I Recently received a new PC, The new PC has an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti so i was expecting high quality graphics.
I had to make the graphics card recognizable and that worked but the only problem was the sims looked so low quality they look blurry and textures don't look good at all...
Anyone have any advice?

Are you on laptop or desktop? If on laptop I suggest going to your laptop manufacturer and updating all your drivers. If your on desktop, make sure your video card driver is updated http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
Is your monitor 1080p resolution? The 1050 card should be running at 1080p resolution for this game. If you resolution is lower or higher than 1080p that could also cause issues
The graphics card says found 1 matched 1 so i'm sure its recognized.
I'm on desktop already updated all drivers
yes 1080p
If that is not your issue, it sound like your video driver may have downloaded incorrectly.
Download the newest Nvidia driver, then disconnect your computer from wifi/internet
uninstall your current driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_13955.html
install a new clean driver and then reconnect to wifi/internet
2 - Kind of basic sorry, but are you certain that your graphics settings in Game Options are set mostly on the high end of things and that Advanced Rendering is on? These settings can get reset on us by things like driver updates.

I recently bought a new computer and installed The Sims 3 through Origin. The game loads fine (faster than it ever did on my old computer) and the graphics look great when it is day time in game or the in-game lighting is bright. The issue I'm having is when it is night time in-game or the lighting is dim, the colours and textures look blotchy and odd. So for worlds like Midnight Hollow which are dark and gloomy the graphics are terrible. I've tried taking a screenshot of the issue but when I view the picture everything looks perfectly fine. I've tested out a few different worlds and it's happening in all of them with any rooms/objects that are not in a well lit room.
This is my computer:
Dell XPS 15 laptop
7th Generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ
512GB SSD
16GB Ram
GTX 1050
4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) display
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing is fixing the problem. V-Sync is on, I've checked in game and the fps is capped at 60. I have all expansions and stuff packs installed except for Into the Future.
Any ideas would be appreciated :)

as it would because this game is not designed to run in 4k. Laptop hardware is weaker than desktop hardware. You need a higher end video card to game in 4k There is no desktop video card on the market that can game in 4k without having some issues. We advise people to get a laptop in 1080p resolution for the sims games. Even the sims 4 which is a newer game than TS3 has issues running in 4k.
4k is fine on a laptop for streaming a movie but not for gaming. if you want to run this game the way it should be run you need a 1080p laptop with a video card that can run 1080p.
putting your laptop in windowed mode takes stress off you video card and probably why the game runs better in windowed mode. I'm afraid that is all you can do with having a 4k laptop unless you return that laptop and get one with 1080p resolution if you want to play in full screen . your video card Nvidia 1050 can only handle gaming in 1080p and can not handle gaming in 4k. You need an Nvidia 1080 ti to game in 2k. Never mind 4k

I don't know. The ui will still be too small. The ui is small on a laptop screen in 1080p , I can't imagine what it looks like in 4k windowed mode.

This is why I hook up my laptop or tower to the Tv. I need a bigger screen. The game looks fine in 1080p. I can read it no problem on a larger screen. Even my laptop at 17" is small UI and i have to figure out where I am at by memory of the game in 1080p full screen
