Hey! The release of the new game patch didn't come with any need for compatibility fixes, but here are some other fixes to spice things up instead.
Hey and hello! I have a very exciting update for you today, something I was planning for a long time. The Strip Clubs business is finally shaping up to something stable and playable, which made me confident that it's time to take a step forward. It hasn't been easy, and it took me almost 5 minutes to make, but thereby I present to you... Janitors!
Hey you, I hope you're protecting yourself and staying home as much as you can in these crazy and difficult times for our entire world. I bet it's not easy, but it's for the better of us all, and I wish you the best 💜
As for this post, it's not a proper update, but instead a major change for the implementation of Strip Clubs. The recent introduction of the custom Strip Club venue type came with an issue of it becoming stuck after selling the business. Once the stuck venue was in plac...
2020-03-27 17:50:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey and hello, the beginning of the year proved to be a little difficult to manage, but I got you the best I have. I wanted to focus on improving and expanding more core features of WickedWhims, which didn't happen so that's going to be the focus of the next release, and this time I present you something new. It was problematic to get this out on time, and the beginning of March is going to be somewhat busy for me, but I will try to assist you as much as I can.

Hey! If you missed it, I've been sick for the majority of January, so this month is free for anybody who stayed. Which means, this is not a proper update, as I wasn't able to work when sick, but a major transition for anybody who uses the Strip Clubs feature.
Strip Clubs had a rough start, as implementing a new business type came with a lot of unexpected challenges. One of the problems was introducing proper venue support, hence Strip Clubs were using the Nightclub venue type...
2020-02-05 11:54:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey! This is a quick update on my current situation - what has been happening in January, what will be happening in February, and a new platform I'm slowly pushing.
The start of the year sure has been exciting for me, I got sick twice in two different ways and I'm still currently sick. The majority of the month has been spent in agony which resulted in very little progress towards development. The next planned project begun in Decemb...

🔔 It's Patch Day! You know what that means, all of your mods break and cause errors, so remember to throw them all out of the window and wait for them to be updated. You can be sure that any UI mods will cause visual glitches and any override mods will cause errors. Look out for updates from your favorite creators.

2019-11-12 22:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a cleanup update. At one point or another, all of the accumulated content has to be reevaluated, cleaned up, fixed up, and improved. Each and every new thing I get to work on contributes something to the set of tools that I've been building for WickedWhims. With time, old tools are retired and replaced with more efficient, stable, and versatile tools. This is especially true when working on uncharted territories, progressive development is needed to not get stuck repeating the same mi...
2019-11-07 17:07:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey💀 The Strip Club project scope was so huge that I feel like I died trying to make it on time. How spooky. And even though this is the release of it, there is still so much that has to be done before I consider it finished. This saddens me greatly, as I wanted to make it as feature-filled as possible before release, but I'm still interested in your feedback on what is available so far.
The initial month of development was spent on researching, planning, and developing the base busi...

Hey! From the start, this is not a release post, but a progress update post. Unfortunately, I have to inform you that finishing the feature explained below will take longer than usual. It's fairly large, and complex enough that I can't get it done in a short time. I hope you understand and take this opportunity to tell me what you think as well as suggest new ideas that I could introduce during the rest of the development.
This September we will r... 2019-08-30 10:02:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey! This is the first proper update I was able to work on after coming back, and with the limited time I had, I wasn't able to add anything major... but I tried to address most of the recent issues you all brought up. Additionally, I worked with autobanned on introducing tongues to WickedWhims by default, to make things a little easier and allow for more future customization.
I did work on some new underwater content that would g...
2019-08-03 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey! This is a quick update on my current situation, what the Streamer Mode is for, and follow up on the Patreon "investigation" into WickedWhims.
I'm almost back to developing WickedWhims like usual. I will be back home in 4 days. My time away got unexpectedly extended by 8 days, so I don't have as much time to prepare something proper for August, but I will try. I will make sure to focus on all the issues you're encountering recently and a new body part ...
2019-07-12 17:59:03 +0000 UTC View PostOof, it's only getting hotter and hotter in here... makes you sweat like crazy. And speaking of crazy, look at the new feature, it's all about sweating. Besides that, Sims sex autonomy got a little bit more memorable, and I have something for the influencer types.
Soon enough, on June 21st, the Island Living expansion comes out, with a tropical island, tanning, boats, lifeguards, volcanoes, beaches, ocean swimming, and killer mermaids. Can't wait for the game patch.

The new attractiveness system is something that I was talking about for probably half a year at this point, and it's finally here. Although not complete with all its planned features, the base implementation is ready.
Internally I've started restructuring how production planning occurs for each tiny new thing. A big problem is...

