Hello Most Generous Patrons and Superstar Patrons! Today, I would love for you to help me make a decision regarding what should be worked on and come out next.
NOTE: Polls are ANONYMOUS :)

EDIT: Thank you to all who participated in the poll! I will work on the teen pregnancy interactions / reactions. 

If you haven't participated yet - you can vote in the poll now, whatever is 2nd place is what I'll work on after the teen pregnancy and mod maintenance. :)

REGARDING WOOHOO WELLNESS AND OCTOBER

Let me know what I should do! :)
This is the stuff that is still to be added to the WooHoo Wellness & Pregnancy Overhaul Mod:


New 'Modules':

- Changes / additions to adoption system
- Teen pregnancy interactions / reactions (I am not enabling teen pregnancies, other mods do that, I'm just adding interactions and reactions)
- Cheating and Trust system additions

Additions to previous Modules:

- Paternity:
- More interactions w/ children relating to if they're biological or not
- Ways for potential fathers to autonomously ask to go on paternity tests
- Moodlets and interaction after reversing a sterilization (I realized I left that out!)).
- WTDs:
- Consequences of AIDS / HIV when getting sick
- Little additions to the Herpes disease

I will make an announcement for everyone very soon about the following, which maybe you've guessed from the size of that list above: I won't have time to do everything by the end of October. In fact, I probably can do one thing, but that's it.

So, which feature do you want me to tackle first and try to release before the end of October, between the following?

- Teen Pregnancy Interactions & Reactions
- Adoption event where you meet the kids etc
- Cheating / trust system
- The little additions to the paternity system mentioned above

Note on confidence of completion on time:
- I am 100% sure I can do the teen pregnancy interactions in time.
- I am fairly sure I can complete the adoption event thing in time too if that was picked.
- The trust system is a big thing I've started working on and I will likely not fully have time to finish implementing that to all my mods, which it will need to be, but could potentially by the end of October implement it with WooHoo Wellness stuff. So it would be partial I imagine. Which is not optimal, so, be aware :)
- I am 100% sure I could finish the paternity system additions by the end of October if that was chosen.


NOVEMBER PLANS

Early November will have to be dedicated to some 'mod maintenance', meaning cleaning up some files, re-organizing some things, etc, so that when the Patch for Snowy Escape hits, I'll be in optimal conditions to update my mods. The Patch will accommodate the game for the new "Lifestyles and Sentiments" that the pack will bring. I am afraid that this addition will cause a lot of changes in game files and interactions and will require a lot of mod breaking and mod updating work. I want to be optimally ready in case it indeed goes that way.

The new 'Lifestyle and Sentiment' feature, while it may cause a lot of mods to break (my supposition, I may be wrong!), may also bring really cool opportunities to add to my mods. So, it may well be very worth it in the end!

Best,
Lumpinou

Oh god please work on the cheating mod! I’ve been waiting for ever lol also if you were to work on that could you just do 1 thing for me? And that add “easily satisfied” or “hard to satisfy” traits where if a married sim is not satisfied in woohoo with their spouse they would get tense and have the urge to cheat for being unsatisfied, being unsatisfied would give them a big reason to cheat

That's not what this particular cheating thing is gearing up to be. It's a broad system to add to jealousy in general and individual Sims being traumatized by certain cheating events and carrying that into new relationships. I'm not going to implement reasons for Sims to cheat as of now. I'm planning a Romantic Success addition to probably Road to Romance where this may fit, but this is not it right now... That would be a whole other system

Oh okay, really hope it gets worked on soon though

100% I would rather see current features implemented for teens than an entirely new module at this point in development, especially since you're confident it can get done with relative ease. I could be wrong, but I bet the jealousy system is gonna get hit harder by the patch than familial relationships, so it makes sense to wait it out. As much as I adore the depth with which your suite of mods handles everything - and I would love to see your take on the jealousy system eventually - there are existing cheating overhauls like Zero's that work well alongside yours. They're enough to get by on for now. That's my two cents anyway haha

I hope you don't mind chattiness because for whatever reason your message got me chatty haha. To clarify on the cheating / trust thing, I don't mean just reactions to when a Sim cheats -many have done that, I have already done that too it was my first mod ever. No need to rehash, especially since Zero nicely updated his cheating mod and it's really good. I mean a system so that each Sim has a certain level of trust in relationships, based on previous experiences, and that gives them different reactions and possible interactions; it goes up or down depending on romantic experiences being positive or not. This project is started and will fit very nicely with all of my romance mods. Taking into account relationship preferences from Open Love Life too, so that exclusivity-oriented Sims suffer more from cheating. And also that cheating be remembered in the couple and can have consequences onwards. A Sim cheated on should sometimes think back about it and feel less confident or feel like badgering their partner. So those two aspects are what I plan to do and have started. There are hints of that already in what has come out with the 'X cheated on y' in the relationship panel. :) But yes this is a bigger and longer work than interactions for teens to get yelled at by their parents for getting pregnant, absolutely absolutely. I do personally think that making the teen pregnancy stuff would be more fitting for the only few days I have ahead of me, if I really want to release. That is also something that would be easy to have testers look at while I'm adding to it, so I wouldn't really need to reserve days for testing either... The game update might impact basically all social interactions so teen interactions, if that is the case, would get hit as much as the rest. I mean, in my view, either the lifestyle and sentiment will be a shallow thing added to only a few elements and then not be trouble but not be interesting or a good opportunity for future modding - or it will be a really developed system that will break basically every mod. That's purely me speculating haha, but I like to be ready for the best / worst. Thanks for your feedback! :)
