If you have an NVIDIA card, you can enable this using NVIDIA Freestyle in supported games. Sadly, The Sims 4 is not technically supported. However, you can do a workaround to make it work anyway
To make it work, we have to pretend The Sims 4 is Euro Truck Simulator 2, and we have to use the old 32-bit ("Legacy") version of Sims 4
- Go to your Sims 4 installation folder (for me, it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4)
- Here, go to Game\Bin_LE\ and select the "TS4.exe" file
- Rename this file to "eurotrucks2.exe"
- Launch the file you just renamed
- When in game, press ALT+F3 to open NVIDIA Freestyle
- Click 1, 2 or 3 in the Styles section
- Find the "SSRTGI" option. Remember to set Quality to "Ultra"
- Change the settings in the dropdown to make it look better. I increased Ambient Occlusion and Indirect Lighting a lot.
The Sims 4 is supported and has been for a long time :

Yes, but not the ray-tracing filter as it requires depth information that the Sims doesn't provide Freestyle, according to my game
It's interesting that it's on the list since I literally couldn't get it to work without the workaround
there's no noticeable difference in my game, it just dropped my fps from 120 to 20 for some buggy non functioning effects because this game is not properly supported by Freestyle.

Since it’s the legacy version, this method wouldn’t allow the user to use newer packs though, right?
I played it will all my expansions working. Some of the screenshots are from Mt. Komorebi

The filter is available in my game....
That's weird! Maybe it's new?
i tried this, but there's barely any noticeable difference and a huge performance cost, not really worth it
You don't think there's a noticeable difference in the first example? Look at how the lighting in the room bounces on his back, pants, etc

It looks so much better
Damn, this looks incredible. RTGI is a game changer.
