Hello everyone!

First, monthly warning:

SUBSCRIPTIONS RENEW ON THE 1st OF THE NEW MONTH FOR EVERYONE, UNSUBSCRIBE NOW IF YOU WANT OR NEED TO UNSUBSCRIBE!! :)

Second, info:

Remember when I said that finishing the child support thing was going to be quick and easy? Yeah, well. It wasn't exactly haha. Someday I'll stop deluding myself like that!...

The difficulty was due to, once again, the rotational play factor, and in addition, the need to be able to count how many children are in whose custody to judge what the amount of money should be. Because I am exploring completely new ways to do things in order to have the flexibility needed for things like these module 10 systems, there is a learning curve involved, so I got stuck on small things (notifications, typos, etc) and on bigger things, getting delays. As things stand, I should be able to release the updated visit system (with auto cyclical and shared custody options) and the finance sharing and child support tomorrow. But the rest (moodlets, socials, etc) still isn't ready. Phone calls and half moodlets have been made but are just like parts needing to be assembled and made to properly fit. Then whatever else is just not done. I am very disappointed that I couldn't wrap it all up; and if you are even more disappointed, you know where to write me a private message and ask for a refund. 

So what I want to do is to make an update tomorrow with the features mentioned in bold above, and after that, update that same post / file daily or every other day with whatever I'm adding, until it's all added. There are a few elements that are systems but most of what is left is literally simple simple stuff so it would be fine to do micro updates like that... 

This module has been terrible, I will be very happy when I feel confident that it is done... in the meantime I do my best every day to reach that moment.....

Sorry again and thank you for your patience....

After this, I will be working on a small add-on (haven't chosen which one yet, if you have a favorite for suggestion let me know, might put it up to a vote!!) and after that small module, and perhaps an update to Open Love Life, I will start working on improving the entire mod to get to a v3 that hopefully I can be proud of.

And since we are nearing the end of the year, I will say already: I love you all and I am so, so very grateful to have you with me on this journey. My mods would be nothing without y'all enjoying them and inspiring me for always more. My life would not be the same without this and I can't say thank you enough.

Sincerely,
Lumpinou

Lumpinou, I know that sometimes one can feel most disappointed when they don't meet the goals they set for themselves in the time one expects BUT I want to remind you that you are doing an AMAZING job and to ALWAYS keep that in mind. We truly don't mind if the content comes a little later than you had planned because it shows you take your work seriously, that you are working hard, and that you appreciate us and our resources enough to be putting in so much detail and hard work. Please don't beat yourself up about this. Always remember how much of a game changer you have been, and that you have achieved SO much. A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and your family.

Don't be so hard on yourself Lumpinou! There are a lot of additions within the mod for this month's release. It's impressive, even more with a hand injury!

P.S. I agree with creating a poll and vote for the Autonomy Add-on to give our npc sims more autonomy/ control within their relationships and lives! Better than EA's Neighborhood Stories update.

That sounds like a crazy complicated bit of programming. Good luck & take the time you need, I was super impressed with the divorce module as it exists even now.

Seriously, the quality of your mods is the reason I still play the Sims. Don't get too hung up on deadlines. I was wondering when you'd be able to work on your law and justice thing. I CAN WAIT!! I'm not demanding anything immediately! I just don't want you to forget! Sim crime must not go unpunished! I will always be a patron and you can always take your time!

Dear Lumpinou;) Your mods with the unbelievable scope are so wonderful. Due to the huge content, it should be clear to everyone that you need all the time in the world. Please don't stress yourself . Anyone who has your mods will always give you all the time in the world. Thank you very much for your commitment. You are great! I wish you a happy new year, good health and love. Lovely regards from Austria

Evangelina, you have been here since literally month one and I am so so humbled by that!! You are extraordinary in how you support so many modders not only with Patreon but with all your nice messages. I am very happy if you still enjoy my mods after all this time!
