@kitkat1819 Yes, you could set your sims' eyelash sliders to the minimum and then apply custom content eyelashes; I've heard anecdotally that this works fine, although I haven't tested myself. As for the static hair, it would help if you attached your deviceconfig to a post (you can edit this one to add it if you want). That issue does not happen everyone, so info about affected hardware is useful.
The snow will only appear on high-detail lots, as in, the current one and any other that gets fully rendered, if you have Advanced Rendering enabled in the graphics options. However, that comes with its own issue:
If you do enable Advanced Rendering, be sure to do so at the Main Menu, then quit to desktop before loading a save. Otherwise, you might see some strange graphics glitches.
I see you've already found the terrain paint thread.

Also having this problem on my MacBook Air.
My deviceconfig is:

I put the slider down and it fixed it for me. Hope this helps!
I would do the salon trick for my Sims but whenever I go to the salon, I can’t click on the tattoo chairs or the makeover mirrors.
- @mkbucklin Have you tried clicking on the platforms that are in front of the mirrors?
Yes, I’ve tried clicking every inch of the object and it just shows me a grey mouse.
- @mkbucklin I'm not sure then ;/ If you have Nraas Master Controller you could try resetting the lot and see if that works?
I haven't noticed this with hair, yet, but the eyelashes YES ABSOLUTELY.
I downloaded some CC but the quality is bad. Eyelashes are just black boxes and freckles barely show up when I restore to default settings but when I raise the sim detail the hair has speckles all over it and everything looks just as bad as default, help ):

@aKay47s The graphics issues you're describing aren't necessarily solvable with different settings. There's a thread here for both:
If the hair looks bad in CAS but fine in-game, then I'd say the easiest thing would probably be to ignore the CAS issues. If the hair looks bad in-game, then there is unfortunately not much you can do at this point except hope EA fixes the problem in a patch, which remains to be seen.
