Blurry/grainy textures and poor Edge smoothing

The only thing im a bit disapointed about is the texture quality on both sims and objects especially on sims faces. Even for a console game it feels very blurry low res. Also edge smoothing on things like counters, doors and tvs seems pretty jaggy. I would have thought playing on a pro would be a benifit for this due to boost mode. When you look at the screenshots used to market the game prior to launch and the released game itself the graphics quallity again texture wise and edge smoothing isnt as high as the images used to advertise, same for the missing 2016 lighting update which is present in the advertised screenshots being used to sell the game, its just a bit disapointing. I hope these thing get improved as overall its an awesome game and other then the low textures and jaggies the game looks amazing and im having lots of fun playing.
  • The game has shit performance so I would actually want a visual downgrade instead. Since the lighting update it lags and stutters so much so I want them to fix it somehow, downgrade or whatever.

    I agree about performance it has got pretty bad for me to the point that its constantly stuttering and lagging, sims just stand around for a while before they acknowledge the action i have assigned them. But it was doing that before the lighting update. Having said that it is a console and there is only so much processing power available. Its probably never going to play as smooth as silk like it does on pc due to the consoles hardware. I don't think anyway but i could be wrong, hopefully the devs can prove me wrong with that. I would like to see the game optimised for the pro and x as i feel like they can run it better and more smoothly, i bet the x can at the very least and from what i have seen from youtube videos the game plays better on xbox then on PlayStation anyway.
  • I noticed something tonight with Texture in Myshuno. The city lights are blurry in the distance but use the free camera or whatever it's called they become much sharper. I hope that they can make it like that for the normal camera in the game.

    Another thing I've noticed is the outdoor lighting is dim even at noon. This is something else I'd love to see fixed. There is no setting in the game on the console to brighten the light. Note I'm on PS4.
  • So PS4 Pro and the Xbox 1 got better textures and a faster framerate in the update today however the PS4 which I have that isn't a Pro didn't. Hope that's coming in a future update.
  • So, I noticed after purchasing some DLC that the female shirts no longer smooth to the body type. They look low res, and change the body shape to look BOXY like Lara Croft in the ORIGINAL "Tomb Raider"... ON THE ORIGINAL PLAYSTATION. Who was the lazy schmuck that put out half finished product in the DLC, and who is the Lead Designer who OK'd shoddy shirt meshes to slide through to the end consumer? I'm literally angry with these last DLC purchases, because CAS is where I spend most of my time, since I rebuild every game I start by evicting the generic sims and replacing them with singles and families I create myself. The turtlenecks and some jackets in "Seasons", as well as pretty much EVERY shirt from the "Spa Day" pack look BOXY. Is this only a console problem? Is anyone else having the problem? Myself and my lady are both having the same problem, on 2 different XBOX One's.
