Can also speed up live mode and loading, it’s essentially a general improvement. This mod makes the game’s logic threads run faster, speeding up loading of Buy/Build and CASt, smoother UI elements, smoother CAS. Some people don’t see much change, others see a huge improvement. There’s a small bug where the game doesn’t remember your option, which means you will have to re-apply graphics settings every time you restart if you want to keep HQ always on.Yeah, you read correctly, I said Sims 3:)ĭisclaimer: This mod is not an all in one solution for lag Essential improvements like NRaas mods, Graphics Rules and 4GB patching your game are still recommended, and your mileage may vary depending on your system. sgr file goes in your game bin folder (in \origin games\sims4\game\bin) - make sure you back up your original graphicsrules If the configoverride folder doesn't exist because you're on an old patch or legacy edition sgr file goes in your configoverride folder (in\ documents\electronic arts\sims4\configoverride) package file goes in your mods folder (in \documents\electronic arts\sims4) sgr file, make sure you put the files in the correct places. The HQ base game files are required, but the packs are optional.Īnd, you need to use HQ-compatible CC (or convert it using CmarNYC's handy tool). To use this properly, you need to download HQ game files from sims4hq. As with any HQ Mod in sims 4, non-HQ items show up as BLACK. With the option on, your game loads HQ textures (4096x2048), and when it's off it loads normal sized textures (2048x1024). With this mod, you'll always have uncompressed sim textures. The HQ Mod switch in the graphics options replaces 'Uncompressed Sim Textures' option. Non-HQ Textures Will Show as Black (read on to find out how to fix).Disables DOF and SSAO for optimal Reshade use.4k Shadow Maps (When Lighting Quality is on Very High).Option Applies Immediately (No Game Restart Needed).Fixes Low Res Object CC Textures (Max Texture Res Changed From 1024x1024 to 4096x4096).Adds Switch (off/on) for HQ Mod in Graphics Options.If you intend on playing with HQ, your game may run worse, and all the HQ CC will take a lot of disk space up.

I personally use this for screenshot taking only. It also adds a couple other graphical improvements, like higher resolution shadow maps, and higher resolution object CC textures. This mod adds the HQ Mod to your game, but with a switch to turn it off / on in the graphics options.
