Pixelated Counters, Dine Out Booths, and Bars.

★★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.54.120.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I own all currently released Expansion Packs and Game Packs as of August 2019. I own all Stuff Packs except for My First Pet and Moschino.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Look at the counters, dine out booths, or bars placed inside a room.
What happens when the bug occurs? The counters, dine out booths, and bars appear pixelated. The pixelation moves and changes based on how you zoom out.
What do you expect to see? Textures not pixelated.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This started after the most recent August update.

The pictures attached show the pixelation effect I am talking about. I took all my CC out, repaired my game and it still happened. I thought that maybe CC counters were exempt from it, but they are also pixelated. Please fix soon!

Your graphics drivers for Nvidia card are 5 years old It is probably the reason for this.

Hello,
