MODULE 10 RELEASE PERIOD ESTIMATES

As for news, module 10 won't be finished this month. Next month (November) it will come out - unless something really very major happens but hey let's not go there - when exactly I don't know. 

I am seeing the 'hand doctor' again next month and am hoping for it to be helpful... but there's no way any action or procedure - if needed - would take place before a few months from now so even this should not impact my November estimate for module 10.

Here's a tiny update about module 10 

Custody attributions etc are quite done except for two little occasional bugs that I need to investigate (notably occasionally sims come back from court with no verdict haha, not helpful). I am still to finish the visits system (lots of pieces to think of there, and it needs to be taken carefully to make sure everything fits right and behaves proper), and haven't started the money matters (those are easy & quick though compared to the kid-related stuff so that's not a big concern). 

For some screenshots because why not:

Non-amicable divorces will see each partner able to look for a divorce lawyer, which will help them get the results they want. (note I didn't add cost info yet so that is missing from the screenshot).

For amicable separations, parents can discuss custody and agree on it. For non-amicable separations, if a sim really doesn't want custody they can agree to let the other parent have the kids (if the other parent wants that), in any other case it's going to be a court situation.

Decisions are made on a child-by-child basis so, siblings may go together or be separated, whatever the story leads to. 

If the separation is amicable or if you use a 'cheat' to force the custody attributions, you also get to decide which parents gets which kid's custody. Obviously this won't be shown if the sims are deciding this in court.

If the child was in another household than the one that gained custody, they automatically move households.

Custody decision is kept track of visibly for the player, through statuses (text subject to change). Statuses will vanish once the child has become a young adult:

Hoping to have some more progress news to share with you soon, notably on the visit system.

Thanks as always for your patience and your support, you make my world go 'round.

Very best wishes,

Lumpinou
