Re: Sims 4 Jagged lines

Still jagged lines on low settings and no updates for my Graphics card ☹️

@meddanponjevic  Do you play in fullscreen, borderless ("windowed fullscreen" is what Sims 4 calls it), or windowed mode, and does the game look better in the other modes?  What resolution are you playing on, and if it's not the same as your monitor's native resolution, does the game look better on the native res?  Do you have any custom settings in the Nvidia Control Panel or any other applications that influence graphics at all?

Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

I'm terribly sorry for my late response!

I've tried in all the modes but they all look the same, so I stick with fullscreen now. 

I play in 1920x1080 which is the native resolution for my monitor.  For my Nvidia Control Panel, I saw in other forums and tried changing: 

''Open up Nvidia control panel and click on 3D settings - Adjust image settings with preview. Select Quality over performance.

Next click - manage 3D settings. Click on Program settings, "select a program to customize " and select Sims 4 and add.

Under 2, you can specify settings for the program. I select the best settings (highest) for the game, texture filtering - quality.''

I changed back and forth with other Nvidia settings but no change, so I reset them all and it still looks the same 

@meddanponjevic  When you were adjusting settings in the Control Panel, did you use TS4.exe or TS4_x64.exe to create the profile for Sims 4?  The first is for the 32-bit, now Legacy Edition of the game; the second is the .exe the standard version uses.  So any settings made with TS4.exe wouldn't apply to your game.

Having said that, you shouldn't need any special settings in the CP to make Sims 4 look a lot better than it does in your screenshots.  Try playing in a clean user data folder: move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet, and don't change any of the graphics settings; just see how the game looks in a new save, and let me know.

If you see the same jagged llines in a clean folder, please try playing in a clean boot:

You'll also need to go through the Task Manager's background tasks list and close anything that isn't disabled.  Certain apps, everything from MSI Afterburner to RGB apps, are sometimes still running in a clean boot, so it's best to check manually and end anything that doesn't absolutely have to be open.  That includes any MSI software such as Dragon Center.

@meddanponjevic  That's interesting.  What was the setting before, and is this in the program settings or global settings?  It would be useful to know exactly which setting(s) you changed, in case this issue shows up again.
