Poll Results, First Lot Trait, and Calls Update ver 1.0.991 (Patreon)
Content
The poll for my top tier patrons has officially come to a close. It was a showdown between an overhaul to the Daughter of the Easter Hare pregnancy system vs the all new slave state aka The Caged Bird. When I made the poll I thought it would for sure go to the Easter Bunnies (may they hop eternal, shiny and chrome) but was surprised to see them absolutely get destroyed in the poll by the caged birds, with only four votes going to the hippity hoppers!
Well the people have spoken, and then next big update I will be working on releasing will be The Caged Birds! If you would like more frequent updates on the status of development then please feel free to hop (like our poor bunnies) over to the discord where I post more frequent updates!
In other news, I wanted to get an update out with the winner announcement and before the big seasons patch probably ruins every mod everywhere (don't worry, I will be working on a patch if my mod needs one, diligently after the patch drops), and I barely made it!
I'm proud to introduce my first lot trait! The Escort Call Center!
Remember the old calling system? Well it's been moved to this new lot trait. Assign it to a lot and any prostitute while on the lot will start receiving calls every 15-30ish sim minutes while on the lot, but there's some slight changes. Before only your prostitutes personal client list would give your escort a ring a ding ding on the phone, but now when on the lot all prostitutes will get access to a large global client call list making this a great way for a new prostitute to rapidly grow their own personal client list. But, hold on! There's a Catch! Prostitutes on this lot will take a 30 percent pay cut on all profits earned on the lot which will go to the lot owner's household if there is one. Once more, the delist phone number flags will be ignored while on this lot. There are some mods out there that add lot owners to public lots and while I haven't used all of them, I bet a mod like LittleMsSam's more buyable venue's mod would work http://littlemssam.de/more-buyable-venues-and-new-venue-types/ let me know!
So what about the old client call system??? well it's been overhauled in a massive way. Like before, to receive client calls you will need to build your prostitute's personal client list, then a client may call your prostitute to hire them as an escort. If you choose to accept then they will bring you to another lot for some paid for lovin'. Also, while you are on the 'date' with them, you will be able to do the deed as much as you want without ever having to offer your body again (until the event ends)! I think it makes for a much more exciting outing. The lot trait is my first step towards making a legitimate brothel system. So, for the time being, I think this makes the most sense.
A few notes about the calle center lot trait. It's going to need at least one more overhaul. When you accept the call, look at the spawn points for the clients to show up (they sometimes get stuck on base game geometry) and make sure you are in range of the client before trying to do the deed. Some lots get the sims stuck on geometry more than others, so you may have to experiment around for the best place to put the lot trait. Don't worry, I'm not done with the lot trait yet.
Lastly, we have a little update to the Daughter of the Easter Hare as a consolation prize. The trait now detects the game's 'on ley line' lot trait. When this trait is detected on the lot during a clutch laying, then it will double the number of eggs laid! But your Bunny will also get a buff that will prevent them from becoming pregnant again for about 1.5 days.
I want to thank everyone again for supporting me and especially to those who participated in the poll. Now to prepare for seasons patch day, and start on the new caged bird state!
Enjoy!
