Birds and the Bees - vTesting_2.0.0

more thorough description coming soon.

Important notes

⁃ I need to localize all the debug menu interactions

⁃ Debug settings do not save and rest to defaults

⁃ For example, if you set the pregnancy hours above or below 72 hours and exit and save the game, when you start your save, immediately pause it and reset the setting back to values you had previously. Failing to do so will cause pregnant sims to not give birth. To fix, either set the pregnancy hours longer ...

April 2023 Update

Hey there,

I took a month's break in March. It is why I paused payment during March. During that time, I took time away from the internet, finished a school quarter, and revisited old interests, namely reading books.

One of the main things that bothered me after release was the lack of planning that went into the feature work. I would get an idea for a feature and go straight to implementing it in the code. Maybe I would have a brief description of the feature or a list of what th...

January Updates

Happy New Year,

I have a few updates.

I created a new website. It is also linked my Patreon Bio.

What is this website?

This is where I will post my public mods and blogs about development and releases, much like here but less frequently updated and less descriptive. 

What this website isn't.

I will not post any in-progress or early versions of mods on this website, and immediate sup...

Quick Update

I have updated Birds and the Bees to fix bugs that were brought to my attention by testers. These bugs included:

• Pregnancy Tests would not work on lots with only a All in One Bathroom
• The Scrotum, Uterus, and Reproductive Sentiment classes would drop from Sims while traveling between worlds
• When a pregnancy ends, the Cleanup function would delete the normal Baby moodlets (e.g., ”It’s a Boy”)

The items I have left to finish for release are the st...

What features would you like to see next?

hello there.

I’m currently finishing up some maintenance and bug fixes on the reproductive mod and coming up with a name for it. I want to get it ready for an initial release in late September.

With this post, I wanted your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for new features or perhaps expansions of old features. I’ll try to see if I can create them and add them for future releases.

I also wanted to fill you in on mod ideas I have at different stages of development, notabl...

0.0.10 Alpha Release of Reproductive Health Mod

One of things I pledged to  do with this Patreon is release early versions of the mods I am working on here. These builds are mostly stable versions with bugs and experimental features. I do not feel comfortable releasing unfinished versions of mods, especially builds that could potentially cause major issues in player save games. 

In fact, I've been meaning to go take down 0.0.8 from MTS since it had a permanent issue with leaving dangling alarms in saved games. This issue do...
