i'm also having issues with bulky lashes and glitchy hair. doesn't seem to affect sims in live mode, however it's kinda annoying when in CAS.

@bethloft3  Since you have the glitchy hair, it would be helpful to see your deviceconfig.log, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.  (You'll need to manually open the folders; the file won't show up in a search.)  The file can be attached to a post.  You can delete your user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in that file that can identify you.

      So I recently removed the sims 3 folder and had a new one spawned for a crashing issue. That solved the crashing issue and also saved the grainy hair in CAS problem. Could the grainy hair be related to settings? Because my settings were all as low as they could go, and when I just turned some of the settings higher, the grainy hair issue came back.

        @plumbobliving  Yes, the grainy hair could definitely be due to the graphics settings.  I'd be curious to know which setting causes this issue, if you're up for a bit of testing.  Be sure to change settings at the Main Menu and quit the game before loading a save, just to make sure that you don't get any other weird graphics glitches.
