Reintroduction
Hello everyone,
A lot of new people have joined my Patreon recently, so I feel like I should tell you something about myself and my modding journey, but I'll try not too long ;)
So first of all, I’ve been a Simmer since The Sims 1 came out, when I was still in elementary school. But I entered the modding world in 2016, when I discovered that we can actually make gameplay mods, not only Build/Buy and CAS objects. In fact, my modding anniversary is approaching :D
But apart from that, I am a 37-year-old with a full-time job, a mom of a 4-year-old (almost 5!) little man who takes about 80% of my focus when I'm not at work :D, a volunteer in fundraising for kids with rare diseases that are not refundable, and simply a human being who has some hobbies outside of the Simming world. Recently, I’ve also started to suspect that I might have ADHD, because there are so many signs! But I would need a proper diagnosis ;)
All of that means I have very limited time for modding, but I don’t want to give up or hand my mods over to someone else. I love creating mods. I love when you write to me that my mods make your gameplay better, that you can finally do something in The Sims that you couldn’t before, that you can write better stories thanks to them. This is so rewarding! I don’t want to lose that. My mods are a bit like my “babies,” my small legacy that I’m adding to this game :)
So while I know I kind of suck at replying regularly to comments, and that (apart from patch updates) I often go radio silent here (for which I truly apologize), I just don’t want to quit. Because I love this part of my life. And even if I’m quiet sometimes, I’m still working on my mods whenever I can.
So I want to thank everyone who supports me on this journey, everyone who believes in me and cheers me on here. For all your patience and understanding. I want you to know that with each positive comment you leave here, you make one person in this world very happy.

hi, just wanted to let you know that as of today my game is crashing whenever I try to add your mods.
Hi, thank you for the information, but I can't investigate it without any more details. Please know I am using all of my mods in the game and I play on the newest patch and didn't have any issues since. So since I can't replicate the issue, I would need you to send me some error report, Last Exception generated in your game or from Better exceptions, anything that I could check for the reason.
Please, I am actually really glad to hear this is something you do as your hobby and it should stay that way - a hobby. Nobody has a hobby that drains them out. Thank you for the reintroduction! Your little man definitely deserve that 80% of your time - the fact you still can keep modding for The Sims on top of all of that?? Simply amazing. Keep having fun and enjoying this part of your life, take care! :D
Thank you!!! :) That means a lot!
Awh your dimples!!
:] thank you ;)
This is so sweet. No need to apologize. Creating mods should be a pleasurable hobbie. It shouldn't feel like a full time job. I've used your mods for years now. Thank you so much for them.
Thank you too! :)
Is there anyway I can reach out to you? I have a few questions about your mods!
Hey, you can send me a mail ilkavelle@gmail.com

Please do this at YOUR speed and how it fits into YOUR life. Your mods make my gameplay so much better - I appreciate all of the work you put in to make them possible (with a child???? you're superhuman). Take as long as you need when updates arise, suck at replying if you need to, take longer to come out with something new, anything - I'm just happy you share your creations with us & I'll be a forever supporter. :) Happy almost birthday to your little bb!
