Ambient Occlusion Not Working

Hello so I have always used nvidia game filter to make my game look better. All of a sudden with this latest update I can't turn on the SSAO filter anymore. I went into nvidia control panel and now it says ambient occlusion isn't supported for the Sims ?? What has happened? My game looks so flat without it

  • @Meilsess  TS4_x64.exe is the executable for the DirectX 11, which is selected in your screenshot; DirectX 9 uses TS4_DX9_x64.exe.  Is Ambient Occlusion available for the DX9 version of the game?  And have you installed today's patch?  It was supposed to fix a few issues with DX11.

    Please let me know what you find, and if this is in fact only a DX11 issue, I'll merge your post with the DX11 tech feedback thread.  In that case, please also attach a dxdiag, for reference.

    Here's another screenshot I selected the DX9 one and ambient occlusion still isn't available and yes I've installed todays patch

  • @Meilsess  Is your Nvidia graphics driver fully updated?  If not, try installing the newest available version.

    Other than that, I think this should be reported on the Nvidia forums, as it's something that would likely need to be changed at the driver level.
