CC Hair Textures
Can someone explain to me why some CC hairs look gorgeous in CAS, but the texture goes bad and looks hideous in the game?

When I was making the sims to run a test game with the hairs, because I had problems with other CC hairs from TSR in the past, my husband remarked that one of the hairs looked more like feathers than hair. I didn't notice while I was making them, but you can see in that first picture, even in CAS, up on the left side of her part, there's a dark spot that looks like the same bad texture that shows in the game, and in the lower left there's a bumpy looking area. When I went back into CAS to get pictures to post here, I noticed that all of the hairs that look bad in the game have those same issues in CAS, except that one on the little girl.
I find it a bit hard to believe the problem could be my computer, because it's a relatively high performance gaming computer. I keep my graphics settings low because that's one of the many suggestions on the list at NRaas on improving gaming performance, and I have vision issues that make it hard to tell the difference anyway. And back when I had a lesser computer, and I asked about specs for playing without issues, everybody who answered insisted that the only way anybody could play long term saves without game-breaking issues was to follow those steps, because the game itself is the issue.
Oh well, I guess I'll just do without those hairs and see if I can find some for children and toddlers from a different creator. I found lots of good adult hairs by Nightcrawler and a few other creators that look just as good in the game as in CAS. Maybe some of them made some child and toddler hairs too.
