I was in the middle of building, when I noticed the trees in my game looks blocky, like there's a border around the leaves. All my graphic settings are on high, my graphics card RTX 2070 super, I've ...

    Thanks for this advice @puzzlezaddict. I’ve followed all your instructions and I think update errors are cleaned (see snapshot of onscreen message).

    However, my problem still remained.

    I decided to check my mods - I should have done this earlier. It seems a piece of custom content (an art deco lamp, no less) is somehow affecting how the trees/bushes etc render.

    Everything seems  ok again now, now I’ve removed it, but I will keep monitoring.

    Thanks again for your help.

@Applez  Some of the Sims 4 errors in your dxdiag could be related to the graphics driver, and given the obvious graphical issue here, it's a good idea to clean-uninstall and reinstall the driver.  Here's how:

You can get a fresh copy of the newest Nvidia driver here:

If that doesn't help, please try running your secondary monitor, the one I'm guessing displays Sims 4 based on the in-game resolution you're using, at 120 Hz instead of 165.  The latter is technically an overclock, and while it should still work, I've seen this refresh rate not get along with Sims 4 before.

If that doesn't help either, please disconnect the other monitor, then reboot.  In this case, please test in both fullscreen and windowed modes.  I'm sure you don't want to play like this long-term, but it's a useful test.
