New Mod Reveal & stuff :)

Hello everyone,

Time is flying and we are already nearing the end of yet another month!

I hope that you found something to your interests in the recent 'sims summit' thingie. I have not seen it but I've seen bulletpoint recaps :)


On to business!

In my last post, I mentioned a new 'small' (smaller than the rest, that is) project which I would try to work on while I hope that my hands will calm down and heal up. Now, I would like to talk about that project.

This is what I will work on until things are better with my hands. Why? Because if I touch any of my big projects, even to just do something small - what will happen is I will not stop myself and I will do too much. I know myself, and working too much is what got me here in this difficult situation to begin with.
I understand if you are disappointed. I am not happy either about this temporary ‘change of plans’, neither am I happy about the difficulties I face in everyday life right now due to my hands. I am trying to make the best of what I’ve got and trying to still give you content, but content that I can more reasonably handle as of now. 😊

I don't know yet exactly what the mod will be called, but for now I will call it the "Sim Memory Profile" mod.

It is a mod that revolves around key life events, how the player can visualize them, visualize what other sims were involved in them, and how these 'memories' can impact the Sim. It is, indeed, basically my small take on a memory system.

1. (DONE) You will be able to open your sim’s memory profile to quickly visualize what marking events have happened in their life (an optional ‘auto assign’ is planned for sims fresh out of CAS but it probably won’t be made for initial release).

(I'll probably change the verb tenses and more but here's a view; there are more possible memorable events ofc)

2. Through the panel, by clicking on an item you will be able to quickly visualize what Sims your Sim has had specific relations or rapport with (for example, see who they have woohoo’d with, who they work with, etc). Included are also some extra markers (for example, for the Sim another Sim has their very first ever woohoo with). (UNDERWAY, trying to finish by the end of month but who knows.) 

3. (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET) Based on those events, the Sim might react differently to things happening later in life. For example, if your Sim has gotten fired once, and then it happens again later, they will get an additional reaction. Same if they are on their second divorce, etc. (this will just take a bit more time because Moooooodlets take me time, but it's easy to do, so, it's just a matter of patience)

____

So, what do you all think? Any interest or meh not worth it?

As said above, I can't handle the big projects right now but still want to bring you feature releases; does this work for you? I'm not even going to try to hide the insecurity here haha.

I have something like 15 'memory worthy' things made for now, but happy to make more if you have suggestions. Some are from the game (divorce, escaping death, etc), some from my mods (pregnancy problems, coming out, etc).

My goal & hope for end of month is to have all finished except the 'impact later happenings' part because at my current pace I know I won't have time to get to that this month. Goals are just that and I can't promise that it'll happen. If not, I'll release just the 'record memories andview panel' part s to start with.

____

P.S.: two easily fixable issues with RPO have been brought to my attention, so I will re-upload that mod soon for that reason.

Love ya all,

Yes, your mods are always worth it. It gives my sims reality of living situations we may encounter in our own life

Adekanbi Gaynor

I love this idea! Take all the time you need, health has to be your priority!

Ophelia

Your mods make the game a lot more enjoyable! I love your mods period. The most important thing is a person's health! Take your time and I know I'll be waiting patiently for your next updates on your mods!

Melinda Cosby

I love it and take all the time you need. Will be happy to wait for anything.

Lendi Morgan

Love this so much! Really missed this feature. P.s you could shit out any mod and I would be grateful. You do an amazing job but make sure you come first!

Sheila

DEFINITELY worth it. I'm excited to also see your Law & Order project as well!

Pyxie

Im here for it

Jondara Bryant

yessssss

AthenaVee

it's giving The Sims 2 memories!! Love it- Ugh i wish there was better zodiac mods out there

Melanie

1000 times yes, I absolutely love this mod idea!

SpiritSim

This sound great but please Focus on yur health

Shota Tsunamura

LOVE LOVE this idea. Very creative and I can't wait to see where it takes you. So glad you're taking care of your hands and I do hope you continue to do so. I very much appreciate you trying out a smaller project so that you can give us something, because you certainly didn't have to! <3

CurlySim

I'm looking forward to this! Thanks lumpinou!

Lizzie S.

That sounds amazing and so many ways to play with it in game. Definitely looking forward to what you come up with!

Makanvi Talawali

Sounds like it will be a lot of fun....can't wait

Andrea H

Love this. I always wished Sims 4 had a memory system. Also definitely take your time, I love your mods but you're health is more important. We understand. You've already done so much to make my game feel more alive.

