This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Low LOD, Low Anti-Aliasing, Jagged/No shadows on High-End PC
Hi, just installed the steam version TS3, did the steam guide, installed Duches' mods. So my GPU is recognized. And I started playing the game. I have 4k Sims and 8k shadows enabled with the shadow extender. Now everything looks fuzzy, pixelated and just bad. I tried installing DXVK to hopefully maybe to solve the problems but it just brought shadows back, but they are pixelated now. still having the issues with the sims. I have the latest drivers, running the latest Windows 11 update.
I'm using the Primer skin on the highest resolution. Can provide more information if needed.

My system is almost the same:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: ASUS Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB
SSD: 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD
RAM: CORSAIR 32GB

I never had the problems described by Ard4x.
But I have rain and snowfall in the rooms when I activate Shader 2.0+ in the game options.
If I don't activate it, the precipitation stays outside, but flames disappear depending on the viewing angle and the textures of the city look terrible. The grass is just a green surface and frosty ground is shown as a striped pattern. The frost on window panes no longer appears at all.

If anyone knows a solution for this, I would be grateful.
I would like to activate the precipitation again.
"Seasons" is just no fun like this.
