EA Policy | Future Outlook
Hello everyone!
I'm sorry for the delay with making this statement, I was really unsure of what to do, and admittedly I still am. As it stands right now, early access format seems to no longer be acceptable from a community standpoint, and whether or not EA has removed their original 21 day grace period is still up for debate. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I'm still not completely decided on what I will do in the event EA makes any clarification, but as of right now:
early access will continue through the month of August
(as current patrons have already been charged for this service)July's sets have been released to public early
For September and onward, if clarification is not made, and/or EA states early access is no longer permitted, I will be removing rewards from my membership tiers and leaving them as donation only. I will continue to create sets for public release in a scaled-back form, and the Sims 3 conversions will no longer be available (converters will be free to convert my sets as they did prior to me bringing Keibea on board).
So many of you have been with me since the very beginning, and others have been a patron for many, many months. I am so grateful for everything, and I am both incredibly awed and humbled that you felt I was worth supporting. Content creation is my full-time job, and if things are different from here on out, and I have to find other work and have less time to create for Sims 4, I still want to give back to those who have genuinely cared for and encouraged my work all along. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and here's to hoping things will get better ♥
UPDATE | August 3, 2022
Since EA has come out to confirm that the grace period still exists and reasonable early access is allowed, I will be continuing forward as I have in the past. As August remained the same regardless, I will clarify that for September and onwards, things will remain the same as they were prior:
patrons will receive ~21 days of early access to my sets, after which (as always) they will go free to the public
I can continue to pay Keibea for her hard work and Sims 3 conversions will continue to be offered with each release
I want to thank everyone again for your kindness and patience with me in this matter. I understand some may be disheartened by the news, but for those creators you know who have always played by the rules, early access helps us to stay consistent and focus fully on creating for the Sims. I have long considered moving to other platforms, but have never made the switch because creating for the community in which I am actively a part of and still enjoy is my main priority. Though some may advise against it, this marriage of my hobby and my job has been extremely fulfilling for me, and I am thankful to be able to continue on in this way.
Whatever the future may hold, I am greatly honored and appreciative for all of you who supported me along my journey, from uncertain beginnings to where I am now. I am happy to continue to create for those who made this experience possible for me. Thank you once again for all the encouragement. You are all incredible ♥

It is such good news that at least that the grace period of 21 days still remains! At least creators can keep that option to continue to be supported in their hard work <3 Happy and joyous to hear that this will allow you to keep creating. How sad it would be otherwise to see such a wonderful skill that you have build up for so long to end like that. Well, it can ofc turn into another direction maybe (non-sims i.e.) but your talent in the sims is simply precious. Thank you still for creating. And that despite of hard times you still have the strength to turn to your hobbies and make something beautiful and inspiring out of it. There is nothing but admiration I have for you. Bless you <3
🤗❣️🤗
I love your creations SO much! You are such a talented artist and your work brings me so much joy and inspiration both in the worlds I try and create virtually and the real physical world I am honestly struggling to love again after a long bout of deep depression. Thank you for sharing your magic with me! 💖 Your newer sets have especially spoken to me!
Thank you so much for your message. This comment is incredibly touching and I'm honestly really overwhelmed ahaha, but I'm so glad that you find joy in it. I know just how important a hobby or a piece of art might be; things we turn to when everything else seems to go dark. Even something small can feel like a lifeline. I honestly wish you all the best, and hope you can remember to find beauty and goodness and things that make you happy again. If I remember correctly from your previous comment, you enjoy cottage themed cc, and I think you will be very excited to see this month's sets! Thank you again for your support ♥

I don't even play the game anymore but I just subbed to show my support for your work. Your cc designs are unique and the quality of detail is outstanding.
This comment blew me away when I first read it. It made me a bit teary eyed! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave me this message, you don't know how much it means to me. I appreciate the sub, but don't feel obligated to support monetarily, your words of encouragement have gone so far to brighten my day ♥
