I. Almost THREE YEARS of modding! :)

First of all, since we are very much nearing my three year modding anniversary, I once again want to express my immense gratitude to YOU. 

It is thanks to you that I can be in modding for the very long run, and able little by little to create new features to the game and improve them as I go. Your enthusiasm and faith in my work gives me courage when I falter. Your financial support means I can dedicate myself to this and keep maintaining my existing mods and trying to provide new complex experiences for the game, to bring more options to your stories. 

My mods would not be happening without you, and every single one of you is to thank for their existence.

III. About the next new RPO Mod in construction

About the upcoming new RPO mod, I believe you already know it is called "WooHoo Life", as for exactly what being made in it, I regretfully must ask you for a few more days of patience before I make the preview post.

The reason for that is that a few of the features I am working on for it, I am not yet completely sure that they will work out the way I want in the end - obstacles are usual and normal, but those are 'new territory'. So I don't want to start talking about it announcing things when I am not sure that I won't have to scrap them in the end.

I just have to ask you to trust my process for a little longer until I can show you what I've been cooking up without any fear or doubt.

I will not either answer questions about it at this moment, so please just wait for the preview post which will come within the week.
The less pressure I work with, the better & faster my work goes.

I will say at least that I am making a variety of features for it that I hope you will be excited about once you hear about them :)
Initially I was thinking this would be 'Small', but it has building up into a larger mod than I initially planned, with more aspects covered!
______________________________________

BUT Since we're here, I thought I'd already push out new things & changes that I've made to the rest of RPO since last time. 

Early Access for now; these new things will be public once the new upcoming mod goes public.

You don't have to update, you can wait till the release of the upcoming mod and official posts etc; but if you want to update, you can! Links in this post.

II. RPO: 'Quality of Life' - type update

*  New options under 'General Management' to Send Sim to Other Household or Bring Sim into Current Household.

* New cheat under 'Reproductive health' to easily & quickly switch impregnation attributes. Lots of people in mod support seemed in need of something like that.

* Fixes for grandchildren preferences, which weren't working or showing moodlets.

* Fix for infants unable to return normally from custody visits

* Fix for all household transfers: for those who have "Growing Together", sending a sim to another household (for custody visit for example) will mark the other household as 'Played' if not already, so your Sim doesn't loose their milestones. Also, babies already in correct household at custody decision should not try to leave.

* WTD Cheats: improved and now also available on other Sims, not just the active one.

IV. NOT NEW but a REMINDER:
The RPO Collection mods have many cheats & debug options to help you!

I've been getting a lot of questions like 'how can I add / remove a relationship' or such. I also notice that many people have no idea about the cheats in general. So, here's a reminder.

A. Cheats about & on the active Sim

They are in several places. 

- General ones are under 'General Debug'

- Cheats relating to a particular mod of RPO or function are arranged thematically AND appear only when contextually relevant AND to avoid breaking immersion, are generally not called 'Cheats' but 'Sim's Status'.

For an example, the 'Pregnancy' cheat menu, located under the main 'pregnancy' menu:

When Pregnant:

VS when Not Pregnant:

B. Cheats on and about other Sims

They're located under 'Actions' then 'RPO Special Actions', when clicking another Sim.
