How can you turn on the HQ mods Sims 4?

With this option on, the game loads all the HQ textures such as 4096X2048. Additionally, when the mod is off, it starts loading the normally-sized textures such as 2048X1024.

• As it is with any High-Quality mod present in the Sims 4 game, the non High-Quality items tend to show up in the black colour
• In order to use the mod in a proper way, you have to download the High-Quality game files right from the Alf-SI HQ mod & use the compatible version of the HQ mod.
• This download also includes the .package file & the .sgr file. You need to make sure that the same files are put in correct places within the game.
• The file .package shall go into the mod folder (pathway- documents/electronic arts/sims4)
• The file .sgr will go in to the game’s bin folder (pathway- origin games/sims 4/game/bin). Keep in mind that you should back up the original file named graphicsrules
• After you have started the game with some HQ textures, it might fail to turn on in a way similar to something you might have thought of. You might have to reapply the graphics options in order to enable the same again.

Additionally, when using the HQ mod for uncompressed textures, you need to keep in mind that the only way to apply them without any loss of image quality is to use the same without the non-HQ textures. If you happen to use the edited version of GraphicsRules.sgr in conjunction with the non-HQ based textures, the same might not work perfectly.

Correct Texture Size

• Rles (Specular Map)- for Maps and Masks 1024X2048
• Rle2 (Shadow Maps, Diffuse)- 2048X4096
• Normal Map (Bump)- Not Critical to the Scenario

Possible Issues and their Correct Solutions

• If the sim or a part of the same has black textures, this suggests that there is a presence of incorrect shadow due to the diffuse map. If you aim to locate it, you would be required to change all the wearables worn by the Sims character to some standard stuff like from basegame such as clothes, skin, hair, tattoos, makeup, etc.
• If all the Sims 4 reflections tend to disappear, this means that there is an incorrect variant of the specular map. If you aim to locate it, you would be required to change the wearables in a pattern as stated above.
• If all your Sims character looks black, it might be possible due to incorrect variant of diffuse map. In order to find the same, you have to change the wearables as stated in the first point.

In case the above doesn’t work:

• Check the mods folder for the presence of Mod Conflict Detector
• Move this to another place away from all the CC present in the default mods folder.

If things still don’t work, you can try to:

• Move all the CC from the Mods folder to another place. This location should be right beside the Resource file
• Download the files for your basegame and move into the mods folder
• Change the GraphicsRules file
• Run the Sims game & check the standard sims characters, not yours. If they are fine, you are good to go
• If not, check the package files (you can find the Resource.cfg file in the mods folder)

If the HQ still looks like a non-HQ post game update, make sure you check the game options & GraphicsRules.sgr.

How can you make this CC compatible properly with the HQ?

In order to add compatibility, you have to resize your textures. This can be done automatically with use of the HQ textures. You can also do the same manually by:

• Open package & extract the rle2/rles files
• In this package, you can locate tutorials with regards to the Import of textures and batch export in the Sims 4 game Studio. You can also look for the same with the Image Size/Batch options within the Photoshop CS6.
• If you happen to get the rle2image/rlesimage, you need to rename the same or make use of the converter.
• If the S4S closes when you make use of the Import Sims/Batch Export Sims 4 Studio, you have to reduce the total number of the imported and exported images. You can also make use of the dds meant for import.

How can you make the GP/SP/EP compatible with the HQ?

In order to make the GP/SP/EP perfectly compatible with the HQ, the process is fairly similar to the CC. You have to convert the rle2 or rles from the packages.

Follow this pathway:

<path to game folder>| <number> | ClientFullBuild0.package

<path to game folder> | Delta| <number> | ClientDeltaBuild0.Package

The first pathway is to be followed after installation and the second one is to be used after the game patches. Also, make use of the conflicts checking option. You could check for the presence of something that is within the base game already.
