Looking Ahead

Hey all! As you may have noticed, I'm starting to get back into modding, and I wanted to share a short explanation/update on the future of my mods.

These last few months have been really rough, and I don't want to share anything beyond that, but what I had intended to be a short break needed to be longer for personal reasons. Almost every facet of my life has fundamentally changed this summer, and the amount of time that I'm able to devote to modding has been dramatically reduced.

I do plan to keep my mods updated and believe that is possible given my new schedule, but new content may take longer than before. With that in mind, all subscriptions will remain paused, and I will be focusing my attention on creating the mods that matter most to me without focusing on releasing to a timeline. I will still share periodic work in progress pictures there may be occasional polls, but until things settle down, I can't promise consistency, except for maintaining the mods that already exist.

Thank you all for your understanding. I realize I missed some updates over the last few months, and I appreciate not only your patience with me, but also your words of encouragement and kindness. I'm so happy to be part of a community that is so supportive and understanding.

<3, ~JS

I just wanted to say that if I were in charge of modding awards, you would win several! I will always be grateful for anything you choose to share with us. Thank you!

I love your mods. If the $1 a month is helpful to you, please charge it! My suggestion would be just charging the $1 tier if that's possible, until you can be back more, and letting people decide about it.

Life gets in the way of gaming. It sucks, but we all roll with it. Get your life the way you need it to be in order to keep your sanity. Though I'm not a subscriber, I appreciate everything you do. I do have a suggestion. Ask another modder to update your mods if you're unable. I'm sure someone would be willing to help out as we've all had our lives at some point go astray. Keep your chin up, keep your sanity, and be sure you take time for YOU. Nothing and no one can be done, fixed, etc. if you are not doing well. :)

I'm going to directly quote to you what I said to Nolan-Sims the other day about a similar issue: "I think you should keep billing on. When I sign up for a Patreon subscription, I plan on it lasting until the Patreon page is pulled or the creator dies or I am unable to continue supporting the tier. I know not everyone is like that, but as long as you put out at least one item a year, I'd be just fine." It's just as true for you as for them. Life sometimes gets in the way, but I'm here to support in whatever way I can until the train derails.

Love everything you do. And we’re here to enjoy whatever you give us. I love all your things, and I’ll be excited when we get new ones. And perfectly content when we don’t. Real life comes first, and I hope whatever is going on resolves happily. Rest and time away is important.

Just take care about yourself, dear Jane *hugs* Thanks a lot for the update. I'm very sorry for the tough period you are going through. I hope it will settle down in time in a way favourable to you. I'm grateful for all the incredible work you do, you are a real inspiration. Please don't worry about consistency. You are doing us all a big favour by creating all that amazing stuff at all - it's not your duty. I'm thankful for your generosity with which you share your work with us. I'll keep looking forward to any pics you post, it's always like Christmas came to my inbox<3<3<3

Your mods have been an inspiration to me as someone who likes 3D and animation. Thanks you I’m considering getting into animating sims. Reading this post I related a lot. Sometimes life changes things out of our control. And sometimes the things we love to do can be difficult to keep doing. Just know we support you! Thanks for continuing your work and still leaving me inspired.

Thank you for sharing. I for one am immensely grateful for any and all hard work that you put in. Take whatever time you need when you need it and release things as you please as well. At the end of the day you need to take care of yourself and your life takes priority. Best wishes for the future 😊
