Hi everyone and thanks for sticking around!

I'm sorry to announce that even though we're starting testing tonight for most of the new features of WooHoo Wellness and Pregnancy Overhaul, it will not be ready to release this week-end

It will be out sometime next week though, I can absolutely guarantee. It's close enough to done, and entering testing for most parts, so cannot possibly take longer than that.
What day exactly, I'm not sure, I do as fast as I can but I also don't want to take chances and release it too fast only to have things not be good.


STATUS OF THE NEW MODULE

The big picture: The mod is functional, to the exception of a phone call or two that won't trigger and text that need improvements, yet, when has 'functional' ever been the quality standard here? I don't want just to aim to have 'functional' mods, I want to aim for functional AND well-made mods. This module as of now does not look finished to me. That's really it. I need to add a few more things / transitional pieces for elements to properly flow together and not have that unfinished edge. 

Then there's the matter of testing.

The detail:  
- Because it uses / impacts / changes things from previous modules, this update needs to be very thoroughly tested by several people. This takes a bit of time.

- The features themselves are time consuming to test (pregnancy lasting up to 3 sim days so every test takes a bit);

*****************

Why the hold up, you may ask. Well:

I set out to add a 3rd dimension to this module (player carries babies for other Sims), which I tried to do in just a few days and came pretty darn close. Then Patch day on Tuesday robbed me of over a day's work time. This didn't help. 

But I was too reckless with my deadlines, as I always am, just because it pushes me forward. If I kept my deadlines to myself they would have no effect. So I share them with you so that I get my brain in gear better. Call it encouragement. I always worked better under a bit of pressure. Yet I don't want to be so pressured that I'll release something not thoroughly tested or finished.

I apologize for the disappointments this may cause, but I do hope you'll understand.
I took some extra screenshots since the last preview, if you want to have a look, see gallery above.

Best,
Lumpinou

Although I was literally waiting all day for this mod, thank you for your thoroughness and commitment to quality. I love this mod!!

lumpinou

Aw no, I'm sorry 😅 Been working on it all day, until an hour ago I was still trying to convince myself that I could manage to get it out tomorrow, if that's any redeeming 😂 but no, it's just not going to happen, it would be a bad idea, and I came to see reason. I'm really hoping the early testing session will help move things along. Then tomorrow (and Monday if needed) I can add finishing touches and such, and throw it out for more testing...

I'm so excited for this! Take all the time you need. Any of your mods are well worth the wait.

Hazel

Definitely understandable. I would rather you take your time and get things tested to work as you intended. I am definitely on board to be patiently waiting. :D

This is amazing! I love the time and thoroughness you put into your work and even if it take more time, I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for this!

Liz Upton

That’s why everyone wants your mod so much because you put so much work into making it as great as possible.

So I totally forgot it wasn't out yet and tried to have a friend as a surrogate 😅 It's cool. We totally understand

With secret artificial insemination, will they be able to convince partner of paternity?

Kitty

Take your time, there's no need to apologize. Don't put too much pressure on you. You're doing an amazing job! :)

Pauline

Take your time girl!

I definitely understand working better under pressure, I am the same way. I actually like when you tell us what's going on and I'm never disappointed when you need more time because you are so open and honest with us. Take you time sweetie, we not going anywhere lol. We appreciate the hard work you do. Patch day put me behind as well, so I can understand how you feel. Have a great day and don't forget to take a break and rest your mind.

Patricia

understand girl. I think this is also why you are one of my favorite modders because you are very attentive to your mods and you always want them to be right rather than rush an unfinished mod. I much rather have a working finished mod than one that is not. I think most if not all do understand. thank you for taking so much time on this and try to remember you need time for you as well.

We appreciate your hard work, so take your time! 👌

Take your time! Please don't apologize. I'd rather wait for a great mod than push for a functional mod like you said! I appreciate all that you do and please don't rush or push yourself

I have a question. Will it be possible for the surrogate mother to live with the parents of the Child she's carrying?

GreyZone

You're doing great work! So excited for this whenever it's released, but please take your time :)

lumpinou

No, that could potentially cause issues. It's not that you can't do it, it's that the pregnancy of the NPC surrogate is a special status and isn't really a 'playable' pregnancy

lumpinou

Not as of now, but something of the like will come. It would take a while because it would require re working the paternity system. So, not for right now :)

But my sim can be a surogate and i can play with her during pregnancy??

deshonsims

Im sooooooo excited about this !!!! I cannot wait for the release ! you are genius

When it will be relesed??

lumpinou

I normally don't respond to this kind of question because I don't have an answer other than 'when it's out of testing and ready to come out'. It's been under testing for the past four days and remains under testing until ready to come out. Which could well be today. This is rather obvious in my mind - I don't delay releases for pleasure, trust me. I want to have it as bug proofed as possible before release.
