So, some items were not showing up in my game so I decided to update the hair and some items via sims 4 studio. This, however, this made most of the alpha hairs and eyelashes in the game to have these ugly blonde streaks. (image I got from another forum) I had a read in some other forums. I have unchecked my laptop mode and everything is in high/ ultra graphics mode etc. Please help as I am not sure of what to do.

I know the streak problem happened to a lot of gamers with laptops. They had to take their computer off laptop mode.

I'm having this problem too. Everything started when I installed Cats & Dogs, and it brought MASSIVE issues to the game, rendering it unplayable. I batch fixed all of my CC, and I tried to put them back to the game slowly (all being CC that worked completely fine up to this update) ... The weird thing is that even "safe" items like skins or make-up can ruin the game, I get missing sim or family thumbnails, or the screen goes black or white. When trying in windowed mode, I realized that the black screen was in fact the game causing my graphics driver to crash! I was able to see that message. I've been trying to do a lot of troubleshooting, reinstalling the whole graphics driver and so on but the game is now completely unplayable. Now just casually I was going to check on S4S for a bit and realized that all the hairs looked like this. Also, unlike before, they now were on a sim model. Because I had upgraded my game and updated my graphics driver and done some other possible tweaks, I also downloaded the newest S4S version but this is how it looks like. Hairs are incredibly hard to analyze when they look like this, the color especially is hard to perceive on some. Why does this happen now and how can it be fixed? I don't know if this is a feature of the current version of S4S or is this because I did the batch fixes.

Hey indigo What you are experiencing is different from the original post. To see hairs like (or resembling) the screenshot in S4S is normal. This is how alpha hairs are displayed in S4S preview. Clay hair should look fine. If you see hair in your game as the opening post. this is a bug (which looks like a wrong sort layer on the custom skin). About all the trouble you have with the game. You probably have some outdated scripted mods in your game. The most common one for big troubles were: More Columns, MC command center, UI cheat. If you have any of those make sure you update them with their latest versions. Cats&dogs broke a LOT of mods. Basically any script that change the way the game work is impacted. Simple objects or CAS items are unlikely to create an issue. But in case you still have issues, I would recommend you to remove your mods fully. Simply move your mod folder somewhere else and test your game again to see if it is back to normal.

Zelrish oh I see... It's just, I don't think hairs used to look like that in S4S before! I recall doing a lot of package sorting and checking with S4S and hairs not only looked as they are in game, they also appeared in S4S floating in air on their own, instead of being on that sim dummy. I had very little script mods, and of course, the first thing I did was to remove them and test without them. Something had an update, I think a stand still in CAS mod. I've taken out all of my mods and tried to add them back in slowly but I can genuinely confirm that after the Cats&Dogs update, I have as harmless mods as skins and make-up bug up the game completely. Those files were fine before the update and I had played with them in game, but suddenly even content as simple as this seems nearly impossible to be restored to the game! I need the stand still in CAS mod because in CAS, the amount of hyperactive grimacing and constant fiddling is unbearable and you can't see what you're doing. It was just before the update when I had even discovered MC Command Center and started experimenting with it, but since it was so new to me, in no way had I started to rely on it yet. So stand still in CAS really is the only proper script mod I have and need. When testing, MC Command Center has been in a completely different folder, it's the normal CC that I've been trying to sort but it seems like the game had gone completely nuts now. The issues appear to be graphics related, most of all. I've deleted my games and saves and all many times as well, to try and have the game rebuild itself but the game seems to systematically cause my graphics driver to crash. That's all Cats & Dogs, not the previous games.
