Notes on WHW module 10 release

Hello everyone,

Just a head's up that the final, clean release of module 10 post will come up today.

It's wrapped up as much as it would let me. Which is, almost completely, but not 100%, because some things are just refusing to go and I don't know why still. 

When yesterday I was trying to add a moodlet to a sim and it refused to work - a MOODLET, the simplest thing to do quite simply!!! - I realized that this module 10 is simply and completely cursed, but worse than that, it has put me in a situation where I'm in the middle of quick-sand, struggling and trying non stop but not really making that much progress, haha. I just need to be doing something else by this point. And come back to this later...

Anyways, I am keeping out only: 

- the moodlets for after child visit (which you guessed it were the ones that wouldn't appear), 
- the pet thing (this one I'll finish in the next few days but it's not important enough to make this clean release delayed), 
- and the random event phone calls (those are giving me trouble as well at the moment and will take more time, they're all written up and whatnot but to have the test s function quite right and timing etc and then them causing the right thing to the right sims is a bit of a pickle) but it's feasible and I'll finish them after a break from this module and having worked on something else).

I will re-read the post of suggestions and requests and see what I could still add in from that post, and also put that in the list, but once again, I will work on all that after having worked on something else, so, it's not forgotten and I'm not throwing away my files - but it has to be later, because insisting on this module so long has simply caused my efficiency to go down by a lot, my creative and problem-solving side of the brain is not working as good as usual from looking at the same things so long.

I will be making an add-on or two, and then working on v3, which is when I'll come back to this module 10 stuff, as well as on all other modules.

One add-on to work on, I will choose myself (I already have, truly, but you'll hear of it a bit later haha) and another one, I'll put up for a vote between a few choices!! Said choices will be based on complexity / density so that whatever is chosen additionally to the one I chose can both be completed within a very reasonable time frame. 

My thanks and best wishes,

Lumpinou

when did you arrange custody - what version of the mod do you have? Many ways to get them back, if it's stuck you can just call child home early from the sender parent for example.

Lumpinou

where do i down load module 10 at

Paradise Symons

Hello, I hope you're having a nice day. I have a question how do you get your child to come back from a visit? for some reason it doesn't matter how many days I choose my child never comes home.

Misty

Mods showing under custom content means close to nothing unfortunately. Are your scripts enabled? Files extracted? No deeper than one subfolder in the mods folder?

Lumpinou

I installed the mod, it shows up under my custom content but I cannot play it when i select my household of choice to play with

can confirm it does the same for me atm. used mange worlds to put back in right house. got the ex to come over in person and still was not working. not sure why

Niamh Cara

Since it is not something that normally happens, there must be something related to the context to it, but finding what is generally not easy or quick haha. Lemme know if it happens again. Also you can always ask Sims in person, so inviting the other parent on lot and asking in person is also an option to replace the phone call if it won't go through because of whatever mystery

Lumpinou

Yeah I tried a few times but I figured I’d try it as the dad and it worked fine. Just thought it was something to bring attention to. Thanks for your quick responses I love your mods!

mommyshark

Well that doesn't matter, it should still have showed you the window to then pick the child, I believe I set it to show up no matter what, so it would seem something wouldn't go through at that stage

Lumpinou

Yeah it had me pick the ex but she’s got only one child lol

mommyshark

So you call and then it doesn't show you a screen to pick the child? But it did in the reverse? 🤔🤔 Weird

Lumpinou

As the sole custodial parent when I click the call ex button they come over but nothing happens. I had to switch to his household and call her for a visit and then it worked and I was able to set up the arrangements for shared parenting. I just thought it was odd I couldn’t do it as the custodial parent

mommyshark

Well that's a new one 😯🤔 so, precisely - you click the interaction, select to call the ex, select the kid, nothing happens?

Lumpinou

I went through custody court and all that jazz but when I select send child to ex they show up at my house and never take the kid. What am I doing wrong?

mommyshark

can do!

Would you mind going to my server? We can troubleshoot much better there, I can see screenshots of your files of this mod and also your family and Pregnancy menu and profiles etc so I can see what's up

Lumpinou

yes

Do you have discord?

Lumpinou

No, the options are not there at all. And sorry I just thought because my sim isn't considered as having a child that's why they might not be popping up.

Upon getting divorced I imagine the game adjusts the tree. It's of no consequence for custody if the relationship panel still says the right thing. So, if you go under 'family and Pregnancy' you don't see the options for custody?

Lumpinou

It also says that Meagan is Deacons mother its just in the genealogy tree it doesn't recognize it.

Yes it does. It says Meagan has custody. I think I might have found what's wrong. When I look at my family tree it doesn't recognize Meagan's son Deacon as her son. He doesn't appear there but he appear as her ex's son. I have no clue how to fix this.

Ah so they have done custody. I thought they hadn't, sorry. So, in relationship panel with the kid it says custody stuff?

Lumpinou

Yes, they definitely separated through your system. I remember it was there at first, but it isn;t anymore. They still have the tags of it being a not amicable separation and the divorce is finalized and custody and everything has been assigned. They just recently separated when I got the custody features installed.

Did they separate through my system? Were they done doing so before you had the custody features?

Lumpinou

Thank you so much for the continued work on this mod! It had improved my gameplay x10! I do have a question. My sims are divorced and the option to send my child to see their mom isn't appearing. How do I go about getting that to work?

I figured out how to use the custody mod few days ago, I found if I removed one of the old files and replaced it with the new file and it then worked.

Ashleigh Barry

This is module 10 release on the other post I made eight after this one :)

Lumpinou

Thank you so much for this i love your mods you are so talented can't wait for module 10 release

Sophiee Sharples

Aww that sucks but I get it, thanks.

moonlightsimmer

You are SO amazing!! Thank you for everything you do for us. You work so hard, and it’s noticed and very appreciated ❤️

Amanda Cunningham

That's just for the two higher tiers I believe. They must get some advantage otherwise it would be a little nonsensical. I don't do polls enough in fact haha

Lumpinou

Thanks so much for keeping us updated! Will all patron tiers be able to vote?

moonlightsimmer

Thank you for your wonderful work and for keeping us in the loop. Completely understandable to need a break from this; I can't imagine it's fun or productive to keep battling with the same thing, and creativity is too capricious sometimes to box in. I hope the next module provides some much-deserved inspiration and engagement for you. Excited to see what comes next, but of course, your wellbeing comes first!

I seen that that one it’s wellness mod with the different modules I’m so dumb I just thought you clicked each individual one so it’s all in one together! Gotcha!!

Description links are leading to description posts. Don't click those to find downloads. Downloads are on Patreon at the bottom of the posts. I had to split descriptions from download posts because it was way too long and messy together

Lumpinou

Hi I love your mods I just joined today but I am having some issues downloading the actually mods when I click on the links in the description down below it leads me back to your website maybe I’m probably doing something wrong ? Could you assist me if you have the time please ? Thank you❤️
