How to extract the parts? I'm using 7zip and I'm extracting to the same folder all at once but I get errors

Usually I just select all and click extract, but you can extract the first part and keep selecting the next one as he ask for it. Just make sure you are extracting the same, like all 3 separated parts together.

(And sorry that I accidentally changed your post to 'thanks')

Update: Now I understand what are you talking about and added a help in the downloads section.

Thank you so much. I was hoping someone would one day take on this daunting task as the alternative food texture overrides were too alpha for me.

After unpacking both merged files, I can't start the game, I'm getting error that this file (ai upscaled food) is corrupted.

Just downloaded and tested, it's all working. Try downloading again or updating your 7zip/winrar

my 7zip is correctly updated, I have tried downloading the file multiple times, and yet I still have similar errors as reported by others. I'm downloading the merged file. I don't usually have problems with archives and have downloaded multi-part files from MTS in the past.

The mod was compressed with winrar, maybe it's a program incompatibility? I'll try to replace the downloads with one done by 7zip.
Edit: 7zip only compress .zip and the site don't accept mult parts in .zip, so...

I've downloaded and extracted several things today, but this is the only one that has given me problems. Both the merged and the separated versions have something wrong with them that keep giving me errors, so I am unable to confidently install the mod. Which is a shame because I REALLY want this kind of mod.

Added a whole new tutorial for it in "multi part downloads" in the files tab.
Make sure you are following it before commenting about how it don't work. It IS working, tested with WinRAR and 7zip, the problem is this site that keeps changing the file names and the 7zip that can't extract two parts with different names.

If it still didn't work, I will just remove the mod from this site, since he can't handle big files.

Yup, the file name being different is the issue. I should had known. Currently started the game without Snowy and no problems so far.

I got it to work now. Just from the previews one can see the difference, but seeing it in game is really wonderful. The SE foods especially looked so terrible before, and now everything is so crisp! I hope you can manage to finish all the other food. Thank you for sharing.

Here a little easter egg: all drinks in that pack are readable, but in a simlish font.

This is cool. What program are you using to upscale?

I use Topaz AI, but I'm searching for one more for cartoons, since he left way too much artifacts and it's really annoying to fix.

It was confusing at first, but when I came back to the instruction, I realised I only have to delete all the MTS filename stuff and leave {allipscaledfood} as a filename. If you are confused like me, go read it once again to make sure

It looks so much better! I hate how so many things in the game are so blurry and low resolution even on the highest settings. I can't imagine how nice the game would look if everything was scaled up like this.

Most part of the blurry things are small and don't make that much difference since the game actually cut down the resolution constantly to save your pc resources (it's a quite commom way) and with that, at the usual camera distance you don't see much difference (sometimes they go too far tho) but it's one of the reasons why the game runs so well, it's bad when you look close for photos or something, but in general would just cause a big slow down.
Although I don't agree with it on foods...

What an immense task you have taken on and what wonderful results it is producing!
While personally I don't play the game close enough for this to make a difference to my gameplay, I will most certainly be getting the fix for the ambrosia.
Thank you.
