#hq mod

The Base game (BG) HQ replacement files have been updated for game version 1.125.59.1030 DX11.

> > > REPLACEMENT FILES HERE < < <

This update adds new textures, but it's not absolutely necessary to re-download. If you don't care about EA content, the old HQ mod files work just fine.

Why it took so long and future prospects:

Updating basegame files got more and more difficult with increasing file sizes, requiring several workarounds that eventually stopped working this time. To combat this, I updated S4PE and HQ texture converter (LINK).

I also provided tutorials for converting and maintaining HQ mod files here: LINK

General notes:

BG_HQ file names contain the date to allow better tracking of which version you have in your game. One older version is kept on googledrive just in case. Please download the newest version, which goes by 2026-07-17.

WW-users, be aware that WW skintones are separated and are to be placed in an overrides folder. See here: LINK. Any default replacement that would clash with HQ mod is advised to be placed in an overrides folder.

I'm sorry for making you wait! Life got in the way.

As always, find the replacement files here:

The following packs are now included:

EP21 (Royalty & Legacy)

SP76 (Silver Screen Style Kit)

SP61 (Prairie Dreams Set)

Special thanks to @sometimeski !!

Updated basegame files will come soon.

I haven't forgotten about this!I have gotten the MVP version of the 4k upscaler working. I've learned to never move a C# project to a different location because it took me 2 hours to get set up again. Also having to remember how to code in C#.

I still need to add:

make sure LRLEs work

load from folder option

model name option

whether you resize or not

In addition to the new textures, I attempted to fix the compression artifacts in sims skins again (forehead and chest) and while not entirely gone, they did improve compared to version 2025-07-22 (see below).
