Quick Good news and bad news

Good news is I can finally tell you: compatibility with Wonderful Whims has been improved thanks to Turbodriver's enthusiastic participation! And, before you ask, some sizeable improvements to compatibility with Wicked Whims are in the works!!! Exciting, isn't it?

This couldn't be done unilaterally, and only through both of us being in touch once more. The time wasn't right before, but now things are improving in terms of integration!

If you update Wonderful Whims to today's release, you must also update my mod to v2.4, which makes the changes needed to work hand in hand with Turbo's release of earlier today.

NOTE: if you want to use my risk system with wonderful whims, turn off the game / mods pregnancy override setting. If you want to use wonderful's risk, leave it on. You can use protection items from either and both mods, they will recognize each other no matter what. Wonderful now recognizes my 'not using condoms' relationship status and my 'WooHoo Without Protection' interactions.

Bad news: adoption module delayed to tomorrow

More than 13 hours in a row spent on wrapping the adoption thing up today and still I'm not ready to release the adoption module. Add to that some more time testing the new, all-in-one version of the mod (we no longer have different versions for wonderful whims & normal!) and here I am, brain fried, tired, and rather upset to say 'that thing isn't ready for release yet!'.

There is a little thing with adopting away babies that occasionally glitches badly now, which it didn't use to do in the previous version of the module, and I know why but haven't figured it out how to avoid it yet.
There may be other little things but I'm not sure since the beta version has barely hit testing grounds. We just need more time to go over everything. So, tomorrow, testers will go through everything and so will I, and I will feel a lot better about releasing this.

I must say that I failed but I truly tried my best. It's not rare for me to spend 8-10 hours in a row working on mods but today is one of the longest modding days I've ever had. I really would have wished it would have led to a final release. This module has been trickier than it has any right to be.

Of course, what I said about refunds in my last post still applies. 

Sorry and thank you again,
See you tomorrow,

Lumpinou

Thank you ❤️

Take care of yourself first and foremost! Give yourself time to work out all the issues and release things when they are ready. Get some sleep and come back fresh when things get stuck.. As a user its more important that things feel ready when released rather than expecting things on a certain day. Plus- we're all human, and this has been a rough, rough year.

Considering things are being changed compatibility - wise, I'm not going to modify any info now so I don't have to again. However, info is already consolidated. In the 'compatibility' section of Woohoo Wellness, there is everything. And it should all be simpler soon even :)

Lumpinou

I really appreciate that you and Turbodriver are seeking to work together. A lot of people are probably trying to use WooHooWellness, along with WW (and the Woohoo portion of MC Command). These 3 mods are all important to advanced gameplay, but its confusing to try to figure out as a user (and I imagine as a modder!). Can I suggest you consolidate all the information on integrating these three mods into a post on your website? Its scattered throughout the Patreon posts but having it gathered in one place (and of course updated as you go) would be awesome.

Hi, sorry for the delay. Just got back to my computer and turned off the cycle and set it to 85% pregnancy, and it still had the same result, where it changed the pregnant with to 1 female when it was a boy

Brianne Berg

So excited for more compatibility with wicked whims! I love both of your mods, but haven't been using a lot of the woohoo wellness modules because they don't play well with wicked whims. Looking forward to using woohoo wellness to its fullest!

Kechi

I had replied to that, suggesting to try with pregnancy set to simple mode with percentages instead of cyclical and see if this any different. As that would give us more info where to look at.

Lumpinou

Sorry, I accidentally deleted my post, so what I had said, I was brainstorming that I wonder, if in connection to my first issue, that it's just overriding her pregnancy with the baby from the recent woohoo, since it seems to bypass a sim who is on her period and using a condom, so it could be bypassing the fact that the sim is pregnant.

Brianne Berg

I informed Turbo. We're pretty puzzled over this, but we'll see if it starts making sense

Lumpinou

Baby gender can change depending on what the sim does, the game codes it that way - maybe your sim did something that encouraged another gender. My mod does not at all modify or impact baby gender so idk.

Lumpinou

I have risky set to 0.

Brianne Berg

Also, it seems like woohooing with another sim who is pregnant is changing the gender of the baby sim. My sim is pregnant and she's expecting a boy, but when I have her woohoo with her husband, and I check with MCCC mod, the baby is now a girl.

Brianne Berg

Any Mc Woohoo risk settings?

Lumpinou

I seem to be missing a setting that I either need to turn on or off, but I downloaded your updated mod, and I also have Wonderful Whims. My sim seems to get pregnant with every woohoo, even though she is on her period and her boyfriend uses a condom. I have it sent to follow the menstrual cycle for pregnancies, I have Override Game/Mods Pregnancy on (I also tried turning it off and I got the same thing). Am I missing anything else?

Brianne Berg

You are so amazing. I appreciate the work that you do to make the game interesting and you went above and wayyyyyyy beyond.

