CC Freezing Game
Basically, I've had some problem with the alpha hairs that I have in my game. The timeline goes as follows:
Had a laptop that was running the game fine, with cc and all. I purchased another laptop because the other one was having issues in other respects, though the game itself still ran fine. This second laptop is where the problem began. Certain cc hairs would cause the problem. When selected, the game would freeze for a few seconds while these loaded. Any other changes, such as clothing, would also freeze for a few seconds while the problem hairs were on. With this laptop I repaired Origin, updated drivers, uninstalled the game, uninstalled Origin, used only the problem cc hairs one-by-one to see if the mere volume was the issue (it wasn't), downloaded Sims4Studio to try running batch fixes, used every different graphics setting combination I could think of, and even tried to move the files from my old computer (where the same hairs worked fine) to the new one in hopes that maybe they got corrupted in the process, no such luck. The conclusion I came to was that it was the processor clock speed, which was lower than my first one.
So at this conclusion, and after months of this frustration. I caved and bought a gaming computer. The specs of this are much better than both of its predecessors in this fiasco, and I hoped I was finally rid of the issue. Yet again, no such luck. Even on this optimized gaming computer with enhanced graphics, higher clock speed than the others (and quad core like the second one to boot), and all, the problem persists. I have once again tried all of the combinations of graphics settings and all of the things I tried before, with no solution. Everything else about the game on this computer runs like a dream. I wish I could just chock it up to broken CC, or even just my settings, but I think the issue is deeper. I'm at my wits' end a bit. Please help!
