Info on progress & what's coming very soon (Patreon)

Hello everyone and thanks for being here!!!
Here's a quick run-down of additions coming up in as soon as possible, a few days, this week for sure, as it is almost finished as you can see, I just need to tweak small things and do some testing with others. And also start figuring out integration / compatibility with some specific mods that may be a problem here.
The features in question are the possibility to do permanent separations either amicable or not and also give divorce reasons.
I lost 4 days on an error (there was an n instead of a t somewhere) which I only realized once someone else (Frankk in this case!) looked at it with a pair of fresh eyes!!
What is NOT YET COMING OUT is the court procedures and shared parenting. As I announced last time, that'll be the next step.
So, as I said, the permanent separation choices.
That's what they look like:
Applicable to married couples, bf / gf couples, and soulmates status without official name.
For the reasons choices, they haven't changed since I first shared this screenshot quite a while ago. This gives moodlets to both that fit the reason given.
Now if you try the permanent separations:
If the sims have very high romance and friendship, there's a strong chance this will show up upon asking for a permanent separation (text subject to change):
If you ask for an amicable permanent separation, the Sim asked can refuse to be amicable. This is influenced by relationship points and traits.
If you want an angry permanent separation, maybe the other Sim would have preferred things be amicable. In that case, you will get told they wanted things to be amicable, and each Sim gets a slightly different moodlet from the above case. (all screenshot text may undergo changes by release!)
And of course, Sims can agree to separate amicably.
Upon permanently separating through the mod as well as game, Sims will loose most positive moodlets. If the divorce is not amicable, they also lose best friends status if they share it with the divorced person, and lots of points. If amicable, friendship gets impacted only a little.
Don't worry, once it's all through, it will say properly 'divorced' or 'broken up' depending on which is fitting. It uses the term 'permanent separation' only for y interactions and moodlets etc but the resulting status and game moodlets are of course fitting ones to the status at hand.
Permanent separations being amicable or not of course will of course count to determine what different types of interactions are available in the upcoming rest of this module.
In addition, some revisions / additions to what is already out of this module, meaning, the separated status. Three new interactions, and some little tweaks, and added decisions.
(Excuse the sim legs on the screenshot, my sims were near their pool haha, it's like they're always there - including for example during a social event in winter... so many NPCs froze to death during that event I had to exit without saving -_-).
That's it for today. Opinions and feedback welcome! Higher tiers especially, feel free to make some (practical and small, please) suggestions / requests here also!! :) by the almost end of working on module 10 I'll make a big suggestion / request post as we used to have, for higher tiers to add / modify things according to what you'd want, but you can all start throwing some wishes in here if you want :)
Best,
