The Sim's thought bubble in the screenshot best describes my initial thoughts when I noticed the screen distortion of TVs that began occuring with the January 7, 2016 game patch. I couldn't figure out what was going wrong with my game. Tried a game repair, but that didn't help. Finally last night I searched for a solution as surely this was happening to someone else? Quickly I found that it's happening to everyone else. Lots of folks are crying for a game option to turn that junk off, but apparantly EA thinks that if the game is sped up the video should look like a low quality VCR from the '80s.
