Testing new WHW module - YET expect more delays (Patreon)
Content
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.
Want to help and test? Join the discord server - just keeping in mind that testing is not playing by any means. It's work, and uses beta, unfinished versions.
Best,
