HQ mod?

[Mackenzie_Lily]

Hi, first off I want to thank all of you guys who helped me out in my earlier post. It helped me alot  and now that I'm used to using mods and packages, I need help on where to get an HQ mod. I really want it a lot and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Also I need it compatible with patch 1.31.
Thank you in advance!

What does HQ mean?

I'm moving this thread to the Mods board for you, Mackenzie.  It will be more likely to be seen by someone familiar with Mods.

I can't say that I'm the most familiar with the HQ "mod," but I'll give you what I know. I put mod in quotation marks, because it's not a mod in the sense that it's a .package file you can drop into your Mods folder, but it's instead a modified GraphicsRules.sgr file that goes in the main game files.

Anyways, GraphicsRules.sgr is located in Program Files (x86) -> Electronic Arts or Origin Games (depending on how you installed the base game) -> The Sims 3 -> Game -> Bin. The HQ Mod provides a file that replaces GraphicsRules.sgr, so backup your original file (this is important! If you want to take out the HQ Mod, you need the original to go back in to your game files. So move the original to your desktop or a thumb drive), and then replace it with the new file.

I can also PM you links to a couple of helpful sites for more (and better) info.

For anyone wondering what the HQ Mod is, it's a modification that allows for higher-resolution textures in the game.

Hello, thank you everyone for helping me with modding.
And now that I'm used to it, I want to try out the HQ mod but currently I only have Late Night and Showtime and my patch is only upto 1.31 (don't ask me why I don't update) so I want a link to a download page for a HQ mod compatible with my patch level. Please help me if you can?

Welcome to the forum, Mackenzie Lily.  I'm moving this to the Game Modifications Board for you.

S-Club has 1.32 if that might help, otherwise I would suggest messaging one of the creators and asking for the file, as they may have the old copy still, but don't keep in available online.

Welcome to the forum.

I'll merge this with your existing thread, from December. Trip has some good information there.

I finally got one to work, and it looks great! Well, better than what it used to look like, at least. Can you guys give me some links to some very-realistic looking skins? I love this one- [link removed - Trip] but I can't seem to get it to work. It only shows up as a skintone in the game, with no details. I've had experience with skins before and I mostly use Tifa's and Ephemera's skins, this is by far the only problem I've had with getting a skin to work.

Mackenzie, I removed the link to the skin because we don't allow links to CC on the forum.

I don't have an answer to your question, though.
