Too 'defined' graphics
Hello. I updated my game to the recent patch and everything seemed fine but then I noticed that some parts of my Sims seemed too 'defined' I would say. I've attached pictures so that you can hopefull...

@Evil_Mantis14 There's nothing obvious in your dxdiag, and since your graphics driver is a few months old, I doubt this is just about the driver, or you would have noticed it before. (I'm not suggesting you need to update the driver, at least not at this point, just observing.)
If you happen to be using any filters through Nvidia Freestyle, please disable them; you can open the options with alt-F3.
If that doesn't help or isn't relevant, please try playing in a clean boot:

When you reboot, please also go through the Task Manager's background processes list and disable anything that isn't critical. For example, the Corsair software may still be running (even though that goes against what a clean boot is for), but you don't absolutely need it for this test. Anything you shut down will restart the next time you reboot.
If that doesn't make a difference either, please take some side-by-side screenshots of a sim in CAS, in both fullscreen and windowed fullscreen. It would help if you used one of the premade sims, so I can compare with my own game, but if not, just widen the shot enough that I can see what skins and items you're using. Please use base game items(not from packs), just to keep things simple.
I haven't even heard of Nvidia Freestyle and unfortunately the in-game screenshots don't capture what I've showed you so that's why I have to take the pictures with my phone.
@Evil_Mantis14 Photos from your phone are fine, or you can try using prntscreen. (Windows key-shift-S works in windowed fullscreen at least but may not in exclusive fullscreen.) Either way though, I'd really like to see a comparison between the "normal" look of windowed fullscreen and the overly defined look of regular fullscreen. You can switch between the two modes without changing what's showing in the game window, so you could take otherwise identical shots of what you see in each.
