(WIP) A.I. Upscaled Food
This mod override the game food’s (also pans, cutting tabble, plates and etc) textures with one upscaled and hand cleaned.
Please note that this is a work in progress and will take a while to finish.
I understand that they have to follow the “small objects have low resolutions” thing, but I really wanted more ‘zoomable’ food so… Here it is. It’s the original game texture, but instead of a pixel mess, it’s cleaner and may make you hungry.
As said before, it’s a work in progress, the game have a stupid amount of food, some are quite difficult and others have multiple ones, so it will take time. And since I’m a human, I can do mistakes, feel free to warn me about it.
The texture is going to be upscaled to 4x by an A.I. and cleaned by me, creating a smooth look. (Going more than this don’t do any noticeable change, since the usual size is 128×128, and the mod have 512×512, the A.I. also make it looks sharper than a simple photoshop scaling)
And yes, it include everything about food: Food itself, pans, fork, plate, cup, ingredients, drinks and etc.
The fork replacer is in a separate file in case you already use one or don’t want it.
Last update progress:
Base game: About 40% done.
Journey to Batuu: Done.
City Living: 2% Done.
Outdoor Retreat: 1% Done.
Get to work: 1% Done.
Other DLCS: Not Started.
(If you see something marked as “done” but you still see low resolutions stuff, feel free to comment about it)
See the article for development progress.
Note: Even tough the texture are upscaled and fixed, some (like the cereal and the Batuu’s popcorn mix) are still are weird and may looks the same.
Some textures parts didn’t upscaled well and I had to recreate it.
If you want to remove some specific ones, just unmerge with sims4studio and it will be all labeled. (If it start with ‘Big’ means that it’s the same food with 4x or 8x on it, if in the end have ‘Hand’ means that is the same food but used when you sim take it on the hand, if in the end it have ‘2’ means that it’s doubled in the system files and I fear leaving it and not upscaling everything, and all drinks start with ‘Drink’.)
Before and After images are made on sims4studio (because it’s a lot easier to show) and have a buggy look with transparencies, also not showing the full look of it. In game it also have some shine and depth effects to enhance the look.
No DLC is needed to work, even if the DLC is in the mod.
