Patch 27th of Feb (1.105.297)
!!! Aaannd, I just read an update according to which this patch is adding something to files to check which packs you use. And if you don't have a certain pack, some of my mods might give you errors or not working properly. I am sorry, I didn't discover it earlier because I have all the packs now so I won't have these issues. This all means, I will have to recheck all my mods again and for now if you don't own all pack, please consider all my mods broken :(
Hello everyone,
First of all - all my mods should be compatible with the newest patch from yesterday. Within last weeks I received some messages that I didn't have time to review, I'll try to get to them this week and reply to all. So if you reported a bug not related to this patch, I'll take care of it.
Second of all, I want to thank a lot to all my supporters. Your generosity and encouragements always give me strenght to continue modding and to stay motivated. The truth is, without you using my mods it wouldn't be that much fun to make them. I love to see how you use them for your gameplay, how they help you in the stories you create, I love to get feedbacks like this. So one more time thank you very very much for your support.
And I want to say sorry for my recent silence, I again went into the "silent mode", I do it when stress hits me deeply and 2024 started quite bad for me so when things escalated (in my family and at work) I isolated myself from contacts. I know I shouldn't, but this is how I react in very, very stressful moments in my life. Things got stable again and I "unclocked myself" eventually. I am though switching the billing for March, cause it doesn't seem fair because I didn't post anything new in February.
Other Updates
From other updates, I am in the last phase of Realistic swimming update. The work on the career part took me much longer than I expected, but now all 6 branches within this Swimmer career are ready, with custom assigments at home, with some new interactions and benefits. Now, I am working on the swimming ring and interactions related to its functionality. When this is ready, I will publish this mod, firstly for the Patreons, as a pre-release phase. And then shortly after to all.
On the screens below you can see:
- some home assignments (for the presentation purposes I made 5 per day, but it will be 2 par day in the game).
- also some of the new interactions (I added for example interactions to buoys to shoot a documentary - as a result there will be a video recorded if you have Get Famous - so some cross packs functionality too, but of course base game gameplay as well). *The interactions are greyed out on the picture cause this Sim doesn't have enough swimming skill ;)
- for Olympic swimmer and Member or Synchronised Swimming there are interactions to take part in the competitions, they have several scenarios (I can see I have to ajust the text on them, but they work well, so there can be a success result or failure one). Winning the competition will be essential to be promoted at some stages.
I know it takes ages to finish this mod, but I am so excited about releasing it! I hope it happens soon!
Thank you one more time for all your support and for reading this long post!

100% agree with what the others have said - self care is super important, especially in today's world. Your mods are amazing and make gameplay so much better!! Thank you for all your hard work <3
Thank you so much!
Good luck with the updates! Take your time
Thank you! I hope today all will be updated!
take care of yourself! bit sad that the magic school wont work for me atm due to a lack of pack or two but thats not your fault whatsoever <3 thanks for creating content to make our sims life easier and funnier.
Thank you! Hopefully today all will be updated!
You shouldn't feel badly about taking a month off, especially if it means coming back eager to do new/more things! I love your current realistic swimming skill, though I admit I wish swimming felt more viable before rank 3 (which I generally do from classes) or the skill went to 10.
Thank you! And thanks for the remark, maybe I'll make 2 nd level a bit softer in terms of drowning :D I don't have that much ideas to make this skill 10 levels. My skills limit here my creativity and the game itself gives very little options.
I do the disconnecting thing too! Don't feel too bad about it. It's a trauma/stress response and apparently a common one. You did great telling us that it had happened and giving yourself the time you need to go on a break too. Self care is important. I hope things get better for you and your loved ones. Take care and thanks for the update and info!
Thank you very much for the support, I know it would be better to notify people earlier that I have issues, but it's so not easy to say and predict that 1 day of worse mood will end up as a month of being a bit paralyzed by my own thoughts. :( Thank you for your kind words as always <3
