The HQ mod.

1. It is not recommended for normal gameplay unless you've got a powerful system. It can be quite taxing. Also, during normal gameplay you're probably not going to have your camera in your sims' faces the whole time, so you'll be unlikely to notice the benefits.

2. Not in game. You turn it 'off' by substituting back in your original graphics.sgr file.

3. It depends what your default settings are. You need to turn your sim detail and texture detail settings up to the highest in order to take advantage of the mod.

4. If you use custom content that's been designed to take advantage HQ, understand how to light your sims correctly, and zoom in very close, it does make a difference.

5. See 1

6. I'll leave this for the more computer-savvy people to answer, but I will say that the mod can be taxing on your graphics card if it's a lower end one.

Okay I have an HP Laptop with Windows 10 and it is 64 Bit, so would it be safe to download the HQ mod for my laptop. I'm really interested in CC and mods for my Sims 4 game and I am sure everything is updated I just don't want my computer to explode or something equally as horrible lol. My main fear is that the mod works best with Mac and it would destroy my laptop. Am I good or nah?

My laptop isn't really the best for running Sims,so the HQ mod seems like it might take a lot of strain on my laptop thanks very much for your help:)

No problem!

If you'd like more help deciding you can see comparison pictures here and here.

Quick question can you have base game mods when you have HQ mods on?
