#ts4 hq mod

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.

(Please full-size to see the actual difference in quality! Tumblr compression sucks)
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!

A before & after comparison of my most recent edit!
Raw screenshot -> plus Gshade -> with extra editing.
I quite like the raw screenie aswell, but Gshade/Reshade brings SO much life and the desired atmosphere, it’s crazy how useful it is.
Also here’s my inspiration (is that even the right word in this context?) behind this edit, actually I wanted to kinda capture the vibes of this old one I did yeaaaars ago and make a new version.
#oh and I haven't used the HQ mod either#I love being able to do high quality screenshots#without the use of HQ mod#always wanted to reach that point!#ts4#my sims#aaron#behind the scenes/outtakes#before/after

HQ mod update 28th of september 2024 (Basegame, minor fixes)
The Base game (BG) HQ replacement files have been updated to fix some distorsion in skin textures. If you haven't noticed them or are using custom skins anyways, there is no need to update.
> > > REPLACEMENT FILES HERE < < <
BG_HQ file names contain the date to allow better tracking of which version you have in your game. The newest version goes by 2024-09-28

How to install / Use default Underwear in to the sims 4 with the HQ mod
For what reason my underwear doesn't work??
If you use the HQ mod, you know that to have it work correctly you need to install replacement HQ files, the problem with them is that when you install a cas override mod your game looks as if you had never put the mods on your mods file, this happens because you have two overrides at the same time and for overrides you can only have 1, so in this tutorial I will show you how to remove the Hq override that does not allow you to use the default mod of your underwear.
First
U must have to have the latest versions of the Hq file replacement of the base game. If you want to install the default HQ skin, check out my tutorial. The creator of these repalaces only has skin IDs, not default underwear IDs. To be more specific, the IDs are a list of numbers and letters that contain the names of the textures that we will need to delete from the packages: BG_HQ_6, BG_HQ_7, BG_HQ_8 (How to get these IDs in the second step)
Second
U must be donwload a text file that I created with the name of the Hq package replaces and their respective IDs. Donwload
And you will uncompress the zip; on that, you will have 3 files with the name of the 3 Hq base game replaces.
Third
Now i´ll explain u how use those files on the packages replaces. i´ll make the tutorial whit BG_HQ_6 but THE PROCESS IS THE SAME WHIT ALL PACKAGE I´LL ONLY SHOW U WHIT THIS BECAUSE IS LITERALLY THE SAME WHIT THE LEFT OVER!!
so.... we i´ll open whit the S4studio the package BG_HQ_6
With the opened package, we will copy the ID that is in the text file that has the same name as the package, and we will paste these on the S4 searcher.
After you paste the ID, you need to click on filter, select the image, and click on delete:
Remember save the changes!!!!
IMPORTANT
⚠To be careful at hour of deleting texture, you must be pretty sure that you are downloading an override for this texture. For example, if you delete all texture but only downloaded a CC default underwear for women, the left-over ages will have a black texture on their underwear, so when you delete the textures on the s4studio, check the age of the image (I suppose that you recognize the ages of the underwear textures)⚠
⚠I have only taken out a single swatch, more specifically the texture that appears when you remove the clothes from the sim for all ages. If the CC that you downloaded contains more than one swatch, it will not be seen in the game; the original texture that corresponds to it will appear. Taking out these IDs is very complicated; if you want more samples, you will have to do it manually⚠
Literally, that's all. It's not that complicated, just slow. If for some reason the S4 Studio is slow when you hit save, it's normal. Just let it load. Even if it doesn't respond, eventually it will. Keep in mind that you are deleting textures from a file. about 3 or 2 gb.
And that's all!! I hope that if you are having a problem with this, that tut can be useful, and if you want, you can see my default underwear for all ages that is compatible here ୨ৎ

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.
