@SociallySoephie I checked one of my Sims with your setting and it's looking fine.

What graphics card do you have ?

Do you see it in all dark skin tones or only certain ones ? If it's only certain ones, which one do you have it with ?

Good Luck

I haven't checked all dark skin tones but here is my graphics card information attached. I can check the range of skintones this evening when I get home from work.

@SociallySoephie OK. That's a rather low level chip. It's possible that it's still happening on those.

 

Could you maybe try a Sim called Kensh Lamir from my gallery. That's the Sim I tried.

Okay so I checked out Lamir and the pattern is visible on him once I load him up in a fresh game (Though that skin tone was one of the less severely affected ones).

After testing every skin tone in my game I've also attached a picture with the ones that are affected to varying degrees.

 

It was just weird because I didn't have this issue previously when using the uncompressed sim textures. The pattern only appeared between the last time I played in late September and when I loaded up my game again yesterday.

I'm also seeing this still on PS4, It's very obvious. I don't know what gets corrected in the screenshots but it doesn't show very well in them. The pattern is very visible on the sim sitting at the table.
