges, dark green fridges, dark blue, dark brown walls etc... Its not always everything that looks weird, for example, some new clothes, all black from certain packs are a true very beautiful black and not pixels appearant at all, but other clothes, like one of the top from my wedding story in black, for males, if you look in the back, there are those weird pixels showing... It really difficult to know whats the issue. I have an Nvidia card, could it be that?? Or is it the quality of each objects, since its not on every objects... and the grass in Strangerville have been fixed for me at least.

    As good example of that problem is the top of the shelving unit from the Blooming room kit. If you look at the top, you can see the weird pixelated circle of colors. I will try to find a picture from my game. Also the toilet stalls we have from different EP, shows huge circles or pixels in and out of the stalls.

    I have the exact same problem for some time now. I dont remember when it started, but I see pixelated grass like that everywhere and also on dark surfaces, mainly black, dark grey and dark brown. I can see very pixelated colors and the grass is the exact same problem. I update my graphic card when ever there is an update poping. 

    Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti

    I hope its not just seasons because thats not a quality texture, even for seasons experience, it should not be that bad, and it was not like that previously, but for sure seasons ruined many grasses colors in the processes, but never like that.

    No uncompressed texture is on for me, and it does nothing with this. Also, I believe the uncompessed textures option is only for sims. I always played with uncompessed texture and the grass was not like that long ago even in winter.

    After the patch yesterday, it seems fixed. Ill check other textures, but the grass in strangerville is fixed for me!! here is the proof. Just the grass texture, no weird pixels saturated grass.

    I also notice that the black umbrella textures seems fixed too, I was glad to see no more purple and green pixels on black umbrella, it probably, ill check other problematic colors in game.

    I hope you guys can see the circles of pixels inside, there are several objects with this issue in game.

    @Francoisf30 Since this thread was about grass and didn't have any response since 2021, it's best if you create a new thread for your new issue.

    Checked this in my game and SV looks fine for me too so I'm going to lock this as fixed.