Alexis Preston

Sounds really interesting. Can't wait to see what you do in the future. Thank you for all you do.

Carabear 77

Depends on how it works etc, I haven't had a chance yet to check it out. I do hope to join. But Patreon etc also will stay ofc

Lumpinou

I’m wondering too ! I’m hoping they all are cause I’m so tired of spending days updating lol. Then I don’t play.

Nicolette Hogue

This pannel thingie is forever yes, doesn't vanish after days :)

Lumpinou

Also, will your mods be on the new platform?. I hope so.

kesionna

Please you are doing an excellent job already. Take your time, and give your hands a break so that they can get better. As for this new mod I love it already. Perhaps not so much of a question for the memory. But I would like a request. Can you make it so that the memory stays with the sim their whole life and not just days?

kesionna

I love this idea! :) I've also always thought it's a shame that sims can't tell other sims about major events in their life (much like you can in some of your other mods). It might not be part of this particular mod but either way I love this idea! Thank you so much for all you do! You have saved my game!

Liliin

I miss the memory system so much, so if it's an easy mod to do, then I say go for it. if it's going to mess up your hands more though, it can wait. we're not going anywhere :)

Tiffany Crystal

Ok I actually really love this!!! :D

Karen Titman

I love this idea so much!! Thank you for your hard work and please give your hands enough rest 🫶🏻☺️

Vanessa Gw

That sounds really great! I have KS’ My Memory system and don’t know if I want to keep it still. In the meantime, hope that your hand heals up well. It sucks when chronic pain keeps you from doing hobbies and fun stuff.

Perfect Cyan

This sounds fantastic! Such a simple thing that I think will add so much to the game! Thank you for finding ways to keep providing content despite the situation it's really admirable and I'm glad you are taking the time to look after yourself

Ruby Tebbs

I love this! It sounds amazing and can't wait!

LaurenK

This sounds really cool 👌🏾

Vonnii

sounds amazing

Dacia Yang

As always, this mod sounds really cool and I’m super excited!

Teyla White

I'm very interested in the memory of woohoo and kisses with names as I play rotationally and keep messing up who is with who (sometimes I take them out of favorites and the relationships reset) or when trying to complete the serial romantic aspiration XD but PLEASE, don't overwork yourself!

MarleyTheWizard

Sounds really cool. Rest up and take it easy though, you don't want to do any more damage to your hands. Your health >>>> your mods. xxx

Nadia I

I love this idea! I've wanted a better memory system for so long. I would love it if it could somehow incorporate pictures/screenshots as well. I'm not sure what's on the list, but as a legacy player, I'd love to see the birth and death of grandkids/parents added to the memories.

Crystal Jones

I like anything with the memory system! I hope that it’s last a lifetime instead only few days. It’s so more realistic and impact a full meaning of there lives! Thank you!!

tipoual

this sounds really cool! I've tried kind of manually keeping track of this stuff before and I always forget to add things so I'd love an actual memory system in the game!

Jenni

Sounds great but I hope you take all the time you need to heal up. We love your mods but I am sure no one wants you in pain. Thanks for all you do and no pressure. XOXO

Lady D

The Sims 4 desperately needs a memory system... LOL. Many simmers will LOVE the idea Lumpinou don't worry! It's very impactful to gameplay and without memories our sims are currently lifeless, boring, and their lives are meaningless...🙃. THANK YOU! 🥳

moonlightsimmer

I think the mod will update once events happen in the game and you can manually add memories if your sim experienced something before the mod was installed.

moonlightsimmer

This is AWESOME!! Was just thinking the other day how fantastic a mod like this would be!! Very interested 💖 but please take care of yourself and your health first and foremost!! I'm happy to wait and have less frequent mods and know you're doing well ;w;

Alex Reeder

I just wanted to say you're amazing and loved. Please be careful with your health and don't push it also that mod sounds awesome. Anything you make always comes out above my expectations. Thank you and stay safe.

K. Fry

First of all, it's good you're taking care of yourself and choosing to care for your hands is a good example for all of us in balancing care and work. Thanks for the example. Second, this doesn't feel like a small project and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have this. I was super hype reading your descriptions. As a rotational player, I wonder if I'll be able to catch up on what has happened with my Sims while I was playing another household? If so, that makes me super happy! If not, that's okay too!! I won't be greedy! Lastly, I get the insecurity and I won't invalidate you. I will just say that you are super talented and your talent, skill, work, and love for this game (and us) is very obvious. I couldn't do anything like this with good hands, so please know that we appreciate you. And if anyone complains, send them my way. I gotchu with the backup! Lol! Thanks for allllll the ways you make this game super enjoyable and amazing! <3

Miss Boo

Might be way off course, but may I suggest to talk to ravasheen about custom memories? She made that photographic memory mod awhile back & that was all about custom memories, maybe she could help you on that front?

