Graphics Glitch in Screenshots
Hi! I'm having issues with my in-game screenshots. I have a new MacBook Pro (specs below). The in-game C key screenshots -- both CAS and in the game -- are coming out really glitched. They have this ...

I couldn't get the problem to duplicate again (after not being able to stop it - typical). I re-added my mods, saves, and tray files one by one back into the clean sims folder and don't seem to be having the problem anymore. The only thing I can remember doing since I got the new computer, other than fiddling with the graphics settings in the game, is editing the graphicscards.sgr file to add in my unrecognized graphics card (I was getting the "Unrecognized Video Card" error). That file is still in its edited state. Could choosing bad graphics settings be the culprit?
I haven't found the exact level of graphics settings that triggers the glitch, but that's definitely the issue. When I changed them all to the upper limit the glitch game back.
Switching the lighting setting from high to very high (all other graphics settings as high as possible) causes the glitch. With and without mods.

Well done on adding your card 🙂 If it was the in-game settings that triggered it that would explain why a new folder cleared it up, because the Options.ini file that stores your settings was recreated.
Intel Iris graphics are pretty weak so having your settings too high may be the issue although this is the first time I've seen the issue with the in-game screenshot function ever. So weird! I knew I'd have to take them down a bunch of notches, but I wanted to see how bad the lag was with them up high with the new computer. Thanks so much for your help! I never would have thought to regenerate that folder
