My the sims 4 have jagged edges even with ultra graphics

My the sims is as if a "edge smoothing" setting is disabled, I tried all the methods I found in the English and Portuguese forums. I tried on the nvidia control panel, repair the game, reinstall, take out CC among other things. My the sims never had this problem, I came back from vacation now in February and updated the game and it looks like this. Even the volume of the game that I lower on the PC, if I turn off the game and turn it back on it comes back at high volume.

  • @juji1  Just to be clear, within the Nvidia Control Panel's Manage 3D Settings > Program settings tab, you selected TS4_x64.exe (not TS4.exe, that's the 32-bit version), set "Antialiasing - Mode" to "Override any application setting," then tried all the options under "Antialiasing - Setting" in turn, and none of them made a difference?  Is this true with edge smoothing both off and on?  Please also try enabling the "Antialiasing - FXAA" setting once you've set the CP to override application settings.

    If those settings don't or didn't make a difference, do you have any third-party applications running that have anything to do with game performance, e.g. MSI Afterburner or Asus GPU Tweak?  If you have anything at all, or if you're using a program and you're not sure whether it might interfere, try disabling it before you play.  It should be enough to find it in the Task Manager, possibly in the background processes list, and End Task.

  • @juji1  Try deleting options.ini from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.  The game will create a new version of the file the next time you load it, which may (or may not) help with the edge smoothing and sound issues.  Let me know about both.

    For the edge smoothing issue, what options exactly did you try changing in the Nvidia Control Panel?  The approach I'd suggest would be to disable edge smoothing within the game options and then enable anti-aliasing within the Control Panel.  Within the CP, click Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings, choose TS4_x64.exe, and try each anti-aliasing setting you have.

    If that doesn't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    I already tried all this options and still have this graphic problem. About the dxdiag I'll post here.
