Sims 4 CC hair slows game down

So I downloaded CC hair and when I went into CAS, I tried out a bunch of hairs on my character. When trying out hairs, the hair usually shows up as quickly as you clicked on it, however the CC I downloaded earlier doesn't show up instantly. It takes around 10 seconds to load and in the mean time I get the "(Not responding)" message at the top of the window. I went into game mode with the hair on my Sim and the whole game became incredibly slow and buggy and would flash the "(Not responding)" message once every 10 seconds, looked like it was threatening to crash. Only a couple of CC hairs I have do this, the rest is all fine. I dont't know if I could explain it properly so I will try to link a video, hopefully it makes more sense.

  • Hi! The person who made the CC doesn't seem to be very good in English so I don't know how to bring up technical issues like this with them... 😢 I also have another CC that does this from another artist, so I thought maybe it's a universal issue, at first I thought one of my CC was broken so I brushed it off as only one corrupted mod but this is my second time getting this issue and it does that for every single CC hair by that artist.

    I would test this hair in Sims4Studio (You can it download for free, it’s a great tool to fix broken CC and disable CC for randoms // You find your used CC in game if you push my CC-Button). Maybe the polycount for this hair is too high. A polycount from 2000-7000*LowPC 10'000*Mid-HighPC is okey, all above can cause lags/freezes, especially if is something as 20’000.
