- Important MSG- A Vulnerable Moment From Me, Jaye - My Feelings - Addressing A Big Elephant.
Hey guys… it’s me, Jaye.
I just wanted to sit down and talk to y’all from a real place for a second. No cover art, no promo, no hype, just me in my little world, letting you in.
Lately, I’ve been on this quiet path of wondering… am I doing well as a creator?
Are you all still loving what I’m giving?
Are my ideas still hitting?
Are you still feeling me?
I know I can’t make every single person happy but God knows I try lol.
And sometimes, I get in my own head. Not burned out, not done, not defeated… just human. Just wondering if I’m overwhelming y’all, if I’m doing too much, or if maybe you’re tired of me.
So I want to ask you honestly:
Am I doing good?
Are you tired of me?
Do you feel overwhelmed?
Should I slow down?
This is your time to talk to me. I’m listening. I value every single voice in this family. I’m not asking for validation, I’m asking for connection.
I love you guys so much.
If you’ve been rocking with me, thank you.
If one day you decide to part ways, thank you for being a part of my journey at all.
I just want to be real with y’all and let you into my small world for a second.
And listen… I know this whole EA/Sims buyout wave and all the shifts happening in the gaming world has made everything feel new, weird, or uncertain. But I want you to know something:
I’m here for you. Beyond Sims. Beyond modding. Beyond gaming.
If you rock with me, I want you to rock with me for life.
Not just because of what I create, but because of the heart behind it.
Thank you for being my family.
Thank you for letting me create, grow, experiment, and sometimes fall on my face in front of y’all.
And thank you for reading this.
I’m here.
I’m listening.

I’m only seeing this post now, but I’d really like to say something: I’ve been playing TS4 since its release, and I only discovered your mods in 2025 — and you are the only creator I recommend to absolutely anyone. The depth you put into your work is truly incredible. I’m completely obsessed with your mods and I use them in my game even when I can’t find a translation into my own language. So I don’t know how you’re doing right now, but I truly hope you continue this fabulous work, because the sense of personality we find in your mods is something you’d only see in the work of someone who pours their soul into what they do. Truly, congratulations.
I love your mods, i'm really enjoying the city dedication traits/mods and I appreciate the tribute you did to Muva Simmer!!! I love what you do and what your mods bring to the game! That being said, always take care of you first, take breaks when you need to and I will always be waiting for when you are back!!!
I just got here ngl. But you me had locked tf in at a Tribute to Muvasimmer, love her down. I am currently downloading from your master list, thank you very much for the ease of access. I am very excited to play with more Urban content as I sadly haven't been able to since I had to remove Muva's mods from my game a while back. I enjoy the way you speak to your supporters, it feels very warm and very authentic. You seem real and unapologetically you, and that translates well into the kind of content you make, IMO. The vibes fr seem good here and I am always down to find more black content creators of ANY kind. If you ever feel overwhelmed or just stretched too thin, please communicate with us as you have been. Know that EOD, we know you're a person on the other side of our screens and we are here for you too! Imposter syndrome can kick rocks fr. May you maintain your joy of creating and maintain your peace <3.
Subscribed. Only peeked at the Master list of 50 mods and dl a couple, but have re-blogged likes and recommendations to my tumblr: purpleraynecollection@tumblr.com because I just had to share them. Thumbs up for selection and innovation; totally cancels out boredom!
Honestly, you've become my favorite creator. You're very consistent and you really try to connect with your supporters, and I think that's so cool. As humans we can sometimes over think but just know that you always have my support. Thank you for all that you do because I know life be lifing sometimes but you still show up no matter what.
