In-game photos have become blurry, as if compressed

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

  • I have a very high end rig and play on maxed out graphic settings, and I'm still seeing blurry in-game photos. I'm working on a save file - as are many - but it all seems so pointless when I keep hitting one obstacle after the next. I staged a beautiful photo shoot and now the results are low res.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:PC
    Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.119.109.1020
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?  Have a sim with 5 at photography. Buy a good camera and a stand for it so all conditions are perfect. Take a picture.
    What happens when the bug occurs?  No matter the size of the photo, the picture is very low quality, blurry. This is an old bug that was already fixed once, but now it's back.
    What do you expect to see?  Picture should have a higher quality if ALL my game options are maxed out.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not sure
    Please describe the patch or change you made.  Some of the patches.

    This is an old bug that was already fixed once, but now it's back. Along with black-photo-bug, so maybe they are connected, maybe not. My pictures taken prior to this bug all look good. If my computer allows it and I have all the settings maxed out, I want to have pictures that look GOOD.

    Even the L&D portrait is blurry (as all the pictures). I play on max graphics settings.

  • Hello! I have the same problem after the latest update! All the photos have become blurry and the Family Portrait too. I also tried with the new game and the best graphic options but the problem is still there.