Evangelina, thank you so much and thank you for having believed in me from the start and staying along for everything. You are amazing and your support means a lot

Lumpinou

Your mods are the only ones I don't want to play without. You're amazing! We're here because we all think your work is absolutely worth paying for. Don't stress, the mod is amazing as it is! I'm soooo excited to try out new features, but I also understand you're a human being. Don't rush, take your time. We can wait :)

AllyCat

You didn’t fail at anything! Stuff gets in the way, things happen and it’s ok! Don’t stress yourself out over mods! You are the first person I’ve ever pledged to and I have never wanted to get a refund and I’ve never regretted it. Look at everything you’ve done for this game! You should be proud!

Amelia

Don't apologize! You could even take some time to rest and get it to us in a week. Who cares about an arbitrary deadline, patches, bugs, and the like happen that you can't control. Your work is phenomenal and your dedication is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Ally

Great news ;) Don't overwork yourself, you are doing sooo many things for us. Thank you very much, stay safe and healthy. Lovely regards as always from Austria

Evangelina Silvercloud

Please dont over work yorstess, love your mods and deff not gonna cancel or as for a refund, you are worth my subscription your mods add so much to the game. thank you for what you do <3

Kaity McLaughlin

Don't overwork yourself! I love ur Mods so much and I'd never cancel my sub. If you need more time for this or that mod, then that's the way it is. Please don't put so much pressure on yourself. Best regards <3

nikkinvin

Please, don't overwork yourself so badly! I can say from my own experience that this level of stress and pressure might have pretty unpleasant consequences - I got very ill the year I had to work 9-10 hours every day without weekends. I think all patrons here will agree that we can wait several weeks or any other time you need - I don' remember who said it, but 'you can't rush perfection' (and your mods are perfect and game-changing). Your health, both physical and mental, is way more important than any game.❤️

Kaedeo

I had not played the sims since December until yesterday. The whole time I never cancelled my sub to you. My logic was that even if I wasn't playing I could still contribute in a small way. After going back to it yesterday the progress you have made is astounding and your mods are even more amazing. Please get some rest and stay proud of all the progress you have made. We appreciate you

I gave so much money to EA, which wasn't worth it. Thanks to your Mods the Game is finally fun to play again. Don't stress yourself. I gladly wait :)

Hal 9000

I don't want a refund! ❤️

EaselEar

I agree. You should take a day to rest your mind some. You've done so much work on this mod, it will not hurt any of us to wait longer for it. Thank you for creating this, but please do take care of yourself and be certain to take breaks and some mental rest.

Roomouse Cronk

RIGHT?! like bust the dust and we all had to wait a month for their bug fixes while modders fixed it for us in 24 hours.

Nicolette Hogue

never apologize!! you are working hard and creating something better than EA itself! Don't stress, if anyone can not see that. As these things take time to bring out. Than they dont deserve your hard earned work. People need to learn to be compassionate. Patient. Understanding. side note, i didnt realize there was issues with this mod with wicked whims. haha. I guess I have not noticed anything. I dont think. Oh well!! If there is, it is not noticeable at all. Dont be sad. I think most of us can agree you should take a day break from it. Take the day off !

Nicolette Hogue

I agree with silient take your time

Brianne Vincent

Don't worry you didn't fail at all can see you are working hard with this mod and can wait till you can finish it don't be so hard on yourself you are doing all you can to deliver us with these amazing mods. Think most of us know that mods are hard work and sometimes don't go according to plan there is mostly always something that can go wrong that you need to figure out but know that you will be trying to iron it out. So don't worry to much i am here and alot of others are to that will stick to waiting and not pressure you on when it comes out and will stay patreons.

Silient

so do we not need to have the wonderful whims file anymore? just the regular one for woohoo wellness ?

Inde

Ew no refunding for me lol you have some of the best and most engaging mods! I’m happy to contribute what I can :-) delaying to perfect it isn’t failing it’s being responsible...ea could take lessons about holding off a couple days longer to work out the bugs in their games!

motherofpuppies

Take your time! Your hardwork on this mod is appreciated!

April Prevard

You definitely didn't fail! You are great and have some of the best and most essential mods! So happy to wait as long as you need because it's going to be worth it.

Don't worry about it at least we all have something to look forward to tomorrow! 🙃 Your posts are the highlight of my day! 😜

moonlightsimmer

So excited for the compatibility!!!! You’re doing great! Thanks so much for spending your time making these mods! I love all of them especially “woohoo wellness” soon to be something else. You’re an amazing modder and deserve every penny. I’ll support you as long as I’m playing sims (hopefully continue when the new sims comes out eventually)

Dizzy

So exciting! I adore this mod so much. I'm glad to wait.

TheOne

AHHHHH! I don’t even care about the bad news. Comparability with wicked whims sounds so good

Dana Anna

I'm so excited. As long as I'm still playing The Sims 4 I'll be here supporting you.

C2theC

Great news about the Turbodriver mods! And no worries about the adoption module. You’re doing great.

Sigmund

Don’t worry about it! You’re doing an amazing job. You didn’t fail. You did your best and we all wouldn’t be here if you didn’t. Your mod is my absolute favorite.

Ooh, I'm excited about the Wicked Whims compatibility. No worries about your delays!