Just found you on Scarlet's Realm while updating my mods. Looking forward to trial seeing in-game for Let The Adults Play; but your mods and sincerity caught my attention. Also just subscribed on YouTube. Your voice is unique, please don't give up expressing your creative efforts promoting diversity gaming.
i absolutely love the diversity creativity and hustle you display and you really sparked a new love with one of my favorite hobbies,, keep going!! and don't forget to have fun too <3
Lisa Lee said it best!!! YOU'RE STUCK WITH US! We ain't LEAVIN!!! You're doing an AMAZIN JOB!!! If you wanna keep going-we got YOU! If you wanna take a break-we got YOU!!!😜💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝😜
Your stuck with us like gorilla glue 🤷🏾♀️
I think I started following you a few days ago, when I came across one of your mods while I was updating the ones I already had. I liked it so much and started checking as much as I could. I easily downloaded a lot of your mods that day and I'm definitely staying here, I love your takes, what you create, how I have been able to know a bit more about you as a person through them and it's definitely so inspiring to me. I may not be able to support financially, I am maybe very shy/anxious to show up in comments and talk, but I'm here supporting the way that is within my reach. These moments of self doubt come sometimes but always remember you're doing an amazing job and I know a lot of people agree with that. And also remember to take care of yourself, sometimes is needed and we will be here patiently waiting for you. Thank you, truly, for the work you do and for all the things I have been able to learn through your mods <3
I think you do an amazing job. And i hope the love thats showed towards you makes you see you do great. I do believe you can slow down. People share your mods point them out and tell each other they're great. So it's okay to take a step back now and then to relax and put yourself first.
I think we all doubt ourselves at times, especially when things are going really well. You are amazing and your mods are a reflection of that. Keep on keeping on, knowing that you are loved by this community, no matter what. You've given us all so much realism and diversity in our pixelated escape from reality, so don't hesitate to give yourself time to slow down when needed. We'll just patiently wait for the next drop. 🫶
I took a year off from Sims and just started back this week. found you guys and immediately became a paid Patreon. I love everything and so glad we have black creators like you all pumping out content. everyday i log in its something new from this page and thats why i paid. i will support yall no matter what
After many years away from Sims 4, I picked it up again last winter and am enjoying playing when I have time. Of course I immediately started looking for custom content (I still have a Sims 2 game on an old computer that took half an hour to load because of CC). I was blown away by how far creators have been able to go with Sims 4, giving it so many dimensions that I never would have imagined. Jaye, I discovered your creations fairly recently, but they're among some of the most stunning I have seen in terms of your creativity, inclusivity, wide range, and storytelling possibilities. I have so little time to play that I haven't yet experimented with them as I would like to and plan to. You offer so many choices, both funny and serious, that I might never get to experience them all, but I would never tell you to slow down. I am eager to see what you come up with next because you are always surprising me and making me think--and making me feel, because your creations obviously come from your heart, and it's a big one and a generous one, and I, a stranger and a newbie to your world, have been touched by it. Thank you!!! (Edited to add: If you want to take a break, I don't think anyone would begrudge it and they shouldn't. Don't feel obligated. Just know that however much you choose to share with us on whatever time frame, it's a blessing.)
Where's the all of the above option?
Your mods are giving life to my game!
Please never stop being you, we love you :)
I could never get tried of the wonderful mods you've created, the creative mindset you have so just awesome!! fam... Since a joined your pateron my game play has reached an all time high of surprise,drama, fun,endless ideas, and let's not me mention game play I never knew I'd enjoy until you.. My sims be ride of they life everytime I click play lol...never a dull moment fam.. Never stop being you Jay never!!! I would miss you my sims would miss you!!!
Sometimes new people come in and it can make you feel like you’re not doing enough because you want the new supporters, however, every creator has their limits of where they will not go. You’re the only creator I know that interacts with their people and I love that about you. That’s why I’m here and that’s why I’ll stay until the end of days. It has been times where I would go months without playing my game or even interacting with the community. But ever since I’ve found you even if I don’t play I find myself checking in on the chats and lives just to vibe. You ARE enough Jay and you ARE doing enough. Love you boop 🧡
I wish there was an option to choose all three. 💞 I love your mods!! I get excited when I see your emails because I can’t wait to see what you cooked up again. You’re so imaginative, and you make my game so much more immersive and enjoyable!! Love you, Jay!! Keep up the amazing work!!! 🤗💖 P.S All artists create with one thing in mind: their audience, their fans and their followers - this is totally normal. 😉 With love, Your little tarot reading witchy friend. ✨🔮💫
I love this. I touched on this as well. If they really are fans they know what to expect from that specific creator.
