Flickering Shadow Sims 4

Hello everyone, I have modified the GraphicsRules file in the sims folder, and the shadows have started to jump.
This happens when I turn off the SSAO (ambient occlusion)

for those who do not know the ambient occlusion gives shade to the objects:

the game runs at 60 fps stable without the ambient occlusion,but this happens

    Hi guys, Some modder can run the new lighting for numbercascade level 1 (GraphicsRules.sgr), Because when you change the value of interiorsunshadows to true, as ''medium'' shadows you see a bluish tint and the lighting seems not to touch the objects. Something like that:

    In numbercascade level 2 and interiorSunShadows true shadows don't match:

    La imagen puede contener: texto




    however in numbercascade level 3 and interiorSunShadows true shadows are perfect:
    La imagen puede contener: texto

    No hay texto alternativo automático disponible.

    Can you help me please?  I want this lighting in my windows, but my pc doesn't support the numbercascade level 3

    Hi @MikeeWolf,

    This is not an official workaround, so you should expect some strange things to happen. If you want to fully disable SSAO without modifying the GraphicsRules.sgr file, you should set your Illumination settings to low.

    Outside from that, all you're doing is under your own responsability, and understanding that some issues may arise
