Board Notes - August 2018

Happy Saturday!

Here is this month's summary of SimRealist's inner workings. 

• Mod Fund: Good news is we are still moving up in regards to Private Practice funding (I've updated our Mod Fund page on our website to reflect this small change). However, it wasn't super high. Due to this, I'm looking into getting outside sponsorship for SNB from financial institutions th...

Private Practice Update and SNB Status

Happy Friday Eve!

Just giving you a heads up that we are sending out a Patron-Only update to Private Practice 0.6 tomorrow. Please see the change-log below of what is included. It is basically a bug squashing update but requires testing before the Public is given access to it. Being as this is NOT technically a feature update, both Visionaries and Beta-Testers will receive this version which involves a charge post to do so (Public Release: 9/21/18). This might...

Private Practice 0.6: And I thought being a Student was hard!!! (Blog Post)

Today I've posted a quick summary (blog post) of what happened with my Sim as she made her way through her Medical Residency. I also posted a few tips of what I learned while playing her (you can put down on paper what you think should happen in-game but to actually experience it is very different). 

Please read the bolded part (if you're totall...

Private Practice 0.6.4

Private Practice just got a very minor update to include two new translated strings.

General Poll: Would you like...

Hello Everyone!

Yes, everyone ;-) This poll is for everyone that would be willing to give their opinion on the matter. This doesn't necessarily relate to just SimRealist but mods in general.

Would you be interested in a program/tool that allows you to auto-download or queue mod updates from various creators into one download? That would mean that you wouldn't have to go to multiple websites to get updated mods, it would actually be in one central location and then it wou...

Patch 8/16/18: PC 1.46.18.1020/ Mac 1.46.18.1220

Private Practice is safe to use with this patch. Please, please, please do still list out any errors that you receive from this mod on our Discord Server - Private Practice channel. I'm noting anything that looks to be a common occurrence that we may need to look at before we release SNB. 

I may not be able to resolve your tech issues but it is good to know of anything that the mod might be doing that it shouldn't. 

So far, what has been reported:

Getting through the Student Years (Blog Post)

Hello everyone!

I've posted a Tidbit Post on some things your Sim can do to get through their Student Years before their actual Residency with the Private Practice 0.6 version. Let me know in the comments below if there is anything else you need me to go over as well: https://www.simrealist.com/blog/private-practice-0-6-study-hard-work-harder

SNBank Feature Line-Up - Part 3

And here we go...another poll :-)

With this one, I want to see how many are interested in having a sort of Budget system with their accounts or a way to categorize spending and/or saving in a way to track and plan your Sim's current and future finances. Basically what I do currently LOL. If there's a general interest toward having this feature, we will work to incorporate it in future updates but I will in no ways guarantee that it will happen; just to be considered and planned for.

SNBank Feature Line-Up - Part 2

Hello Again :-)

This next poll is to see which type of accounts that you would like to see first in SNB or get a priority list going for it. 

Of course, checking accounts will be in our first version but wanted to see what you would like thereafter. 

• Savings Accounts: accounts with interest. Making your money work for you, even if only to bring in a tiny amount ;-)
• Credit Cards: unsecured, revolving line of credit accounts that allows your Sim to charge for...

Private Practice - 0.6 (Alpha)

And we're live with version 0.6 Alpha. You will be charged when it is confirmed by YOU that this is ready for Beta Phase. If we don't hear about any errors from you by next Friday, you will be charged Saturday, July 14th. 

This is also a test run of how we would release mods in the future. I will be monitoring these releases to see if this workable. If not, I will switch to just having a Beta version.

Private Practice - 0.6

Hello everyone!

Just did a quick test of Private Practice 0.6 and we are good to go for our Alpha phase of this version. You will notice that the Nursing career isn't present. The Resident career took up a lot more time than expected and we had to push this back to the next update. However, I believe you will like what roBurky has done with this update.

Here is the Developer's Change Log for this version:

SNBank Feature Line-Up

So.....below are the first round of features that we would like to include in the base portion of SNBank. Please pick the top three features that you like the most ;-) I will use your choices to help me prioritize what is queued up next. 

What you vote on in this poll will apply to the next versions of SNB. We currently have a set list of what we need to tackle for the first version.

• Transaction Designation: the ability to choose which account...

Board Notes - June 2018

Happy Saturday!

Here is this month's summary of what's going on behind the scenes (what we are working on and what we plan on doing). As always, I am completely open to suggestions on what we can do to make SimRealist better! And I also take in what we are doing right ;-) 

• Mod Fund: As you know, we've made a change according to a patron poll to a Per Creation/Mod charge instead of a monthly charge. This will allow those months in which no content can be produc...

Per Creation Poll - Results!!

Hello everyone!

I want to thank all who voted or sent in their input separately for the Per Creation poll. All suggestions are welcome being as this is a community-based project. 

As a result of this poll, all new feature updates, mod updates or new mod posts will be set to charge whichever tier you are on. You can limit how many you want to be charged for by editing your pledge (I would do this soon since I plan on sending out the Private Practice 0.6 next week to the Visionaries t...

June 26, 2018 - PC 1.44.83.1020 / Mac 1.44.83.1220

Check out the status of Private Practice in relation to the latest patch released today: https://www.simrealist.com/blog/patch-pc-1-44-83-1020-mac-1-44-83-1220

Per Creation

One of our Directors suggested that it might be beneficial for all to charge per creation. So, instead of just switching to this without notifying everyone, I decided to put a poll on it to see if current patrons would be OK with this change. If this should become too much when we have a lot more mods in circulation, I will switch back to what we have currently after another vote. 

I should note that by making this change, I will need set a max li...
