Pixels almost everywhere, green/pink, rainbow on objects etc...

Good day everyone, I come here instead of the Bug report section, cause I think my problem could be my graphic card or PC. I play the sims 4 since a long time now, and previously I had an issue with pixelated grass, but it at some point have been fixed or may be it was an Nvidia update on my graphic card that did the trick, cause I could not remember having seen a patch note for the sims 4 saying they corrected the pixelated grass in some worlds.

So today my issues is with almost every objects or paints/floor having this weird green/pink pixels texture and sometime it takes a rainbow form, like inside of the cabinet from Dream Home Decorator. You can see the pixels on a lot of objects, but some objects/swatches are worse and worse, I don't think it was always like that. The toilet stall from University being one very bad and also the fridge from the Country Kitchen kit and one of the base game fridge. At some point I started to notice it on some of the tiles from Spa day, the beige/brown/dark blue are the worse or black. I don't know if my eyes are just more used to see it now or if its possible that textures/reflectivement break at some point, or may be its my graphic card setting? Its very complicated, but Ill put some exemple here, so may be someone understand what I mean.

You can see here on the sock, the green pixels at the top of the sock, where the vertical strips are and bellow. Also where the shoe is. A wall from base game, in the Caliente household, you can see the pixels everywhere. The fridges are very bad, Im not sure what cause this. The umbrella is really bad too and a default color. I hope someone can tell me whats wrong cause I feel its not supposed to be like that.

  • Unfortunately I can't really see anything wrong on your images. I can see the shading issue on the middle fridge, is that what you mean?

    Have you chaged the settings in your game to less powerful one's and see if that helps?

    @Coley666You dont see the purple and green pixels, not even on the umbrella? may be your blind lol, just kiding. Like its super visible and obnoxious to the eye. The sock is the hardest one to see, Ill grant you that but the others are quite easy. The fridges are stripped with green/purple pixels... weird that you cant see it. No I have not try to lower the graphic card setting overall or the game for that matter.

    Obviously I can't vouch for anyone else but if others can't see it it would suggest it's an issue with your computer as capturing a screenshot wouldn't necessarily capture image faults depending where they're originating from. I know taking a picture of the screen is difficult but perhaps that would give us a clearer image to see if it's an internal thing?

    Thanks for your reply, the thing is I dont see it like on my desktop or website, although I can see pixels a lot when looking at some video, but again its hard to judge from any video, since the quality can also be different from one another, it seems like it was not that bad few time ago, although I have notice the fridges and unbrella like that for some time. At some point, they fixed the pixelated grass in my game... I think it could be on their ends... or Nvidia pushing also some update which I always do. I don't know for sure, I hope there is a fix, cause any flat paint wall in the game right now just look like pixelated pudding lol. I have to always go for lighter color, otherwise its super visible, me that like dark colors. dawm it!

    Sorry if I've misunderstood, but is it just in game you're seeing it? It would suggest settings, or like you've said, Nvidia.
