September Break

I've been creating content here monthly for over 2 years now, so it really tough to have to inform you all that I will not be releasing any new content in the month of September. Of course I understand if you wish to cancel your pledge & I thank you for all of your support to date.

As many you will know I took a 2 week holiday last month to recharge. In order to fit in this time off I went from creating the Baysic set straight into creating Shop The Look 2, so the holiday was a real necessity. Everything was going great and the time away way really relaxing until that new EA help article was found and the community went kind off! It was such a high stress period of time and all that relaxation and recharging felt like it never happened. So right now, I'm just burnt out. I already started creating content this month, but I really don't want to release something that I can't put my full love and attention into. I really am looking forward to creating this next set as its a subject very close to my heart and something that I have wanted to do for a long time...

The Kwate Collection is a set inspired by Africa. I have held off creating this set before as I really want to do it justice and my skill level wasn't quite where I wanted it to be, but I'm finally ready to go all out and create something special. This set will be released in October and last for 3 months minimum, with the focus on exterior, kitchen & living areas.

I look forward to sharing the making process with you next month during September.

Glad you are putting your well being first. The community reaction was... a lot. Hope you know its by far not all of us. ]Lots of us are sensible, reasoning people, and have nothing but respect for our beloved modders. Just want to ask about the bedding updates since I'm just now getting to it. I just re-downloaded all your packs that had beds in them- so that will do the trick right? I mean you fixed the packs on your download posts correct? Be well.
