Re: The Sims 4 CC Hair- Blonde Streaks Bug (FIX)

So i found out that the fix for the custom content blonde hair streak bug is to turn off laptop mode, however i had been experiencing very bad lag problems every time i turned it off so i gave up trying to fight it, however, i played around with the settings for a little bit and found that they DID reduce the lag a LOT, eventually it got to a point where my game was completely playable with reduced lag as well as having reasonably good graphics and those horrible blonde streaks in my CC hair were gone!

The settings i use for my game are these:

Sims- Very High

Objects- Medium

Lighting- Medium

Reflections- Low

Visual Effects- Medium

Edge Smoothing- Off

3D Scene Resolution- High

View Distance- Low

Uncompressed Sim Textures- Unchecked

Post Processing Effects- Unchecked

Laptop Mode- Unchecked (YOU MUST LEAVE LAPTOP MODE UNCHECKED TO ENSURE YOU WONT GET THE AWFUL BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS!!!)

I hope this helps some of you to enjoy the sims 4 custom hair while also having your game run smoothly 🙂

P.S: Screenshots are provided to show what the graphics and hair looks like in these settings!

Happy Simming!

    how do i  stop my game lagging in the city? it used to be playable to  unable to play in new update city living. so not been able to fulfill my city Sims aspirations and because of this i had to put a stop on aging until i find away to improve the speed in the game as it use to be when I first bought it last year.  I deleted some of my game folders but not my favorite ones such as Dr Who and some other characters i made from some other TV programmes as i made a pretty good job on them and i hate to lose them.

    How long would you say it took for the game to stop lagging?

    Thanks! My niece downloaded a bunch of custom content and she complained of blonde streaks. She read this herself and fixed it on her own.
