What in game graphics do you play on?

Ultra.

I play on Very High, or I guess it's called Ultra now for everything since I got my new gaming desktop. For the first four years of TS4 I played on a mix of low/medium, laptop mode, integrated graphics, etc. on a notebook laptop that was 9 years old! o.O I still had a ton of fun though, but I'm SO glad/grateful to have my new computer. It's like an entirely different game to me now and I love it! <3

Ultra, but without uncompressed sim textures since that's apparently a memory hog. All Sims games are ugly on lower settings imo.

Ultra but no uncompressed sim textures. Causes lag (really good card and more memory than sims will ever need but oh well) and it makes such a tiny difference anyway. It couldn’t go back to the low/medium settings I used to have back a few months ago. I’m spoiled now.

I have mirror and vfx on medium and edge smoothing on low. Everything else is on high.

Ultra settings, since it's not listed here. Everything looks very gorgeous on Ultra settings as well from setting leaves fall to the light coming through the windows in homes as well as how the lights look at night.

High to Very High and Laptop Mode, according to the Graphics settings in my game.

Ultra or nothing. That's how I roll.

I want to play on high, but I'm forced to use a mixture due to lag. I keep my sims and objects on high and the shadows and other settings on medium and low. It's a decent balance until I upgrade my rig with a better graphics card.

? woooow what graphics cards/computers are you people using to get these results?! I had no idea the game could look this amazing! My laptop is older, so I play with mostly everything on low. When I play a large lot or big family, I also have to lower the distance view. Kudos on all your amazing screenshots though. Just. Wow.
