I recently installed the newest version of S4S and since then, this has occurred in several of my cc hair and eyelashes. Hope someone can help. @rosemow?

Hello
Try turning off laptop mode and see if that helps with the issue.

Jendowoz0612

I didn't think it was on laptop mode, but I'll check. Thanks @rosemow

Jendowoz0612

I checked and lap top mode wasn't checked, @rosemow so any other ideas? Thanks?

Hello
Try altering the graphics settings in game options and see if that helps.

That tells me the CC on that sim is no longer up to date with your game. I suggest checking with the maker of the CC and see if they have an update. My sister - in law saw issues just like that in her game after a C&D update in CC that was supposed to be updated for the ep and ended up having to remove the CC anyway.

Marnetti

C&D broke a lot of CC. Even after some cc creators fixed theirs, it’s still broken.

Jendowoz0612

I will try that also, thanks. @Writin_Reg and @Marnetti thank you.

As some of the others have said, I had a minor version of this problem and found I needed to update many of my mods and cc's. Most of it, even the ones that hadn't been updated by creators, worked again after a redownoad.

Jendowoz0612

Okay thank you all for your help, it was most appreciated, I will try everything suggested.

Also, isn't that alpha hair? I saw a thread with that same hair before talking about it.

Jendowoz0612

What does that mean, Alpha Hair? Would you mind linking me to that thread, please? @paradiseplanet. I'd appreciate it very much.

paradiseplanet

Ooh, I can't recall when but it may take some digging, but I do remember that cc hair like that would usually require a higher graphics settings for it to properly display in its best quality. I presume the eyelashes may be functioning the same way. What is the graphics settings you currently are on?

Jendowoz0612

I'm on the highest graphics, but I recently re-installed all the cc after taking it out of the mods folder, so I think something is missing. It's happening with all nearly all of my CC hair, so something else must be wrong.

Look familiar?

Jendowoz0612

Yes it does, but my graphics is on the Ultra. It keep saying something is missing when I change the hairstyle in CAS so maybe something hasn't re-installed. Can't think for the life of me what, however. May just have to re-install all my hair.

paradiseplanet

Have you checked to make sure the cc is up to date? If so, I'm still quite not sure where to go from there. Maybe @rosemow can give a better opinion.

Jendowoz0612

Thanks, @paradiseplanet I appreciate your help and support, perhaps @rosemow may be able to shed some light on it for me, but not on the hair LOL

Hi, @duhboy2u2 did you re-download over the top of those already there or deleted the lot and started again?

Hello
Try removing some of the cc that have issues, then go to the cc site and download the files again , and see if that helps.

If the issues remain, try downloading Sims 4 Studio, and run the cas batch fixes.
The program, has batch fixes that includes fixing some of the cc items broken by the last patch
http://sims4studio.com/board/6/download-sims-studio-open-version (register with the site first before trying to access the download page )
It would be good to download the latest version and run the cas batch fixes.
After installing the program, click the tools label at the top of the screen, the batch fix options will be able to be accessed from the drop down menu
You need to register on the site but it is free. You need to be logged in to access the download page.

Hi @rosemow, I did run the batch fixes but it seems all my cc hair and eyelashes have the same problem and every time I load one of my cc sims into CAS it says "items removed" so that says to me maybe when I added hair back into the Mods folder after taking it out, that perhaps something is missing.

I may just have to download all my hair fresh again. I have kept all the winRAR files, separately so should I start with them or do you think I should install them all fresh in case there is a compatible issue with cats and dog and S4S or maybe there is another explanation before I delete all the hair and eyelashes in my mods folder?

Hello
I am sorry that you are having these issues It would be best to go to the cc sites and redownload them again. There may be updated versions of them released since the patches.

Jendowoz0612

Yes I think that may be best, thanks, @rosemow

rosemow

You’re welcome

Jendowoz0612

I just deleted or moved my cc hair folder to an external drive, and downloaded a few new ones and then tried them out in the game and they still have the same problem. I was wondering, are these all the right options. Should "uncompressed textures" and "post processing be checked?"

rosemow

Hello
I will post here what a mod creator posted about a similar issue on another site

That looks similar to effect when sims are sneakily wearing a hat or headband CC that is not meant to go with the hair. Check to see if they are wearing something form the hat category. Also check to see if CC jewellery, accessories, even shoes, are clashing. All of these can also streak CC hair in such ways.
