Alright sir, I have a final response. I ended up not going back to a 2mb file, because I really liked how the scarf turned out in one of the 480mb files. So that all ended up working out and running fine. I think there was a combination of subdivisions and cloth movements that bumped up file sizes too much.
I was also able to find the sliders (I am a noob for this one) and get the detailed scarf to show up in all modes. Thanks for the help here.
I am finished now and I really like how it turned out. You were great at explaining everything and awesome at answering my questions here so thank you again!

Here is my final image if you would like to check it out.
I am a noob fr, so one more question. Do you have a suggestion on where to go from here? I am subscribed so have access to the courses, do you recommend anything in particular? I will keep plugging away regardless. Have a solid evening!
