Weird textures/pixely patterns and lines? *STEAM VERSION AND MODDED VERSION*

[TheCage123]

Okay, so I'll try to explain this the best I can. This is my first thread and it's going to be a bit long but this has been bugging me for some time now. Around 8 months ago, I bought and installed GTA San Andreas from steam, I then downgraded the game, putting it into a new directory and made it so I could actually add mods to it. Everything was fine up until last month. Basically I wanted to try San Andreas Multiplayer, so I installed SAMP into a totally different directory. Keeping it separate from the one I was installing mods in. I played SAMP for a couple of days. But then I realised that even though SAMP was installed in a different directory, it was still causing problems with the modded GTA SA (which was in a different directory). Long story short I ended up purposely deleting both the directory for SAMP, my modded GTA SA and the User Files Folder which was in my documents. However, I still wanted to play my modded GTA, so last month, I decided to reinstall the game from steam, downgrade it and make it moddable again following the EXACT same steps and using the same programs which I kept on my computer when I did it last time (which was 8 month ago). This entire process took all night and once I finally finished I was extremely tired. I then started up the game and played it for a little bit and everything was fine, and then I slowly started to notice weird texture patterns with certain objects and buildings which I honestly can't remember seeing them there before. I'll post a video of what I mean since it is too hard to explain. But It was very weird, it was strangely apparent on things such as house rooves around grove street, fences, buildings in the distance and garage doors. It was almost like a traily pattern every time you moved the camera or went near/further away from them. Everything seemed to be a bit more "pixely" than usual almost like it was the resolution (the resolution I use is 1920x1080x32, never really used any other since the first day I made it moddable). I didn't really notice it at first, it seemed like it just came on gradually for me to notice them. It seems only mininmal but now since I know they're there it has been giving me massive OCD every time I drive past certain objects which have this "problem". And the most frustrating thing is, I honestly can't remember if these types of problems where apparent the first time I made it moddable. I tried tweaking with every single setting, no luck. I tried removing all the mods and patches, installing and testing them one by one, no difference. I even went back into my recycle bin and restored the original modded GTA SA directory I made the first time (8 month ago) and that was the same, hell I even went and tried the steam version and even that was the same. So, I really don't know where this feeling I'm having is coming from. I've seen all the screenshots I took and watched all the clips I recorded with Fraps and OBS Recorder of GTA SA from when I first made it moddable and I cannot distinguish a single noticeable difference. I also watched a bunch of videos of GTA SA on the internet and all of them looked similar (it was hard to tell with some). So, I really cant tell if it is the game that's different or if it's just my OCD and probably staying up all night "affected" me to see it differently or something. Anyway, I'm going to post a bunch of videos of this "problem" as well as a bunch of videos in the span from the first time I made it moddable (January-August), see if there is any real difference. I'm sorry if I'm not providing a good comparison.
