September 2025 Update

TLDR:

Hey guys,

Phew what a wild two weeks. I hope everyone has been able to find updates for all of their favorite mods and finally get back into the game. It was somewhat unfortunate timing for that patch to drop right in the middle of early access for all of those mod updates, and I'm very thankful for anyone who decided to join the Patreon during this period. The truth is I don't put enough thought into things like "growth" on this page, and I recognize that there's a lot of silly little admin things that I need to do to make it more newcomer friendly, such as actually posting guides to each of my mods here in on this page since I don't post updates to LoversLab any more. That being said, August was financially my best month on Patreon since I started this page and it's finally starting to feel like this could be something sustainable for me. I'm extremely greatful to all of you who have stuck around for a while, everybody who stops in whenever there's a new update, and all of the new people who signed up for the first time - welcome, and I hope my mods bring you many fun and sexy hours of gameplay.

But enough about stupid money stuff, let's talk about what's coming next. With this update breaking almost every single mod I've ever created, it's made me realized that there's actually still a fanbase for some of my older or more experimental mods that I had written off in my head stuff I didn't think people were interested in or felt required too much work or care that I didn't feel either I or the audience had the passion to support. This means that there's plenty of room for dissapoint if updates for these mods never come. Now I know I can't please everyone and everybody has their own kinks they want to see represented in the sims. I also have my own passion to manage. ADHD makes my job significantly harder if there's no novelty in the work that I do (which is why I turned to modding in the first place). But I'd hate see someones precious legacy save have to end because one of my mods never gets updated again, or some other scenario. All of that is to say, I hear you and I'm getting to work. Here's what you can expect.

Right now I'm play testing an update my Free Use N.A.P. mod (mostly for Simulation Lag) which I've actually been updating sporadically since it's original release but never found a good window for release, so this will essentially be version 2.0 (now wish me luck trying to remember all the changes I've made). That should be out sometime this month.

Next, let's talk about the Immersive Cuckolds mod. That was a mod that I was really excited to create at first but rapidly found extremely tedious to implement. The initial impulse was simply to add the ability for cuckolds to offer up their partners to other sims. This was a pain to implement. Then there came a need to establish relationships with this third sim which lead to the Bull/Mistress Trait. Which lead gameplay for said Bull Trait. There was a lot of creativity juices flowing but with each idea came a lot of technical frustrations to try and implement said ideas. A big part of it is that the Sims 4 just does really have the capacity for tertiary relationship "bits", or relationships that involve three people with one person acting as an intermediary. It's why the family tree feature is so barebones bones and why townie households (especially early on in the sims 4's lifetimes) have almost no in game lore and all of the storytelling relies on household descriptions. Defining that someone is your husbands mistress, which means to you she's "the other woman," is theoretically feasible but requires a lot of finessing of interactions and broadcasters and all sorts of things. I never could get it right, and then on top of it would constantly run into mod constructor bugs due to all of the interactions involved. It was very demotivating to have all of these ideas, but have the techicalities of it constantly failing. But somehow I finally did release a version 1.0. But then a month later Lovestruck dropped and Wicked Whims didn't get updated right away. There was a lot of vitriol thrown a Turbodriver that made me frustrated with the overall Sims modding community, and mean while I couldn't continue working on IC because it's whole conceit requires WW to function. THEN when Turbo finally did update WW, he added the very thing that I had made IC for in first place- the ability for Cuckolds to ask someone to fuck their partner. I was not at all upset at Turbo for doing this, but it did make me lose all motivation continue updating the mod mostly given the technical involvement that went into. All of that being said! I know that wasn't the only feature of the mod. Hell there was actually so much more to the mod than that one interaction (which is actually several complex interactions stacked together in a very long trench coat btw). So I will definitely seek to implement some of that gameplay into either my existing mods, or a future mod if I feel there's enough content to justify it. Right now it's likely that I will incorporate it into Gay Archetypes BDSM system somehow but it could be spread across multiple mods as they relate to those mods (much like how the Big Dick update functioned.)

Finally there's been a lot of love for the Gainers and Feeders mod. And to be honest, it's a mod I love too. I even recently googled my stuff- mostly to try and figure out how y'all were finding my mods, and found some really lovely discussions on a weight gain forum lamenting on the lack of updates for this mod. I just haven't played with it nor updated it because behind the scenes it shares a lot of similarities with Muscle Worship. That is to say the things that make both of them what they require a lot similar things to be built in Mod Constructor. On top of that when I was first creating these mods, there were ideas I had for frankly both mods, but mostly Gainers and Feeders, that I just did not have the knowledge or skill at the time to implement. Some of it, I'm confident I could probably do now. I just previously hadn't had the impulse to go back to Gainers and Feeders and bring it up date. Well now that's changed. Between the fact that it's now officially broken and the passion I've seen rise up around it, I plan on tackling it as my next major mod update. No ETA as of yet, but know that an update is coming.

In addition to these updates I still really want to get back to work on making custom animations for Musk Mod. It's something I've been wanting to do from the very beginning of the mod, but it requires a skillset that I'm still building. The problem is I always have this subconscious worry that the time I take teaching and reteaching myself Blender is time I'm not spending on actual mod content, which means updates aren't coming out, and in a lot of ways, it means I'm not getting paid. While I recognize (and again am DEEPLY greatful to) the folks that stay subscribed regardless of how much new content gets put out each month, most people are just trying to get access to the new updates, which is totally fair. If there's no new updates, why stay subscribed ESPECIALLY in this day, age, and economy. (Can you tell I used to work in Non-Profit Fundraising?) All of that is to say, just know that in the months I've been quiet, I've been working. And also agonizing about being quiet.

One last thing, I am working on an original game. I think this month I might put out a preview to gage interest. It tends to sit on the backburner because I know folks are here for the mods. But just know that that's something that's also on the stove, so to speak.

I really hope you find a way to make the cuckold content workable. I really like the niche, and I feel like the Sims has a lot of potential for this specific fetish. There is so little cuckold content though. Best of luck!

Hmm I thought I fixed that! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll take a look. It’s definitely a bug.

Hi, recently subscribed in order to finally update the Chastity mod, was gutted when the patch broke it (among others!). Loving the update and looking forward to doing cage size progression! One niggle is that it's not just the chastity wearer that is getting buffs - my 2 other male sims in the household are getting negative buffs as if they are locked, namely the Embarrassed one (about having it on show). I've gone in and removed the moodlets and the traits (they also seem to get the wearer traits as well even though I didn't give it to them). Not sure if this is something wrong I've done or a bug, figured I'll post it here in case someone else is having the same bug!
