SOLVED - Censor Pixels Have Glitched - Anyone else?

Hi all!

I didn't want to make a specific AHQ thread with this because I don't know if there's a simple fix that I'm missing.

My sims' censor pixels have started glitching within the last week, but it was before the new patch came out. Most of the time, the pixels are mostly a solid wall of color or turn green for some reason? Check out the screenshot below for a "solid color" example:

To troubleshoot, I tried 50/50 my mods until they were all removed, deleting the localthumb file each time. No dice. I also tried repairing my game. Nothing changed.

Any advice? Anyone else having this problem? It's not a huge deal, but it's distracting.

    Are your video card drivers up to date? They can cause weird visual glitches like this.
    Maybe repairing the game will help as well if you haven't already done that.

    Thank you so much! Updating my graphics card driver did the trick! Turns out I was several updates behind. Thanks for the suggestion, I wouldn't have thought of it myself!

    Yup! I removed everything from my mods folder entirely and deleted the .localthumbcache before loading in to test it out. I will try it once more to be sure.

    Edit:
    Still glitching with mod folder entirely removed (note bald Sims), Origin completely closed, and localthumb deleted before loading in. More photos in spoiler below.
