I will use this article to post how it's going at the end of each production day, well, try, not sure if I will keep it. Also, I don't want to spam updates in this mod, so I'll wait a big progress to do it.
Note that images here use Sims4studio and does not have a lot of effects and is a lot glitchy.

I managed to find a WAY quicker way to do the upscales, so things will be REALLY quicker now, which means that the next mod update will be 3 packs in one, finally allowing me to remove the WIP from the mod name.
- Also: PRETTY CAKES!! They don't change much when I try to show it all, but they got a lot better.

- All Seltzers will have a new model like all sodas have. They don't appear in the object, so it's not going to be heavy.

Cinnamon Bun, surprisingly it wasn't a problem to upscale:
Extra, Pizza rolls and avocado toast, two things that I've never seen in game but looks nice:
There's more to do for other packs tomorrow, probably eco lifestyle or realm of magic

- The Palak Paneer serving have a part going out of the plate, this mod have a model replacer to fix it now:
- Butter Chicken had swapped normal maps, it's now fixed.
- Chocolate Mouse already have the same size as this mod foods and don't need changes.
If you look at the whiter part of the orange, you will see how weirdly blurry it is, at least it's finished.

- Fitness and my first pet is done.
- Fitness drink looks horrible and the depth texture had horrible black dots everywhere, it's fixed but I've never actually have even seen it in the game so... maybe it's not even used...
- My first pet actually looks quite nice with a interesting shine.
- Just need to finish the specter sip, apparently it will not be very different from the update 13 version (a little less messy for sure) wanted to keep the creepy, vintage or whatever vibe, but I have no clue on how it should look.
- Apparently there's a candy that your sim takes to eat while eating from the candy jar, but I can't find the texture anywhere... I'll try to extract the game files, to find it (unless it's again in another pack)
- In general it looks great, the candy jar was cleaned with help of Blender, it's now free of seams that the game have. (Except the fitness thing, it looks way too weird and I'm not in the mood to fix a thing that I've never seem in 2000 hours playing this game)

- Finished Get to Work, it was less than I expected.
- A lot of things has been redone, like, really, it's a lot better, especially the white and blurry stuff.
- One that I recreated was a brownie that had coconut on it. It upscales in a total blur, so I tried to do myself. You also can see that the leaf color is changed to fit the original. (It's a mint leaf by the way)
- A lot of small things changed too, like the cookies drawings that for some reason became an abomination, of course it was cleaned and all but was still a mess (I'm still keeping my flower cookie, since the other one was messed even in the new upscaler.)
-I'll post soon, just need to test and recreate the screenshots.
Edit: It's taking more than I wanted, did the testings and found some floating points (probably have more somewhere), and started doing prints but I have to summon the foods one by one with cheats since it don't appear on buy mode...

Dev. update 32 (DLC Texture Fix):
Spoiler:

- Since Get to Work is massive, I decided to do the others.
- Finished everything already, there wasn't much more.
- Revised some base game stuff too, it should fix even more stuff.
For who still didn't understood what is the problem (Well, more than some ugly upscales), there is a thing in a image called 'alpha'(probably what gave the alpha hairs that name), it's basically the transparency applied in a photo, because of that I don't had much control or way to test it easily and a lot of colors and important stuff are hidden there. Thing is that the game use color and alpha separately (even if it's the same image) causing some issues.
The previous upscaler cause the colors with transparency to disappear, creating a lot of black borders and stuff and I had to clean it all the time making it lose even more details(and a lot of time). Here is part of the sushi texture as an example:
Even if you can't see all that color mess from the previous look it's still really messed. The white borders are parts that I removed to fix the black borders but it's all fixed and has been applied to all transparencies now.

- Did cats and dogs and Get Famous, there wasn't much stuff to fix there, it's fine.

- One example is a... donut? Not sure what is this, but in the previous version it had a lot of artifacts.
(this is not the original mesh, the original don't have a hole in the middle)
An absolute mess, you can see a lot of blue artifacts in the white parts, wrong color in the chocolate shine as well a lot less details, the new one fix a lot of it... mostly, still a bit too messy for my taste but it's not getting any better.

- Doing the DLCs clean now, started with Batuu.
- It's all done already, it was annoying to do some since they are grey where it shouldn't for some reason.
- The biggest change is in the Batuu Bon, it didn't upscaled well in the Batuu brooch (or whatever it is) so I recreated with the help of a ingame icon.
It don't have all that detailed lightning that it have in the original but have depth and stuff. The important part is that now the "towers" have visually a diagonal top that just don't exist in the original.
Don't worry about blurry edges, it actually disappear in game and force it to make the borders more round.

- For comparison, here the Vegetable Dumplings in game version, how it was and how it is now:
Basically like it is in the original, but without wrong colors on the pasta an looking a lot less blurry.
Maybe not the best before and after image about the original but a good one to compare with the previous mod look.

- Late update but I have big news! For a while, I wasn't very happy with the current state of some stuff and started searching for others programs, today I've found a random option that turned off a big issue, making the creation of some stuff a lot better and easier.
- One example is this brownie, the AI was cleaning all the crackings making it plain and boring. Now although it don't seem much different (since the texture is fine for this) the cracks are back, making it way more like the original with all details.
Note: the leaf was changed for a less shitty one in the upscale. (It was changed from "I don't know what is this mess" to a mint leaf)
- Even thing that would took a long time and maybe be fully redrawn was done a lot easier.

Dev. update 14 (Get to Work):
Spoiler:

- Started Get to Work.
- All drinks are done. (Well, there's only 2...)
- Fixed the plate texture because some details was kinda off.
- Merged version now don't have any file that don't have something to do about the food, this should fix things like english names in other languages, probably remove the modded icon in the foods and add a lot of compatibility with other mods.
- Did a lot of cookies!
- One in specific wasn't upscaling properly, so I did a new one based on something that my drawing skills allow me to. (It have it's proper shine and stuff to not just look like a drawing, don't worry)

- Get Together started
- All Drinks done
- Fixed small Coffee-in-the-mug texture
- Fixed Pollo a la Brasa black borders in the fries.
- Redone secondary coffee in the mug texture because in the original texture look, it seemed spoiled but the files call it "Milk coffee", so I'm changing it. (No matter what I do, I can't find any way to make that texture to appear(even with debug cheats), so I'm guessing that it's really it.)
- Redone the teacup foam because it looked weird and too white (Also added a depth on it to not look weird)

Dev. update 10:
Spoiler:
- All drinks are finally finished.
- Base game's "To Go" coffee is done, it will probably change for all dlcs too, it have a new depth map for the liquid swirl and less pee color too.
- Cans were looking awful too, upscaling wasn't working well so I used another model, replaced the can texture and recreated lines as writings because now it have size for this. Can you read the simlish?

- Over 50 files, they took a long time to put all files and fix it, so it's quite the advance.

Sorry for my messed up anti-aliasing on the thing of the drinks, it's actually smooth.

Spoiler:

- There's something like 60~90 files for general drinks, although it have multiple textures, it seems like I did all drinks in one file(update: I didn't), but I'm going to do all just in case and for the separated version.
- Did a red cup and the coffee too. (The coffee seems to have worked for all)
- Bar drinks liquid seems to looks weird in a sharp look, so I added a blur to feel more liquid:
(Rendered on blender because sims4studio wasn't helping, also, cleaning mostly only remove the unwanted colors like red, so it's not very different from the current image.)
