Okay, that didn't work either... BUT.. on a whim I decided to disable the default skin replacement that I had used and... it's all fixed... O_o So, seems it was an issue with the clothes rendering on top of the non-Maxis skin tone.
Well, I did try that but like I said, it's the clothes ONLY. Nothing else. Plus, screen size doesn't have anything to do with it anyway. The problem is as far as I know the standard "Your video card is better than it was meant to be so it's unable to detect settings" which is something that I have never understood why games can't be written so that they aren't like "Ack! Computer is too good, I shall cry now!" but then I am not that level of programmer. But, if I had not edited the game files, then the ENTIRE game would still be in low res... that's the issue, it's only the clothes that are refusing to load properly.
When I ran it on my old computer I ran in 1024x768 or whatever which was what my computer could do, because that was Windows XP and the last generation of video cards that the game was created to "detect", but I knew people that ran the game at 1920x1080 just fine as their cards could do it.
Wait! I found a fix (I hope!) Look here: http://modthesims.info/article.php?t=97876