Rebecca Impastato

i feel like others who try or have tried to do a "memory system" in the sims 4 it seems pretty baseless in the sense that all you can do is talk about the memory, there is no other affect down the line just a 15 minute inspired emotion. Very interested on how you will make it more intricate and detailed to where it has some sort of affect on the sims life.

Nicole franco

Hell yes to anything that is like a memory system! I love the sound of this! My only question is all of this will be autonomous yes? I’m way to lazy to have to enter everything manually lol. But, that extra detail would be nice to have if I had a certain story in mind. But, I am just spitballing.. in any case, it sounds awesome & I can’t wait for the final release & how it will grow over time.

Rebecca Impastato

It sounds really unique and fun to me!

Juliet

OMG this is so exciting!!! I’ve always wanted a memory system in the sims 4 and knowing you’re working on it I know the mod will be just perfect!!

Another Plumbob

This sounds amazing!! I’m sorry for your troubling hands I have carpel tunnel and arthritis so I can understand some.

Amber Burleson

That sounds super cool! I'd love it if there were a way to keep track of which sim successfully begged for another's life - from either end. Like I can click on my sim and say "oh yeah! You begged for your sister's life!" Or see that his sister begged for his life. I think there are relationship bits that do one but not the other, and they don't last as long as I'd like

Pepperam

That memory system sounds fantastic especially with the planned long impact system - thank you for your work!

Ardled

I'm all for it! Please take care!

Rochelle

Love this, much needed! Thank you but please don't over do it! Hope your hands feel better soon.

Jessi Burkette

This is so similar to the memory system in previous Sims games, and I'm here for it.

Russian Succubus

OMG i looove the idea ! I always spend so much time on the same households than bringing them a memory system would really be awesome!

Kimikosoma

Looks like fun to me! Adding more flavor and well rounded aspects to the Sims' lives is always great. Well worth the time Get better soon. Wishing you well.

Heather

I love this idea!! Praying your hands heal soon and you’re enjoying daily life a bit more

Hot Mess Simmer

Yeah that's basically how I feel about it too haha, I always prefer stuff to have gameplay impact of all sorts - but there's room here for that so, it's as always a matter of, needing to set up the basis, the foundation of the house, and while those aren't ever much exciting, they open some doors... But being as it is because of the imposed slowness, it'll take a while for said doors to truly open and so we'll start with something less interesting indeed!

Lumpinou

Omg I've been wanting a memory system in my game for so long. This sounds awesome

Drama Whims Simmer

This is a cool concept. I can't wait to see whatever you post.

TheOne

So just visualizing on its own isn't super exciting to me, honestly, but I'd give it a try. It might help me know how my Sim knows this random "good friend" whose death has devastated them but I don't remember AT ALL. I like some of the in development stuff, especially memories affecting future behavior via Moodlets. The fact that you know your limits is important. The fact you are still working to put out content you can handle right now...❣️

Simslegacy5083

Sounds great! Take care of yourself, we'll wait all you need 😃

Tattytattoo

I give these out as things happen in game but they can be manually added too if wanted. But you can't add custom ones no, because that at the moment is something I would not know how to approach doing, EVEN THOUGH I have absolutely been thinking about it and have some ideas to try out but yeah no guarantee

Lumpinou

Will appreciate anything that you do! Thank you for trying even in the circumstances you are in right now. That’s call passion, so we should just be grateful. Nothing feels worst than working soo hard and feeling unappreciated, so continue being awesome and know that we value you, thank you!!!

Jade

This sounds incredible 😍

SimmyChey

Yeah! Now I'm really happy <3 But pls don't forget to take care of yourself! <3

nikkinvin

This is super cool and I love the idea! Is there a way to give an option for us to add our own memories? Or will you pretty much cover everything?

Lena Rodriguez

This is awesome!!

Rilvil

❤️ I am relieved to hear it, I thought 'surely it's too SMALL to be of any interest'

Lumpinou

Well it's definitely been happening so, I'm glad you would! : D

Lumpinou

I think that many people will enjoy this including myself

Forever Forgotten

Sounds very interesting! I'd like that mod.

nikkinvin

I love the concept and everything about it
