Blurry Textures on Greasy Goods chef station FIX (Patreon)

Does your game look like the first picture on the post? Well, don't worry, there's a fix!

Recently EA has nerfed the texture quality for the game entirely, capping it from 2048x2048 to 1024x1024. It does not matter if your game is on ultra, it will be capped to 1k. That's a bummer! Not only some EA assets are the 2k variant and now will look blurry, the case can be applied to numerous pieces of cc, especially alpha creators!

This was done to achieve better perfomance in the game, since recently it has begun to struggle. If your game is fine and it is fluid overall, you can revert this change back by locating your The Sims 4 Game Files folder. Mine happens to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin,  yours could be different depending on what the name of your disk is, if you customized it at installation and so on and so forth. 

Once you've located this folder, you will find a file called GraphicsRules.sgr. This file contains the instructions the game reads at launch for the graphic settings. You can open this file with Word Pad (which comes preinstalled on Windows since Windows Vista). 

Once the file is open on Word Pad, you'll have to find the line of code that says " option ObjectQuality ". You can find things in word pad by using the finder feature, it has both a button and a shortcut (Control + Shift + F). Input that line of code and it will jump to it!

From here, locate " setting $High " (the fix should also work with setting $medium if your Object Quality setting in game is set to medium). Locate " prop $ConfigGroup TextureSizeThreshold  1024 " and change 1024 to 2048. There you go! Your game can finally enjoy high quality textures again.
