I've been very busy IRL recently. I took a very long road trip last week to adopt my new buddy whom I've named Jojo (photo below). Now we're getting ready to be hit by a blizzard! I'll probably be snowed in for quite a while which will give me plenty of time to work on new stuff for the Sims. Thank you all for sticking with me this year! I promise much new stuff in 2023 and beyond. :)
So, from Aayla, Jojo, and me, Happy Christmas and have a Merry New Year! :D

The past few months have been quite rough for me. I’m still not doing too well (there was a mix-up between my doctors and the pharmacy, so my medications were messed up for a while and that took quite the toll on me. Medications are correct once again, but it will take a couple weeks for me to readjust.) That said, I finally updated my game today and started to play again. That means I’ll be getting back to modding soon.
Most of my mods appear to work fine with the latest patches. T...

I'm trying to get the site updated again but it's very slow going as I am currently very sick with the flu. I have a ton of messages I need to respond to but haven't yet because I'm just feeling too horrible. Hopefully this will clear up soon and I can get back to work. Thank you for understanding.

It's been one bad thing after another but long story short, I've been and still am feeling horrible (physically, emotionally I'm still good) and both of my parents have needed more help lately than usual. I haven't had time or motivation for Sims lately but I'm hopeful that will change and I'll update the site sometime next week.
In the meantime, I've been working on my art projects to try to keep my mind off the bad stuff. If by chance you wanted to see my artworks, that website is her...

Sorry for messaging you all again so soon, but I have some exciting news for you! I finally finished my latest career mod and it's a doozy!

I probably should have waited until tomorrow to do this update, it’s a big one, but I finally decided to just go ahead and do this now. I finally, after a LOT of studying the tuning files and cross-referencing countless files, have figured out how to add custom wants and fears. I have updated a handful of my traits with the new wants and fears, but I plan to update more of the traits very soon. So, here’s what’s new and updated!

First off, here is the hot topic of the Sims community right now: EA's clarified and stricter EULA about mods and custom content. You can see the official notice here. Might want to have a looksie for yourself not just to understand what I'm doing but what every creator is doing right now which is either complying or getting into legal jeopardy.

As you may, or may not, have noticed, I updated all of the graphics for my Patreon to match my new site and logo. Pretty, huh? I'll be making other changes too starting next month. Here's a rundown:
I finally figured out how to release things "by tier" so from now on, only Tiers 2 - 4 will get early access and behind the scenes looks starting August 2022. This is done in fairness to those who donate more and deserve more exclusivity.
I haven't decided about polls, those will...

My website started acting up last night, so I tried upgrading it and now it's messed up (on the backend) even worse. You can still visit the new and improved site, but I am so far unable to add new posts to it. I'm still working with my host to figure that one out.
In regard to today's patch, my internet has also been out since early this morning. It only just now came back on, let's hope it stays on! I am right now trying

I'm sorry that I haven't been around for a while. My dad's health declined again and then so did mine. Luckily, he's starting to get stronger again so here's hoping he stays well for longer this time. (I was so worried he'd be back in the hospital for weeks again.) As for myself, I've been having trouble with chronic fatigue to the point that if I don't force myself to stay awake, I'll sleep all-day and all-night both. My doctors are trying to figure out what is going on so they can help me b...

None of my mods have any nasty tracking things or anything else of that sort.

I'm seriously considering setting up direct download links on Simularity so that you no longer have to visit another site for the final download link. My host says I have unlimited bandwidth so we can test it and find out if that's true. I'll still keep the download links buttons active for GoogleDrive and Dropbox as those are easy to maintain and people who have them like being able to move things to their own Dropboxes. SimFileShare is a different matter. It is a pain to keep updat...

For reasons unknown, my auto-poster from my website stopped working so it's no longer automatically posting to Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr when I make a new post on the Simularity website. I'm trying to fix it but so far, no luck. I'll try to keep everyone updated and post here more regularly too now that I'm starting to feel a little better. :)
Before I get to the mod update news, I'm going to be posting a poll here shortly about download link options on the Simularity website. I'd a...

Things have been horribly rough for me in real life. My dad, whom I've always been close to, has developed dementia which is worsening by the day and his body is deteriorating as fast as his short-term memory. My beloved little dog has become wracked with arthritis but thankfully that has so far been able to be helped with medication, although she will be 13 years old this July. As for little bipolar me, I've been in a depressive episode for a while. I'm now fighting like hell to get out of i...

I had to take a break to help with my Dad and do a LOT of work for my Mom which has me sore and completely exhausted (I've been having to clean out my parents' previous place of business completely by January 01 and I've still got more to do today as the clock counts down). Once my arms stop hurting, I'll get back to mod making and updating!

Why no new mods today? I installed Windows 11 on my workstation back on December 02 (which took ALLLL DAY) and gave myself quite the migraine. I still have said stubborn migraine and can't focus until it goes away. Hopefully I can get to work later today or tomorrow at the latest.

I would have paused it for August but I needed to pay the Simularity website bills that come due in August. Taking care of my dad and restarting being a professional digital artist is turning out to be a full-time job. I haven't had time for Sims and I feel really, really horrible about that. Maybe once things settle down by next month I'll be able to resume modding but I don't know for certain which is why I paused the Patreon for September. I'm sorry. :'(
