Catcus have their needles heavily outlined

Anyone know how to fix this? I inclued what I'm referencing and my current graphic settings.

The outline might be from lightning effects or FSR sharpening.

Try setting Lightning and Global Illumination to High and turning off FSR.

Yeah, I thought that was the problem too but doesnt seem to fix it. This screenshot is with the changes you suggested!

In that case, perhaps Ultra texture?

Here’s a reference image, the outline’s softer.

I have the same problem

Im starting to believe that its the design of the cactus and not a setting that can be changed? Even in the photo that @spice lynx posted, they're still very prominent. I'm just getting used to them now lol

Cacti apparently have white spines to reflect sunlight, so I'd say Rockstar did a solid job 🌵
