hello! I downloaded a few hairstyles and they show up in the game, but the color that shows up when I play is not the color I chose. All the hairstyles show up in brown with blonde stripes. I downloaded sims 4 studio to try content management > batch fixes > cas > allow cc for random, but this shows me an empty list of results. This may be due to the fact that my sims game (the "path" I had to enter for s4studio to work) is stored under macbook > user > me > programmes > sims 4, whereas my mods are stored in icloud > doc > electronic arts > the sims 4 > mods (before I figured out how to run s4studio with the right path, I did a "run", and it did give the entire list of mods, but it kept saying "sims 4 studio unable to find game path" and it turned out the game was stored somewhere else, so not the same path that leads to the mods file?) I hope this makes sense? Can anyone tell me how I can fix the hair colors? this is the hairstyle:  this is what it looks like in the game:  and the list of nothing that I get:  I hope someone understands what I'm getting at! thank you |

I think this might be because you have Laptop Mode checked off in your in game settings. Did you check your Sims 4 graphic settings to see if it was enabled? That may be the problem.
Hope this is solved quickly, cheers!

laptop mode is on! I also tried turning the graphic quality of the sim to very high, but that didn't work either :( thank you though!

qarakuzi Oh, my bad! I phrased my sentence incorrectly! (Mistakes happen, you know  ) When I asked if Laptop Mode was checked off, I was trying to ask if it was turned on. Have you tried turning it off?

This is how textures are rendered in laptop mode. If you want them to be displayed correctly turned laptop mode off.

Try setting Sims details to Ultra if you can. That might help with displaying the hair correctly outside of CAS.

As mentioned above try setting to the highest settings, restart the game if you don't see any changes immediately, check again. If there are no changes then contact EA. It is their bug.

thanks so much to all of you for trying to help!! setting it to ultra gave me the right colors in the game! however, the picture on the left side of the bar still shows the weird colors? Also, the game is now extremely slow (while playing and while loading to play), is that normal when you turn the graphics to ultra? like is it either the right hair and a slow game or a fast game and not every cc working (I have a little less than 200 ccs, 75 or so which are hair)? because if thats the case I'll just try for different hair I guess, lol. sorry for all the questions! it now looks like this:  |

Well, it is not normal if your game is lagging. It means that your computer is not powerful enough for these settings. You can try playing with medium game settings, just don't turn laptop on, this is the only reason why hair was rendered that way. If your game is still lagging then alpha CC probably not for your computer, also it is high poly which creates additional pressure on GPU. Thumbnail shows old rendered picture. You can delete localtumbcache file from My documents Sims 4 folder and let the game to generate new thumbnail.

It works on medium now and the game isn't as slow. I've filtered through the ccs to see which ones worked and which didn't. I'm just gonna play with the ones that work! Also, deleting the localtumbcache worked perfectly, thank you so much  |
