Texture blurriness glitch

[Elexis]

Hello,

I've never experienced any graphics issues with my game before and probably wouldn't have guessed that something is wrong until I saw some pictures from other people's games.

My own made CC looks far better in other people's games, I was surprised when few people told me that they are using my CC, because it looked so clean and sharp, while in my game they looked blurry and pixelated :blink: Then I saw that EVERYTHING looks blurry in my game in comparison, all other CC and EA stuff too.

And no, this is not related to the graphics settings, because I always play on the highest settings.

I also don't use any mods that alter my graphics, the only thing I have in my game are Master Controlled mod and few build restrictions mods.

This is the comparison pic of my 3 lipsticks:

Can anyone help me with this? Maybe someone knows what's causing this and how I could fix it? Any help would be very appreciated :blink:

My graphics card:
XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890

Hmmm... maybe a driver issue, or maybe your monitor's dying? Yeah maybe not, now that I think about it. Hmmm... no idea.

Well, that's not the monitor problem, I'm sure of it now. My drivers are updated too.

I think it's something with ATI cards, though I'm not sure of it, I'll need to find someone with nVidia willing to test my lipsticks :D

EDIT:

Well, it's not the ATI problems since nVidia screenshots are the same. It's probably the HQ mod that makes them look better, though it doesn't work for me and I can't test this theory :/

Or it could be that your graphics card is overheated?...

I'm gonna guess it's a HQ mod thing - in my game, stuff looks like the "other people" screenshots, while they used to look like your "in my game" shots before I got the mod.

Ah, thank you HP, I believe that this is the cause :)

Though it's a little weird, HQ mod should affect only the files that have 2048x2048 and bigger textures, while all my stuff uses standard 1024x1024 textures. I guess it somehow affects all textures, making them look clearer and nicer, since the game automatically "merges" all Sim textures in one big file.

Too bad I can't make this mod work for me :(
