now accepting commissions, play-testing, + more | updates 01.

hello friends! happy october! may your month be as spooky or as cozy as you'd like it to. regardless, i hope it goes well. in an effort to do more behind-the-scenes content, i've decided to start doing monthly updates too! let you know what's coming, what i'm working on, etc. we've got a few items on the docket to cover for this month, so let's go ahead and get started.

・commissions have re-opened again! as of right now, i have 20 slots open for commissions for the month of october. once i reach that threshold, then the tier will be closed/unpublished. after becoming a patron of the tier, send me a message stating what item(s) you'd like and links to any reference images you have! there are rules for what items you may request and they are as follows:

・ you may request up to THREE different items, but only ONE is guaranteed to be fulfilled. if the items aren't too large or complex, then all three will be fulfilled.

・you are guaranteed to receive your item(s) within one month's time; however, if it is completed sooner then you'll receive it sooner. my turn-around time for items currently is a few hours after the request is received to two days at most. a month just gives me more time, but typically it doesn't take me very long. sometimes i may get inspired by your request and make more items to go along with what you requested. you don't pay more for that, i just add it in for free.

・commissions are for decorative items, however, if you'd like to request some function then that is fine. objects can only include ea's tuning, no custom tuning or tuning from other creators. acceptable forms of functionality are objects that function as:

• speakers, dressers, coolers, lamps/lights, televisions, chairs, surfaces with slots.

・all items are maxis-match and will be low poly. typically all text is in simlish, but you may specify if you'd like otherwise.

・please include reference images and a detailed description of the item you like. you can pick what swatches you'd like, the texture of the object, etc. if you have your own photos you'd like to include, then please send them to me. you may contact me via direct messaging here on patreon.

・all commissions are personal and private! i will not share or post your items publicly unless you allow me to. if you decide to keep them to yourself then you may do so. if you're fine with me sharing them publicly then i will post them in my goodie bag on tumblr. (all content is free and public.) otherwise your items will be sent to you via a private link on patreon.

・there's a brand new play-testing tier! this tier is NOT for early access content. since i've stared making cc, my content has always been public and free. i intend for it to remain that way. as i am growing as a creator and learning new skills, i've realized i need a bit more help. especially as i delve into more modding and custom tuning. that's where play-testers come in. here's what's involved:

・ALL content posted in this tier is unfinished, unpolished, and likely contains bugs and errors. it's my first draft of an object, collection, etc. that means there's limited swatches, wonky tuning, missing .dds maps etc. every single item in a set won't be posted. just the ones i need a bit of help with. the main goal is to test if it functions in-game as intended and if it conflicts with anything in the game. i do not update often and have a game packed with cc, so it's often hard to tell what items are causing what issues in my own game.

・ play-testers are required to provide feedback on the items posted by leaving a comment or messaging me directly. comments are preferred, so you all may discuss what issues you're having amongst each other. those who do not provide feedback will be removed and/or blocked from the tier. i genuinely need your input.

・play-testers may also suggest different features to add in, swatches to be made, etc. what ever you believe will help improve the item(s), feel free to let me know.

・ideally play-testers should be those who update their game regularly, have a vanilla play-style, and/or do not use many mods or cc. although, those who use a lot of cc are welcome to join too. i'd like to have the objects tested in different versions of the game. to see if it conflicts with other mods or causes issues on it's own.

・every thing i create will not be posted in this tier beforehand. typically only items with custom tuning or certain functionalities i haven't explored yet. everything doesn't need a play-testing period. for smaller sets/singular items the typical play-testing period will be 1-2 weeks. for larger sets it may range form 3-4 weeks. likely there'll be 2-3 rounds of play-testing. however, if items are tested and completed sooner, then the full finished set will be posted freely and publicly immediately.

・all of my content will remain free and public. you do not have to join this tier to get early access to items. there's no early access. when it's complete, you'll have it for free. however, i'm aware that people might still share the content around that's in this tier despite it being buggy and unfinished. don't get mad at me if it is. i'm telling you ahead of time lol. while i'd advise against it because truly these items will absolutely be unfinished, that's fine. especially as long as it's free. i like pirates lol. just make sure you come back and download the finished version when it's posted for free! there'll be more swatches, more items, etc.

・i'm also working a ton of new things this month! from new collections to collabs, there's a lot of things in progress right now.

・last month we finally began our venture into the deep house collection. this month i've begun working on the next part of it already. i don't have a release date in mind yet. i'm still in the early stages of planning, but i've been making good headway. my pinterest board for the collection is chocked full of ideas right now. it's simply a matter of sorting through what i like, don't like, and what i can actually make in-game. i've been working on improving my textures. i've gotten a lot better when it comes to drawing them, so i'm excited to revisit some older objects i've already made. give them a nice fresh update.

・i'm also working on a movie version, of my adult fantasy series, lykaia. i've missed it a lot since season 3 concluded and i've always wanted to put out a more refined version it, so i've decided to just go ahead and do it! a lot of the story was just going with the flow of my gameplay and making things up as i go. now that i've got a clear idea of who my characters are, what the story is, and how i'd like it to look i wanna give it another shot. and so i am! i'm working on the second draft of the script currently, but i'm really excited for it. it'll be nice to see how i've grown as a writer and a filmmaker. i've learned a ton of new skills, now it's time to put them to the test. i'm looking forward to this first movie!

・i mentioned it briefly above in the "commissions" section, but i do have a goodie bag available on tumblr! it's primarily where i post unrefined and unsupported content, but these days i've just been posting singular items that don't fit into a set. all of it is free of course. you know me well enough by now to know that's the case. ideally, i'd like to make a page on my blog for it but for now, you can find a direct link to the sfs folder here.

・i've also started working on a tutorial series! i'm not an expert by any means, but i've got some knowledge to share when it comes to creating. i've started writing down a tutorial for creating decorative objects. since that's my bread and butter, i figured i'd start with that. i always see people complain about so many of the tutorials being outdated. (you can STILL learn from them though! even if they are using an older version of blender. a lot of those skills transfer over to the newer versions of the programs!) so, i figured i'd help fill that gap by making some new ones.

alright friends, i think that's all i have to tell you for now. i'm looking forward to all the projects i've started this month. i think you guys will really enjoy them. anyway, love ya! see you again soon!
