grainy texture on sims and more

There's a grainy texture that will appear randomly on my Sims and other objects in the game. I keep changing the game settings but nothing seems to work. Please help!

    @playerflolifer    Hello!  That looks like something caused by outdated or incompatible CC.  If you're using any CC on these sims, perhaps try removing the CC from your folder (you can move it to a folder on your desktop for safekeeping).   Exit the game if you haven't already, move your CC out, and delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder.  Then run a game repair.  After the repair has finished running completely, launch the game and see if the grainy texture is still there.  Please come back and update whether or not this worked.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I did everything you asked but should I maybe leave the mod folder in when I repair it? not sure but thanks for the start.

    @playerflolifer   Just to clarify, you moved the mods folder out, deleted that localthumbcache file and then ran the repair before launching the game to test, is that correct?

      @JonaO703 It worked! The one difference I made was putting the mods folder in my document folder and then moving them back to the Sims 4 folder after the repair. tysm!

        @playerflolifer  Excellent!  I'm so glad you were able to figure that out.  Happy Simming! :-)
