That said it certainly would benefit from a graphics rewrite and code optimizations, although this is par for the course when a sim is released unfinished. Especially when code optimizations are one of the last things done before release on a finished sim.

If I run it at your settings I get great fps, but it stutters and looks really bad shimmering. It needs optimizing, but If its not coded badly and it runs fine, why on earth would they rewrite the graphics engine? Of course its coded badly or they would not go to all that trouble. NervousEnergy is right.

You probably don't notice the shimmering as much because you are using a TV. It looks WAY worse on a 30" monitor because the screen is higher quality.

You make it sound like most sims are release unfinished. They are not. Bugs yes, unfinished with no AA and AF no way. Its not my rig, my rig runs everything famously. This is messed up and it looks like I'll have to wait for the patch to get it to run well.
