I am taking a break from the sims & the community

Hey guys, I have been sat thinking about making this post for a few days now not knowing whether to tell anyone that I will be coming away from the sims for a while or to just do it. I obviously decided to let you guys know

A month and a half ago I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid which is a very serious health condition as it controls our heart rate, metabolism, along with a bunch of other things. The side effects from having this condition are honestly awful. I have had numerous hospital, doctors and emergency services visits as I am very poorly at the moment. I have also lost almost two stone in weight in this time frame, I am currently hoping the medication I have started will kick in very soon

Because I have Tachycardia as one of the many symptoms ( a fast heart rate ) I tend to try and spend most of my time laid down on the sofa as even walking around my home can make me feel like I am literally running a marathon & mix that in with asthma means I just don't feel great to move around. I haven't been on my computer in two weeks now and I don't intend on doing so anytime soon

I just wanted to explain why I will not be replying to comments anymore and things like that since I appreciate all of your support, I didn't just want to vanish on you

I will be coming back at some point when I am feeling more like myself however I don't have a time frame

I do have a few weeks of scheduled content left that will still be released, I just won't be replying to comments and will not be available to help with troubleshooting etc as I will not be signing in on my phone either since I just want to focus on my health at the moment

I am very lucky to have such an amazing and supportive partner who has had to start doing everything around the house as well as looking after me, our daughter and three dogs

I really do hope I start to feel better soon

Anyway

Lots of love vix xox

Your health is most important. Live with the love of your family and get better for yourself and them. If you play your game, do it for the fun of it. Playing helped me get through a major cancer diagnosis, surgeries and those dang chemo cocktails. You got this. May YHWH fill you with HIS perfect peace and strength. My prayers are with you. Ciao.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!! I've had Hyperthyroidism on and off throughout the years and it can impact you more than you anticipate. Take the time to enjoy the things you like, outside of the sims. The meds and recovery will take time but they'll work for sure. Keep your head up and I hope you come back feeling stronger than ever!

Sandro Ciani · July 22, 2025

My heart goes out to you 💛 I’ve also silently been struggling with health stuff and I know how much it can weigh you down mentally and physically. The lack of a timeframe for healing and having to wait for medication to do its thing can feel so hopeless. I’m sending all my love and healing energy. Please know there’s no rush. I hope you don’t feel any guilt and we will be so excited for your return because it means you’re feeling better and that’s all that matters. You’re so talented.
