I have black lines on my items in my game

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Black lines form on items

Most custom content is like that.
Do I have to update when the app comes up with an update.
Will it damage my laptop.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

@riccwen Mods and CC should not damage your laptop just because they're outdated / broken. However, depending on how various mods and CC affect the game, they do have the potential to damage your saves. It's a good idea to check for updates regularly, especially when EA releases game updates and/or you notice issues while playing.
As for your original question, do you mean you tried using the settings I suggested but still see the lines in your CC items? Also, do you mean that you are seeing these lines in most of the CC you are using?
I did a little more research and wondered if you could go back to the NVIDIA control panel and try changing the Antialiasing - Mode to Enhance the application setting. Also, perhaps try changing the Antialiasing - Setting to 4x or 8x, to see if there is a difference. One other thing to try is adjusting the Anti-Aliasing - transparency settings and Anisotropic filtering settings. It may take some time and testing to see which configuration works for your system but, from what I've seen so far, playing around with these settings is likely your best bet for fixing the lines issue.
