The new official survey for The Sims 4 Marketplace has been published by Electronic Arts today.

Reblogging on my main as well.

When corresponding with the representative for the Sims Team, I specifically asked her if she had seen any of the various polls going around on different platforms about the Marketplace. Looks like they've made their own.

Survey link is at the bottom of the article (linked above)

What does it do?

Enhance the quality of in-game shadows by smoothening them. Your lighting setting needs to be set to High or Very High to see the change.

Disable the dark lines (Ambient Occlusion) that appear around the edges of objects, walls, and floors.

MXAO was turned off when the photos above were taken.

How to install it

Windows users:

Locate your TS4_x64.exe. If you are an EA App user, it is typically at C:/Program Files/EA Games/The Sims 4/Game/Bin. If it is located elsewhere and you absolutely have no idea where it is exactly, simply right-click on the Sims 4 icon on your Desktop and select 'Open File Location'. It will lead you to its location.

There, you will see the default GraphicsRules file. Simply back it up and replace it with my version.

MacOS users:

In Finders, press cmd + F and type in "The Sims 4".

Once you see "The Sims 4.app", right-click on it and select "Show Package Contents". The default GraphicsRules file is located at Contents/Resources.

Back it up and replace it with my version.

Important notes

You need to repeat the process whenever you update or repair your game.

If you use ReShade or GShade, you must turn off Edge Smoothing and rely on FXAA and SMAA instead so that the shaders targeting 3D objects like MXAO, DOF, AdaptiveFog, and DepthHaze can function properly.

another update?

don’t forget to reset your SSAO settings (for those that use reshade and want MXAO to play nice) and turn off yr plumbob (for storytellers tired of doing ‘headline effects ‘off’)

Remember those surveys that introduced things like more traits, story progression, advanced relationships, and ideas for different worlds and unique packs? Love that a bunch of time and resources were poured into something else ❤️
