    2 sharp edges on ground texture when zooming and rotating camera

    in The Sims 3 Bugs & Issues
    I made a post about this quite awhile back here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/933546/sharp-edge-appears-on-ground-texture-when-rotating-camera#latest

    But the method that worked last time doesn't seem to be helping anymore. I was wondering if anyone might know how to get rid of this harsh edge?
    Here are my current nVidia settings.

    And a video of the graphic glitch:

      Are you certain that what we are seeing is the graphic card profile for TS3? I do not have Nvidia on my end, my cards are AMD, but I would expect to see "TS3.exe" (for Patch 1.69) or "TS3w.exe" (with the "w" for Patch 1.67) where instead we see two dots side by side under where it says "Select a program to customize."

      I do have NVIDIA and I also would expect to see TS3.exe or TS3w.exe in that spot mentioed by @igazor.

      @igazor @Karritz I must have un-selected it at some point during taking screenshots, but I did go back in and specifically select the Sims 3 (ts3w.exe) profile just to be sure, and the settings are identical for every setting as the ones I posted. Good eye though!

      I guess the question then becomes, what changed in between where those settings worked better and now? Nvidia driver update, Windows update, Win 10 Game Mode activated, some combination or other things? You can of course try other settings on the GPU, not sure what would be available to do so. But the numbers of ways to keep a 2009 game running well on 2019 (or so) hardware at some point become limited. I don't mean this to sound uncaring, but at least from the video anyway I'm not sure I would even notice the Filtering difference though it might feel very different in-game than the video presents.

      Perhaps a post on MTS where players more religiously use these settings and reshaders, etc. to get the effects they want might kick up some better suggestions?

      I'll give that a shot. And you don't come across as uncaring, just honestly realistic. Which I actually appreciate. And yes, a few nVidia updates have happened, Which tends to make me re-do the profile anyway. BUt I will post on mts.
