I loaded into a save for the first time in a little under a month and immediately noticed that my medium- and large-sized photos have become blurry, as if they've been compressed. It's to the point where they're kind of hard to look at. I frequently take and rearrange photos, so I would've noticed it before. I tried this with a save that I'd opened since the update, one that I hadn't opened since the update, and one that I hadn't opened with mods disabled. It was the same each time. I've attached a screenshot so you can see, for reference, that the larger photo is noticeably blurrier than the small one. (The small photo in the screenshot is from a photo booth, which I know works a bit differently, but I didn't notice any abnormal blurring in the other small photos.) It's a bit dark though, my apologies

After the latest The Sims 4 update, I noticed an issue with the quality of the photos taken by Sims using the in-game camera. The photos come out in very poor quality – blurry and low resolution.
I have mods and CC installed, but everything is updated to the latest version:
MC Command Center
Pose Player
Teleport Any Sim
Searchable Pose Player
EA Eyelashes Remover
CC is mostly clothes, hairstyles, and accessoriesI’ve attached screenshots of my graphics settings and examples of how the in-game photos look.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions on what to check!
aneczka34567 Does it help to disable post processing in the graphics options? And do the photos look better in windowed mode? You may have to take new ones to check.
Please also provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

I am having the exact same issue after the update! I’m hoping it’s an easy fix and not a bug.

Same issue and I'm on Mac. I first noticed it with the Family Legacy Portrait item

No to windowed + disabling post processing. I usually play with the Ultra setting and have no problems :-(

To add to my initial report: I tested this in a brand new, un-modded save with new pictures and it's the same thing. Small photos are clear, large photos are blurry. I've attached another picture that's better lit than my original one to showcase this.