Love you and your mods!
Your trait mods are unique, some of them are so heart-felt and compassionate. Xx
You are amazing and we love you!!! For a lot of us Sims is our only release from the world around us. Your mods hit home for a lot of people on a lot of levels and although I can't relate personally to all of them there are people that are out there that can. Living in the DFW I sometimes have to put a pause on the outside world and its madness and Sims is how I do that. Your mods, the time you put in to create them for us, and you yourself are appreciated. Don't ever stop being creative. I'm a forever fan.
You are doing incredible things for this community, Jaye! I love your content and how much you give us, but if you ever feel burned out, please take a break or slow down. We love your mods, but we want you to put yourself first! Love you, Jaye. Please know that what you do is truly making a difference for so many of us.🩵💙🤍
You are beyond amazing! You be you! Don't ever change! I love everything you've been putting out and I don't plan on going anywhere.
I just found you & I love ur workkk literally, just found your aba career mod which is perfect as im trying to be a ABCA & im doing my courses to be a RBT.
I will never ever ever ever ever ever get tired of you. And the amazing work you do for us simmers. You make my game what it is . Although I haven’t been online in a few months I will continue to keep paying my subscription because I’m never leaving . My laptop has been down . And I don’t have a desktop. So when I come back .. just know I’m getting more memory lol . Because you are a voice for us . So no we are not tired of you , no you not doing too much . And HELL NAH YOU BETTER NOT SLOW DOWN! keep being you! Keep being authentic and keep being the boss ass b** we know you can be! We love you boo! Never forget it! #TeamJaye
From how I see it personally, you’re doing amazing like SERIOUSLY. Your consistency is literally perfect, you talk and engage with us and you actually listen to us and things we may want. The one thing I can say is that I wish there were more positive interactions. Like an urban social mod with more positive buffs. But other than that, your mods make my game entertaining and brings a more realistic viewpoint to it so yea, keep your head up and remember you’re actually doing more then anyone would expect and it’s HEAVILY appreciated ❤️
i wait and salivate at everything you drop, your content is so real, im addicted to your content, i would be hurt if you stopped ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel you. We all get in our heads sometimes. You are doing a great job. Getting to interact with you is great. What you create has made the sims worth playing again for me. I appreciate your creativity and I look forward to the drops. Always do whats best for you. . I rock with you.
We love you jaye , and we'll always be here. Keep on pushing forward!
Hey! Im new here, but I can say im here to stay <3
I totally understand getting in your own head but honestly you are doing amazing. Your mods are incredible and you are literally the staples in my game and so many others. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is doing it like you. You listen to your community and you provide top tier quality mods. I don’t typically sub to people but I just had to with you because you deserve every bit of success. All your mods have so much heart and soul into it and that’s what truly makes them the greatest and not to mention you are an incredible human being. Slow down only if YOU feel like you are overwhelmed, we are here for as long as you will be, for life. You’ve done amazing things for the sims community and put so much depth. I download every single one of your mods and I’m sure 99.9% of mod users do too. You are so beloved. Keep rocking on!
You are amazing and so are your mods. We see that you create them for us with love. Keep going because we really appreciate you.
You are amazing Jaye I've been down with you since I've found out about you, you are truly an amazing person and modder
I found your mods probably a month or so ago and they have brought so much life to my game!! Please continue to keep going! I saw a lot of upcoming mods that I can’t wait for you to release you do such a good job and are probably the most consistent modded I’m aware of! Please keep going💓
We are locked in for life...you are doing amazing...I am so grateful for you. It gets tough sometimes but I learned you have to give yourself grace...People will follow you anywhere because you are an amazing person, content creator and pure hearted. Please don't forget that..🥰🫶🏾
You are AMAZING Jaye!
