Okay so I've been downloading cc for TS4. I decided to download some hair; I watched some youtube videos of recommended custom content hair from sites such as ModTheSims, The Sim Resource etc. So I downloaded some hairstyles. When I go onto 'Create A Sim', the hairstyles have a weird shiny look to them. Does any one else have this issue? Thanks :)

- A link to the CC that this is happening on.
- Ideally, a screenshot of what you are seeing.
- Machine info: What platform (Windows\OSX), graphics card and graphics setting in game (i.e. Ultra/High/Medium/etc.)
Thanks-SGMS
I believe what they are seeing is the SimGlass shader working as designed, but perhaps since the last patch more pronouncedly so? That one’s often used for a certain kind of hair.
Hair I used for testing: http://modthesims.info/d/553964
Settings on High:
Settings on Low (Laptop Mode on):
Settings on Low -- same as above but Laptop Mode turned off:
Windows 7 Home Premium on a 2014 MacBook Pro with a GeForce 750M GT.
I have seen this kind of “macaroni look” in screenshots before 1.9 too though if I remember correcty, so it is probably not the same as what the OP is talking about. But might still be useful for disambiguation, I guess.
I'm not quite sure what exactly you are looking for, but regarding the post from @pbox with 'high' and 'low' the game's graphic settings are located in the Game Menu > Game Options > Graphics.
You can select ome predefined graphic profiles in section 'Graphics Quality', also the mentioned 'high' and 'low' profiles. Be careful while using the 'Ultra' setting. It requires an advanced graphic HW like NVidia Geforce or AMD Radeon. To reduce the load on laptops you can check the 'Laptop Mode' check box. But as a consequence this option also reduces the overall graphic quality.
