All of my maxis match cc is fine but every one of my alpha hairs have blonde streaks/highlights. Iv'e seen a few topics saying I need to turn off laptop mode, but the thing is I have never had it on. So I don't know whats going on but it's like there is always something wrong with my game. Last week, the Sims would not even open, I fixed that. Two days ago, it would open but would say it was not responding and never load. Now theres blonde highlights and all the sims are set to one lighter skin tone and I can't change it.

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!
