I'm glad someone has raised this as a specific issue for Xbox series S.
I upgraded to next gen after my Xbox one struggled with all the packs I had. I was hesitant about getting the series S but could not get a series X after months of trying and could not play my game.
At first it was great, very fast and very smooth gameplay. But as I added more packs it started to get unstable. Especially after cottage living. Sometimes the images become slow and shadowed if that makes sense. I'm also crashing and taking 3 attempts at least to load my game and I've reported that on the relevant feed and been in direct contact with the team.
I've also got a bug report in for a message I get about my graphics settings every time I play the Sims 4. On that thread, another player told me about this issue you've raised here.
I'm bitterly disappointed in the whole situation after the amount of money spent.
@simsplayer818 Are your graphics blurred as well I have a friend who is on series s and her Sims are blurred like the skin tones tattoos and makeup it looks horrible.
@Rachelharris31It happens occasionally but not all the time. The whole game starts to get a bit of a lag with it too. 95% of the time I'd say it looks ok. I upgraded my tv and WiFi at the same time as my Xbox so I didn't know which of the 3 was causing the blurring.
