Nice! Who's your redhead there if you don't mind me asking.

 

Also something I have to ask, is the eye color on Rita deliberate? I wouldn't mind if it was, just something that struck me because I use non-defaults for my sims, and you know if you don't have those colors then it resets to the default light brown (can't quite tell if she has that or greenish eyes). On my end she's got blue eyes, though yeah non-default so will reset if you don't have that CC.

Oh I didn't even notice her eye color being different. No I didn't change that. The only thing I changed was that I gave her a little wrist tattoo, that's all. I also use non-defaults on the redhead girl and I will include that file in the downloads as soon as I'm happy with her. Thing is, I've never downloaded your "Shared CC" folders, if her eye color isn't included in the download file then I've probably missed out on it and if it is, then I'm just an idiot that overlooked it. Do you happen to have the file to hand so I can fix that little mistake?

 

The redhead girl (Vivienne) is about 85% done. Shouldn't take long till she's finished. ?

I use these by PralineSims https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-sets-eyecolors/title/oasis-eyes-n155/id/1433477/ though really it'd probably be more consistent with your own game and the replacements or non-defaults you use if you just replicated it with your own content (that's what I always do with sims I download off others).

Some old photos of Vito and Rosa on their honeymoon.  After the conclusion of The Simsfather, Part I, I have been arranging different set pieces in order to "world-build" as a build up for Part II.  You can find the full set for the honeymoon as well as the other set pieces here.

The Sims 4 Game Create HQ Sim
This HQ mod would upgrade the Sims 4 textures to 4K along with a few additional changes.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 
In the following in step, I will begin to describe what is required and give you the URL links where you can download all of the required files in order to make your game HQ Mod ready.

In step 1
HQ Mod makes a way for Sim CAS items such as genetics (skin tones; skin textures; hair; eyes; eyebrows; teeth); makeup; tattoo; clothing; shoes; accessories to use graphics that are double the standard resolution. Imagine if we saw a much crisper, sharper and more detailed fabric texture on clothing. This is what HQ Mod can offer.
CAS item has been changed. But basically a HQ Mod compatible content uses a texture size of 2048x4096. EA Maxis standard is half of that at 1024x2048.

In step 2
In brief, 64-bit Windows10 Pro allows games and applications to do a number of things better and faster, but most notably it allows full access to the entire amount of RAM found in computers built with over 4GB RAM (typically 8GB and 16GB systems).
So that is where we are at today. It's hard to find anything that has 32-bit Windows10 Home and even if you did find something, it's bargain-basement low-end stuff that is not powerful enough for gaming and does not meet the system requirements published by EA Maxis.
If all is well in your The Sims 4 and you have the typical 8GB RAM or more then you're good to go with HQ Mod. Again, presuming that you have met or exceeded the system requirements for the game in all other areas such as CPU and Video.


In step 3
HQ Mod compatible Custom Content is ready and can immediately be used in a HQ Mod game. 

Any Custom Content that has no specific description by the Creator and is not HQ Mod compatible will not be able to be used unless it is first converted and made compatible. CC like this will often make the entire Sim turn into a black silhouette or a uniform flesh color. It doesn't break the rest of the game for choices in CAS, but that particular piece of CAS item does not work and you have to choose something else.

So you're left with a choice. In 2020, the marketplace for CC has shifted dramatically in favor of Creators of CC making their CAS content HQ Mod compatible. 
But the choice is yours. Bear in mind, that there is so much HQ Mod content out there now. On TSR (The Sims Resource); Patreon; Tumblr and all over the world. And it's not hard to find HQ Mod CC anymore.


In step 4
You will need to do a few things:
1.) Edit a game configuration file with a simple text editor such as Windows Notepad.
2.) Download several files into your Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods Folder.
3.) Change some settings in the game. 

In step 4.1 Edit the GraphicsRule.sgr file
Please follow the following steps precisely and in order:

1. Go to your installation directory (where the game has been installed). Typically it is found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 4\Game\Bin
2. Find the file: GraphicsRules.sgr and make a copy of the file and save it with a new name (suggestion: GraphicsRulesBackup.sgr).
3. Open the original file with Windows Notepad.
In most cases, you will have to teach Windows 10 that this .sgr file type can be opened with Notepad. To do that, you can right-click on the GraphicsRules file and select the option "Open with..." After a short wait, a window will open asking you to answer how you would like to open the file. You should navigate that window and scroll until you find the Notepad program. You can optionally place a tick in the check box to always open .sgr files with Notepad if you want. Click OK when ready.
4. A new Notepad window will now open and you will see a document that has many lines of instructions designed to configure the game to run on your computer. You need to scroll down until you find the following section:

5. Now you must edit the text to be the same as the highlighted changes in the image below.
6. Save the GraphicsRules.sgr file

In step 4.2 Download the HQ Mod textures
Over the years there have been a few people who have gone to all the effort to convert all the Base Game and packs so that the textures for all the CAS content is HQ Mod compatible.

Alf-Si was perhaps the pioneer of this and we recognize and thank her for the work she started.

Because of the EA June 2020 Patch, Default Eyes; Default Eyebrows and Default Makeup now require HQ textures.

You are now ready for the final stage of your setup for HQ Mod.
In step 4.3 In-game Settings
Launch your The Sims 4 game.
Go to Menu - Game Options - Graphics.
Change your settings as shown in the picture below. Most notably, you must have the graphic setting for Sims on Very High.

Please Creator Note:
Not all CAS items can be converted to HQ Textures.
However that may change in the future as I understand the Sims 4 Studio (S4S) has begun to include the framework to support import/export for LRLE Images as of S4S v3.1.3.4. But so far this doesn't export into a workable file format such as DDS Image where it can be worked with for conversion to HQ.

So that means you will find some Face Paint category items will make your Sim all-black or all-flesh colored. Which simply means that CAS item doesn't work and you will have to choose something else.

I certainly do have some winner energies going on in my life, since my hard drive decided to die on my as I had just like a couple of pages of pictures left to assemble in order to finish a new chapter. Good news is that I managed to scrap most of the info from it. Bad news was that I still needed to wait for a couple of month to afford a new one. But now I'm back and kicking. The new chapter The Pursuit is out with a complementary lot if anyone wants a rough-ish looking nightclub as a backdrop.

 

Here's a couple of pictures from the story and outside of it.

"I'm going to go to this bar, haven't been here for a long time. Hmm, nice bartender. I wonder if he makes cocktails as well as he looks?"

"Okay, let's try. Well, not bad, very good."

"-Something they had more interesting. There is ale on the tap, I'll order it..."

15_02.2022_18-24-20.png.c44f6d1d5479e69be6ff04c119c15679.png

 

"- Man, did you piss in there or something!? Even so, this ale will not become worse than it already is!"

 

15_02.2022_18-24-49.png.39d1b8bec3b832f9fbb0c47d3e0a1095.png

 

"- Why did I just get stuck in this fucking bar, apparently drinking donkey piss ..."

The bartender, mentally: "Next time I'll add something stronger to your fucking ale, since you don't like real Duinness. Your own shit, for example. The bitch is picky."

 

:P
