Re: Graphical glitch on Macs running Catalina with AMD graphics card

It is affecting Windows users too - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Weird-texture-lines-on-some-objects-when-hit-by-direct-light/m...

 

I also have it on my MacBook Air with M1:

I thought it may be a hardware issue with AMD GPUs but my air doesn't have an AMD, even though the Config.log thinks it is:

Re: Graphical glitch on Macs running Catalina with AMD graphics card

Little update - Simp4Sims has uploaded a GraphicsRules.sgr file that improves the in-game graphics considerably and overrides the default Mac settings. It doesn't fix this issue but I did see an improvement in my game. I posted about it here and there's a link to his site to download the file Standard smile https://bluebellflora.com/2021/07/10/improve-the-graphics-in-your-sims-4-game/
