Sorry if it doesn't work.
@l2iah Please try playing in a clean boot:
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot your computer, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down any service that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example anything from MSI Afterburner to RGB software might still be enabled. If you accidentally kill a critical process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again.
Don't open anything other than Sims 4 and the EA App while testing, not even a browser window.
This isn't a fix but a diagnostic step to see what changes, if anything. So please let me know what you see.
If your graphics are still blurry, try increasing the graphics setting for Sims and/or enabling Edge Smoothing. if it makes performance worse, fine, let me know; this is just an experiement.
Hi!
I apologize for the late reply. I tried what you said and I think (?) the game looks better. Not quite how I want it but decent.
The first photo is what it looked like after I rebooted my computer, the second one is what it looked like after I changed all of my graphics to high.
@l2iah You can try running the game in DirectX 11 mode if you want, although be prepared for performance to be worse (it's hit or miss at this point):

It's fine to switch back if you're not happy with the results.
Aside from that, I think your best option here is to keep the graphics settings on high, at least the ones you care about, and lower the others as necessary. I would avoid laptop mode and post processing. The former messes with all kinds of textures; the latter adds some blurriness at a distance for a sense of depth but also increases the game's demands.
Thank you! This fixed my game.
