Did the graphics get an update?

Hey guys,

I recently saw 1-2 people on the forum saying they're pretty sure the graphics got an update with Eco lifestyle. Personally I don't think this is true. Did anyone of you notice any upgrades?

  • I really hope they go back and update some of the base game and (GTW, if they’re feeling generous) textures, specifically hairs.
  • The lighting has definitely changed, there's more contrast and effects, and there's more of a tiltshift effect.
  • Maybe it has to do with the Eco Lifestyle states? It’s been set up so the green and (possibly) neutral states appear sharper than the industrial one?

    I haven’t been playing since the patch so I’m just making a guess.

    But overall, the graphics are Definitely Improved,I notice every detail on my sim now, and their outfits and hair, they look so amazing.


    @Tony89 They did upgrade the graphics in like 2017 or something but they also told us. If they had done it this time I am sure they would say something. There cannot be better graphics but same performance. If they do upgrade them, there will be a difference in perfomance, that is just how it works.


    Well they did resolve the issue for Mac users with the new June patch that resolved the black squares underneath our sims when ultra graphics were set in settings, so maybe now that I’m able to play on ultra settings finally without the black square glitch, that I’m able to enjoy the graphics better now.
  • No I dont think so, it's just a sunrays from different angle thats why it looks good on the pict, mine also looked as good as that even before EL.
  • I noticed when I was updating my seeds collection that the flowers and fruits seemed to have deeper colours and more details, also I never realy noticed the breezes but they seem to be connected to more objects so its more noticeable. Or I just played sims medieval too long and now sims 4 looks more spectacular lol :D
  • I cannot confirm if it looks better than before but I have recently been admiring the graphics and the sunlight shining through my windows in the evening. Looks super good.
