Dach's HQ Mod

I tried to get Dach's HQ mod from their site, but it keeps saying "this blog is open to invited readers only" no matter what I do. Help?

This may be a dumb question, but why not just use AWT's HQ mod? http://awtmk.blogspot.nl/2011/07/s3hq.html

I'm curious too. I don't follow AWT's description.

From Simsl3gacies:

Quote:

What’s so great about HQ? These changes are really only seen when zoomed in close to your sim, thus is good for story telling and showing off your new Sim creations. My examples are rather poor, as my machine tops out at 1.5x the Very High graphics setting. Even still, the increase in detail is noticeable.

[...] Understand that this mod, indeed all HQ mods, are for enhancement. They are not a replacement for a good video card. They are not going to give you phenomenal graphics if you don’t already have that capability. HQ mods are intended for close-up graphic enhancement of the Sims themselves. HQ mods are also notorious for causing lag, due to the additional rendering load placed on the video card. “Go big or go home” does not apply here. Start small, and play and evaluate your game for several days before requesting something stronger.

So to summarize, it's really only good if you take lots of closeup photos of your sims (like for showing off custom content) and aren't satisfied by turning all the game settings up to the maximum. It takes a toll on your graphics card, and is not worth getting if you don't play closeup because the differences won't be noticeable from far away.

Ah, I see. I saw some description on Margaret Pendragon's blog as well. That makes sense. It's probably not worth the extra resources for me.

i created the mod and it is back on my site but it is not made for gameplay its made for storytelling and modeling...while the game is running its best to exchange it with maxis or to turn it down a notch because medium is maxis high setting...
