Hi to all. I would like to share this with you because I'm getting mad and it seems no one has this "problem".
I have a lot of custom hair and they work perfectly. However, some hair (not many) need about 1 or 2 seconds to be loaded in cas and same happens during game. So, having a sim with "laggy" hair slows game. On the other side, I have very complex hair that get loaded immediately.
Ok, I know, it's not a problem to wait 1 or 2 seconds but I'm curious... Anyone has this "problem"? Is it a matter of polygons? I don't think so... complex hair (such as nightcrawler, wingsimsis, anto) are very fast in loading. While custom ea-like hair (such as those of SimsLaughLove) are laggy.
Thank you and have a nice day!

PS Mods are up to date, game too. When I update scripted mods I delete cache etc... and my computer matches recommended requirements.
I don't know what problems you are having, so I can only suggest possibilities, but maybe it has something to do with either your graphic card (which says how fast your sim image renders on screen), or the types of "LOD" (level of detail) the creators had when making the CC, and sometimes the CC they make is "HD compatible", and I've heard this has been causing slow loading problems when in game play of a non HD modded game (I never had this problem, even when I had HD CC on a non HD modded game). I'll try to explain as best as I can as I'm extremely new at this, and don't really know myself, but "Complex" hair doesn't mean "looks good" or "detailed non-maxis match", complex means how many polygons went into creating the hair, and how fast it can be rendered onto your screen when you load a game, so a "simple" looking maxis match hair could actually be complex hair; what you're looking for is the LOD of the hair, and the complexity/polygons of each LOD for the stages the games load into. Don't quote me, but the Sims 4 have about 3 LODs, one Poopie one, one Okay one, and the final Good Looking one; I believe LOD 3 is the Poopie one, with 2 being the Okay, and 1 being the Final, there's an LOD 0, which I think is also the final Good one, but for computers that doesn't need to (visibly) load up the rendering, and just go straight to the image of best quality.

If you have Sims 4 Studio (where I've gotten these terms from), you can check the LOD of a file, usually from 0-3; A long time ago, before I updated my graphic card, I had a complex hair that would show bald for the seconds to load my sim, and even go bald when that sim was highlighted or walked passed a highlighted item (most times another sim), when I checked it's LOD through S4S, I found that one of the LOD (can't remember which, but I think it was 1, 2, and 3) was empty, while only LOD 0 had the actual hair on it, I was able to fix my problem by exporting the mesh from LOD 0, and importing it into the other LODs, this even cause the hair to be one of the first things that loaded in my game :ROFLMAO:. (To tell you the truth, I don't know if what I'm saying is actually the fix, or if it just worked for me in some miracle coincidental way!)

I have a question for you, when you load a sim game, do your sims render "ugly"/blocky and jagged for a while, and then smooth out over time, and during this time period, is this when you'd say the hair is "loading in"? If your sims are insta loading smooth, and it's just the hair, I can't help you, but if you have bald sims, and then when the sims smooth out, the hair "appears", you might be having the issue I'm speaking of. You can attempt a troubleshoot by opening the file in S4S, opening it in the "My projects" section, and in the tab that says "Meshes", go to Level of Detail drop down, and click on each level to see if there is a mesh on each LOD; if when you do this, and each LOD has hair, then the problem might be your graphic card, or something unknown to me and I can't help you on this one, if an LOD is missing a mesh/image, try doing what I said above and hope it fixes.

Also, you seemed to have a lot of hairs that is doing this to you, and for that, my condolences, especially if it's the CC's LOD fault, I only had one hair do this to me, so I was able to easily fix it, but a few ancient Marigold hairs had this problem also, and I just ended up deleting them, because they had more than slow rendering as a problem, this might end up being your only solution.

Hope this could be of some assistance for you, and if anyone knows anything else, feel free to contradict what I've said and lend a hand.

I've checked and it seems like yiff.party has latest versions of his mods.
upd: And they are free on patreon as well.

Is there any other sims content on that site? I'm scared to look.

There's a lot of furry stuff there, but there's also a lot of non-furry stuff there. Just. Look. Go there and look. You won't be exposed to any icky yucky furry porn just by going there, or browsing the activity page. You have to click in to an individual profile before you see anything more than a work safe patreon avatar icon.

If you use noscript you'll need to allow datatables and gstatic to get the site fully functional.

Is the yiff only for sac’s mods?

Yiff.party is just a platform. The content you'll find there depends on users. If you'll be clicking every creator you see - nobody knows what you will see. But if you'll use search - you should be safe.

I can share the list of creators I've found there. I can't guarantee that it is complete, there might be more.
You need to import the following array of IDs.
Code:
[15394643,12667513,5522657,5913875,17370024,6570650,11546673,7188068,15473367,7458044,11566654,9612713,4644470,15120185,7277648,9751469,13362272,2581854,5863171,13951683,7071300,22844172,7393867,15193361,6082244,16611245,4528838,6660288,10379644]

Kind of a broad request, but if willing, can anyone tell me the name of any creators on DWP that makes sim poses? (particularly single sim poses, female while I'm at it, though I suspect the latter is the default) I've seen the ones from Overkill Simmer, and was wondering about the other creators on there (I've always seen CC, so I found myself surprised when remembering poses are uploaded there, too); I'm hunting for poses for a sim photoshoot, and was wondering if DWP would have some high quality ones, it's basically a recommendation request. (I don't normally work with poses, so I'm at a lost who's the "hot seller" in the pay wall communityo_O)

Never played Sims 4, just want to use it to fap and have fun.
Is this mod pack a good starting point? I was looking for mods packs for fapping but this is the only one I could find so thanks for that at least!

Sorry if it's been asked, I checked back a bit and didn't see it, but does anyone have any of AggressiveKitty's build sets or really any of her stuff from here: ? Mainly wanted the January Brutalism set if anyone has it and wants to share. <3

Wow, thank you for your big answer... ok, now things are much more clear... :giggle:
However, the answer to your question is... no, no "ugly" sims, everything loads fast... sometimes, with 3rd speed, few sims (usually those with "bad" hair) are invisible, then show up when I put normal speed.
I have about 14.5gb of custom content (hair, dresses, makeups etc). Luckily this problem only happens in few hair (and I can do without them). I will , however, try export/reimport with s4s. It's not a big problem, as I said before, but some of this hair are quite nice and I would try to "save" them from the delete option.
As for my videocard... mmh, ... I have a Radeon R9 390 and the game runs on a ssd hard disk... It seems, as you said, that is only a hair problem, so I have to check one by one... wish me good luck :eek:
Thanks again for your big and enlightening answer, have a nice day!
