I just updated my sims 4 and this started happening when I opened my game. I have not played in months and I am desperate.
I have had a lot of problems with the sims before like the game crashing and not opening, but never this. This lines move and change. They appear on every screen - loading, menu, CAS and gameplay. When I say I have tried everything I can think of, I mean it... I have updated and removed mods, repaired my game, restarted my mac, restarted my sims but I don't know what else I can do.
Please help meeeeeeeeee!
That used to be an issue but was fixed at some point. I've merged your thread into this one. See the opening post on page 1 and apply the workaround to toggle fullscreen/windowed mode. If you could also post your full specs. that would be really helpful 🙂

Thank you sol much for adding me to this thread. It really helped! I put my game to windowed and it fixed. I also change the edge smoothing to low and now have it on fullscreen. It seems to be working so far! I attached my macs full specs anyway.
