@Mafrican17 The problem with eyelashes and hair is a known issue with its own thread:

For the eyelashes, the only workaround is to set the lashes to the minimum in CAS and use custom lashes instead. Disabling Advanced Rendering can help with the hair, but also, it's usually only a problem in CAS.
For the graphics settings, please go into Documents > Electronic Arts and delete options.ini. This will reset all in-game settings. Load the game to the Main Menu, then change the graphics settings to what you want, and quit to desktop before loading a save. For now, please turn lighting and tree detail to the minimum and disable Advanced Rendering, and see whether the game runs better.
If that doesn't help, try removing the Pets expansion. Sims 3 is likely installed into either Applications or Users > your username > Applications, and there will be a "The Sims 3 Packs" folder in the same location. Open this folder and drag the EP05 folder to the desktop. (Pets was the 5th expansion released.) This will temporarily uninstall Pets, so you can test without its effects. You'll need to start a new save since existing ones that were previously run with Pets present won't work properly, but that's fine, this is just for testing.