You are the best ! I love what you do and i have shared with my family and friends what you have brought to the game … so much inspiration and hope that our representation matters!
I love what you do! I have only recently started using mods and yours are the reason. I have played Sims since the first one. Never used mods. I was worried it would break my game and I am not super tech savvy. I would watch "what mods you should have" type vids on YouTube and someone mentioned your mods and I loved the story telling it added. So pls keep going! I love it and your personal touch with these messages. I am so glad I found you!
We love you and your creations! You’re the first creator that I feel like actually interacts with their followers and listens to what we really want in the game. Keep being you and doing your best! 🫶🏾
Take you time when needed, but I can likely speak for everyone when I say: we adore you! Yes your work still hits. Yes we love getting a million notifications from you a day (it's gives people like me something to look forward to). I really do enjoy everything that you're doing, and enjoy the little talks in chat. You create a great environment for us! I will be here for you whenever you need as well, if you ever need a venting ear. We're all really happy to have you at whatever capacity YOU choose. ♡♡♡♡
You’re doing amazing. I be downloading your stuff even though my game is lagging like crazy lol
We LOVE you Jay 🫶🏾🫶🏾 you are cool down to earth and a wonderful TALENTED creator and don’t left anyone tell you anything different… You listen to our ideas make it happen you get us involved you engage with us. We are your Family for LIFE we rocking with you no matter what keep doing the marvelous creating we got your back . We are not tired of you and will never be tired of you your don’t overwhelm us. It’s all family love over here 🥰🥰
You are amazing! You got this friend, take a depe breath, relax, and keep your head up. We support you and have your back. -LeatherBelle
Keep doing what you do, but at the same time, take time out for yourself to breathe. You don't have to put out mods every day, even though we love all of your mods. We just don't want you to burn out or anything like that. I'll rock with you until the wheels fall off.
Youve made my game better n ways i cant imagine ! Grieving my brother death from last year you have played a BIG part and may God continue to bless you
You’re doing amazing.
You are my absolute favorite modder!! I have gone through and downloaded every single thing you’ve made because I love it all so much and all the different elements it brings to my game. I look forward to seeing a post from you daily just so I can download it before I start my game. Keep doing what you’re doing! We love you SO much!
I love your content, keep it up.🖤
You definitely aren't bothering me -- your output is super impressive even when it comes to content I don't incorporate into my own game. If anything, I worry about *you* hitting burnout because of how much you make, but if you're feeling the inspiration then let it all fly!!
Idea Maybe do a small class to help those who want to learn how to mod . Maybe you can have a small modding crew
I've only recently found you& omg I love your content! I have notifications on for anytime you post! im thankful for creators like you who take the time to make these cool additions for the sims, who take so much time & energy to help others have fun! your content actually had gotten me back into playing! thank you for all you do & I sooo hope to see more content from you!
i definitely still love your mods, but sadly with the EA buyout and Anadius quitting i feel like a lot of people have also quit the sims; but if you still have passion for the mods you make you shouldn’t quit just because of less traction because there’s still tons of people who still use them :)
This wasn’t due to less traction. If anything my numbers are through the roof! This is about honesty.
This was tough to write, can’t lie.
Thanks for being vulnerable with us. 🤎With creators retiring left and right, I hope we are not taking too much out of you because I would love to continue hearing from you and witnessing your creations. Im always happy to see you posting even if it’s just sharing whats going on with you/how you feeling, like today. Sharing your feelings with anyone, let alone the world/internet is not easy, but I appreciate you for including us in your family, sharing with us, creating for us, just talking to us period. 🫶🏽
I love your content! It helps SOO much with my stories/ gameplay in general so keep doing you!! 😌❤️
