Re: The DirectX11 commands doesn't make the option to appear in The Sims 4 game

So, once my Dad do this..  

I will be able to see the option in game? 

To be clear, there are no new graphical settings in the game due to this change.

The game is simply rendered in DirectX 11 instead of DirectX 9, the only change you see in the beginning is the new DirecX version displayed in the bottom right corner of your screen:

The real changes are all "under the hood", meaning that the more modern API DirecX 11 (Application Programming Interface) offers advantages over DirecX 9 that are executed automatically.

(hardware-based tessellation, multithreading support, DirectCompute, new shader models to name a few.)

    Ohh okay, I thought we could toggle in / off this feature once we typed in the commands (on the EA App and the shortcut) to be able to see them function properly.

    But yeah, I will take a look at what you said once I open my game in the next few hours.

    Thank you so much, once again!
