Custom hair doesn't show up correctly

Whenever I use custom hair, it doesn't show up right. When I'm in CAS, it shows up how it should, but in-game, it's messed up. If I use Maxis Custom hair, it works, but anything realistic won't. Normal CC works in-game, just the hair that won't. This is what it should look like, and below is what it looks like in-game.

@RandomBuzziness Thanks! I've found a solution, and I needed to turn Laptop Mode off in settings, and the hair now works perfectly fine!

@MinniePresh0 I pretty much only use Maxis Match CC hair for Sims 4. When I first switched over from playing Sims 3 I downloaded TS4 versions of some of my favorite TS3 realistic hairstyles but I didn't like how they looked. The Maxis Match styles look great though. Maybe it's because of my graphics settings. I'm playing on an older laptop while I save up for something new.

@MinniePresh0 Check your sim for accessories. Rings, hats, bracelets, etc. Some of them can cause weird problems if the mesh/alpha is messed up and not designed properly.

BTW... love the jeans.

@PsychotpsThanks for the help! I tried doing that, but it didn't change anything, so I searched a solution on YouTube, and found out that I needed to turn Laptop Mode off. I'm glad you like the jeans. You can get them from TSR and they're called Jeans with embroidery by Sims House!

@MinniePresh0 Hey that's awesome you got it fixed! That Laptop mode will definitely affect your graphics settings which was pretty much what was happening in my game too. I tried it once & I didn't like how it looked. You might be able to research your graphics card and see if it has any recommended settings for playing Sims 4.