This one is pretty major for mods, as the change in loading of text resources has changed, making a lot of mods stop displaying custom text. The fix is very simple, but if a creator is not active, it won't be fixed.
You will most likely notice that animation names are showing up as blank. I've informed most of the active animators on how to fix it. This will either be reverted in the game or Sims4Studio will introduce a...

Fixed inviting Peeping Sims failing when autonomy is disabled
Hey! While taking my late-Christmas-break at the beginning of February, progress slowed down, and although I was still tinkering with things, I wasn't able to make anything substantial. This means I'm not able to put out anything reasonably playable at the beginning of March (if not delayed until the beginning of April).
Most of the time was spent on prototyping technical features, which are no...
2019-03-03 15:25:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey! I'm on a break right now for a few days, but I still had to put out the progress done towards relationships. This is a huge step forward to introducing depth of relationships between Sims. And this is just the first part of the relationships enhancements. Future releases (but not the next one) will implement a reputation system and an attractiveness system, with some extra optional modifications to make social encounters more meaningful.
These changes are mostly made to introduce a...
2019-02-05 18:31:06 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year! Or at least I hope so. December as always was a hectic month of holidays and events, but that didn't stop me from having some fun figuring out new stuff.
One of the biggest reoccurring issues is the awful stability of save data, resetting Body Selector is definitely pretty annoying, so an overhaul of the save system was required. I took a completely different approach than ever before and tried to incorporate as much information into the game save structure, rather than ...
2019-01-02 13:13:27 +0000 UTC View PostThis release mainly touches on some of the commonly requested improvements and changes to sex autonomy and nudity features.
Maxis has announced a free holiday pack coming to Sims 4 this month which will be released with a patch. I don't think the patch will change anything critical so you should not worry about mods breaking too much.
I'm trying to be more proactive with bug reports for the game itself since I spend most of the time digging through the game code, and help Maxis fi...
2018-12-06 11:36:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe new Game Patch with Terrain Manipulation and First Person Perspective Camera is here! And this WickedWhims update makes it work with it.
The game engine has been updated to use Python 3.7 which means that most Script Mods require updating, and after that update, it's likely they will not work with any older version of the game. If you want to use WickedWhims with an older version of the game, use this. 2018-11-13 23:35:47 +0000 UTC View Post
Déjà vu?
It might seem like this update was already released, and that is true, but this time it's not with the new body system based on tattoos and ghosters. That ended up being a huge hassle to get working, with never-ending attempts to fix it. Sometimes it's better to sacrifice 2 months of work than keep digging yourself into a hole.
But I didn't just bring back the old system. I reworked the new one to work like the old one and implemented a new Body Selector that w...
2018-11-13 10:54:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis release was quite a challenge to finish till the last day, I'm sorry you had to wait so long. The decision to implement a new way of handing bodies was a huge risk. Not only you need to get everything updated on the mod side, but you need everybody's else mods updated too. I've contacted every creator that makes body mods compatible with WickedWhims to make sure they are all ready. This is a step forward to allow more detail and flexibility for modders, as well as open up more options fo...

Talking about fertility has a chance of revealing information like: is this Sim on period, is the Sim approaching the ovulation day, or is the Sim nowhere close to their fertile days.
If you're planning on impregnating some NPC Sims, talking about fertility will allow you to plan the actions for the best results.<...

Game patch 1.45.62 released on July 31st is safe to use with the current version of WickedWhims!
Warning! On July 31st a GAME PATCH will be released! If you want to avoid issues, disable auto-updates in Origin. In any other case, be aware that mods may very well break and require updating or simply removing.
Taking a week off definitely doesn't help with finishing things, but it makes an incredible difference with how you ...

2018-06-19 21:52:22 +0000 UTC View PostAdding support for clubs turned out to be quite a challenge and quite a disappointment. There's a lot that I wanted to implement around clubs but unfortunately, the possibilities are limited and I don't want to introduce new hard overrides to the game. What has been done in this update is the best that can be done and where there are more possibilities for new club activities, club perks and other club functions are unreachable.
With the introduction of clubs support, especially th...
2018-06-05 14:54:08 +0000 UTC View PostTrying to experiment with smaller and more focused updates to introduce more new content is quite a challenge. It's not even creating that new content, it's planning what has to be done and fitting it into a reasonably short production window. Things get especially difficult when you encounter problems or you realize that what was planned is not enough, or at least you think it's not enough.
Still, I like the idea of making more focused updates that can introduce something to have fun w...
