#hq mod

Attention HQ users with Highschool Years EP

If you’re using HQ mod and own the EP12 (Highschool Years), please also download the EP12 replacement files here. This is an exception to the usual "base game is enough"-rule.

We’ve found that using only the base game HQ files without EP12 can cause glitches, including the HQ mod not functioning properly or sims switching outfits unexpectedly when Live Mode is unpaused.

If you don’t own EP12, no action is needed—this doesn’t affect you.

Looking for collaborators!!!

Here's a project I've been noodling on for some time now -- using ERSGANs to upscale Sims textures! I'm quite excited about the results so far. It's bittersweet to post about this though. I was hoping to collaborate with CmarNYC's on updating the HQConverter to use new techniques for upscaling. Without CmarNYC's HQ Converter, the current HQ mod would not even have been possible. Her contributions to the Sims community were so helpful and ubiquitous and she will be remembered. So right now the TS4k Upscale mod is a semi-manual process, of exporting textures using Sims 4 Studio, then upscaling those using chaiNNer, and importing those upscaled textures back into the package. So these screenshots are just a proof-of-concept. The program I'm imagining would be a blend of S4pi or S4TK, and using pytorch to upscale extracted images.

I can handle the Python portion, but I unfortunately do not know C# or JS. Admittedly I started this project last year and looked into the HQConverter source and S4pi and and then got overwhelmed. So... if anybody who is a little more savvy with C#/S4pi (or JS/S4TK) want to collaborate on creating the program together, please let me know. I would love to make this project a reality some day!

Finally took the leap and switched over to the HQ mod and the difference is amazing. This is a completely unedited screen shot from CAS without gshade. It was a bit of a pain converting my CAS cc (although I was surprised quite a lot of my favorite cc creators already were HQ compatible) but definitely worth it.

Not my sim. This beauty is by @thisisthem

extremely stupid fucking question that you might have been asked before but i couldnt find. do u still have the original image used for the leon mod, the tramp stamp specifically in any higher quality? trynna get that shit tatted. THANKS

i wish i could help you, but that image never existed in a larger size because i drew the tramp stamp directly onto the tiny gamecube sprite. it's a combination of multiple reference photos too. that said the creator of the mod for the og game scaled it up quite well so that might be hq enough for your purposes?

Thanks everyone for your interest in the TS4k Upscale mod! I'm still looking for a collaborator, so if you know C# please reach out to me ♡

@obscurus-sims had some great questions so I decided to take the HQ Lady out into play mode to demonstrate the differences. Check out the read more for the specifics!

Where this new method of upscaling shines is in face/body details, as well as clothing that have complicated normal maps, such as the pants.

In terms of file size, items that just have the diffuse map seem to be a bit smaller:

CC Items with normal maps are of a larger size -- but that's because the old HQConverter did not upscale normal maps. Normal maps are usually 1024x1024. In the TS4k upscaled version, they're 2048x2048. Hence the larger file size.

One last note is about compression. I don't know a ton about how TS4 compresses things, but something happens somewhere after what I see in photoshop, and what I see in game. The TS4k Upscale won't fix the artifacts you see because of compression. This is best demonstrated on dark clothing.

So to clarify, the TS4k Upscale mod would only work on upscaling textures (.png and .dds images). The limitations of compression in-game would unfortunately still exist.

So, I've just been trying to learn how to change meshes in Psychonauts 2. So far, only had luck with P1 Raz, but it's definitely something. Hopefully I can change HQ and the others, because I wanna play the whole game with a bag over his head.

[Slight side-effect is he has no shadow and his skin clips through his hair, but that's a rigging thing, I can fix that, since this mainly just a test to see if I could get it to work in the game].

This (what I was aiming for):

HI MOD SWORD IF IT'S YOU [Also hi to the other mods you guys deserve love too <333] I hope this isn't just a ME thing. But I genuinely believe some maps in the game should be reworked.... Like ROBLOX HQ for example. That map is sooooooo fucking bad. Genuinely. It's too small, it's so easy to spawn camp the other team if you manage to get the upper hand, some chars' phinishes [like Rocket's for example] are soooooo fucking finicky to use Like I see the dev team reworking other maps but why not the HQ???? It's a map that REALLY needs to be reworked and touched up so that it'll ACTUALLY be an enjoyable map to play on. - 🎐 anon [I HAVE RETURNED!!!]

HIIII!!!!!! yes its me mod sword hello :3

i agree tbh theres a lot of maps i think need reworks.. underground war is one of them its a very neat concept but i think its not done that well... the secret side tunnels are cool but they literally serve zero purpose in conquer it feels like the map was built for stealth characters when we HAVE NONE... like the caves lead directly to backlines but theres actually no POINT IN THAT bc hypers will snipe from the top of the rocks in the middle and everyone crowds the centre AS THEY SHOULD BC ITS CONQUER. not to mention how massive the underground is for no reason it really strikes me as an annihilate map that was randomly decided to be a conquer map last minute.. they couldve done something much cooler with the holes up top akin to the two paths out of spawn in bowling alley (i.e. have the Large Hole that everyone goes down and then turn the side paths into paths dug INTO THE WALLS for supports or snipers so they can have a perch or safer less direct way to get down to the centre... and it should stay a conquer map but have annihilate as an option bc tbh a rework for it would go SO HARD as annihilate.. or if they ever add capture the flag as a gamemode i think underground war would be such a good ctf map not even joking..... SORRY WOW IK THE ASK WAS ABOUT HQ BUT I NEEDED TO TALK ABT UW

anyways i really love hq because i get to throw my sword into the hallway and kill people :)
