Lines on Sims faces?

ChelleJo · December 2016

I just recently upgraded my GPU to the GTX 1070 and now I have lines on my sims face that I didn't have before. I recall seeing others post about this, but since I wasn't experiencing it, I don't recall if or what the solution was. It's much more noticable in CAS, but my sims do have them in game, as well.

This is a vanilla game, no mods or CC. (I do use mods and CC, but I run two folders, and this is in my vanilla folder. I haven't checked my modded folder, as I haven't loaded that up since my upgrade).

Look around her mouth, both sides. This is the worse case of it.

Here again, on her cheek area nearish her mouth...

In game pictures. Not nearly as noticable, but still there and very annoying.

Any help to get rid of these lines is appreciated.

Hello
This issue affects nvidia graphics cards. In the second post of this AHQ EA thread there is a tool/program that can be downloaded to help with the issue.

You just have to deal with it I guess. This bug has been here a long time.
The only bad thing about being an Nvidia user.

And the workaround is just unacceptable. Edge smoothing turned off makes the whole game look atrocious. I'd rather have the fine lines on the face, thank you.

Hello Dekay
Try using the Nvidia Inspector tool that is in the second post on the AHQ EA site and see if that helps in your game. It has been helping other simmers who have the same issue.

Lol i had to zoom in to see it. Just forget about it, it's not very noticeable. As this is a EA game i wouldn't expect a fix... lol.
Just try to enjoy your games with your new card, its a good card.

Thank you again, Rosemow. I looked the link over this morning and I'm just not wanting to download Inspector. Not just for those lines. And if it's going to turn edge smoothing off and make my game look horrible, not really what I want to do. Looks like I'll take DeKay and Chester's advice and ignore them. It's not huge or horribly noticeable, and more noticeable in CAS then in game.

Thank you all! Sorry I'm being so "AHHH...what is this?! HELP!" So much.

Hello
You don't need to be sorry at all for posting about issues that occur! It is good to post about them to see if there are ways to resolve the issues.
If you did download nvidia Inspector, you don't need to turn off edge smoothing. That was a different option that another simmmer tried , to help with the issue.

I choose to ignore it. If I can see it in a screenshot then I photoshop it out.
