s3hq (HQ Modification Helper) v1.0.0.0

Project: ts3tools Description: Application created to suppress patch-compatibility updates of HQ Modification;

The application will affect The Sims 3 GraphicsRules file for the original mod purposes.

Objective: Allow easy toggle between |enable/disable| |limit sizes| over the referring mod.

GUI
- Texture Size Multiplier 512px or 256px;
   - Switching the Texture Size Multiplier will allow different Texture Sizes to be set;
   - While 256px is not something I consider "significative" change, might help with the usage for some users.

Instead of having to rewrite a bunch of files everytime a patch comes out, this will, hopefully, be able to patch the GraphicRules from now on.
