Re: The Sims 4 - The trees in my game looks blocky

Hi there, 

I have never used this website before but the trees and bushes in my sims game keep appearing as blocky and low quality. I have noticed the transparent textures will not go transparent and all of the leaves appear with weird borders around them. I have no idea how to fix this. All of my graphics settings are at max, I have removed mods and it's still the same. This porblem happens every single time and It's affecting my gameplay. I have run multiple repairs via EA app and yet no change. My laptop is a elitebook 8th gen which I purchased new in 2020. I have almost every single sims expansion pack and stuff pack etc. Can anyone help please? I have added images of how it looks all the time.

This problem only appeared last week.

    And have you been able to solve the problem in the meantime? I have exactly the same problem, but only with trees in Windenburg.

    @Naluyaki  Please test with no mods or custom content, as in, move the Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package.  You don't need to save your progress.

    Unfortunately, it's hard to see in the screenshots. But I've marked the type of tree in question with arrows. No other tree is affected, in any world or neighborhood. Only the one type of tree in Windenburg.

    When you pan the camera, move around the environment as a Sim, etc., you can obviously see that the trees are not in 3D.

    @Naluyaki  A lot of assets in Sims 4 aren't really 3D if you pan out or zoom in on something that's supposed to remain in the distance.  That's not a technical issue, just the way the game was designed.  This particular thread is about sets of leaves looking like they've been drawn on sheets of paper.  Please have a look at the screenshot attached to the first post on page one.

    If you do have the same issue as in that first post, please take close-up screenshots.  And in that case, I need the full dxdiag, attached as a text file, not a screenshot of the mostly-irrelevant first page.  Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it—this is just how Sims 4 is built.
