Important news on future progress

Hello everyone!
Not the best news today, but what must be must be.

I am going to take a week off of creating new stuff, but keep working on mods in other ways. 

I really need it. I haven't had a day off of modding since July.

A - I'm mentally exhausted and that's causing me to make mistakes more than I normally would. (For example updating No Strings Attached for the patch with old files, causing an old bug to come back.)

B - My hands & arms are killing me. I've had many upper limb surgeries on both arms / hands (about half of which didn't really work) and chronic pain and problems will follow me lifelong, but pushing it as much as I have been is putting me in real risk of doing myself more irreparable damage, if not done already. I have reached a point where I need a break for my body and my mind.
 
What will I do during this time? 
- Clean out my files, and continue / finish to clean out my mods, as I had announced being doing a while ago and am doing; [EDIT Nov. 17: that is now finished for all mods except the Cheating Module of Contextual Social Interactions, Psychic Sims!, and Rambunctious Religions].
- Keep doing mod support, which generally takes 1-2 hours a day, more around release times or when issues are found.


What about after a week has passed?
Then, I will resume working on new stuff, at a reduced pace. I will keep this reduced pace until my hands don't kill me 24/7 anymore - or until I can't take working less fast anymore and resume doing too much because I'm an idiot that way.

Will we see another release in November then?!
I sure hope so! It's still my goal, even with this mini partial break.
Thanks to all who will be understanding and hang on with me.

Love and thanks,

I endure chroic pain from my grout so please take your breaks serious as this is the best game in the world too many but it is just a game even myself at times i need to unplug and allow my hands to rest as playing a lot of sims is just as painful as creating the magic that a YOU do so well. rest my friend !

Hello Lumpinou ;) You did such an amazing job for us, hours by hours, days by days. You made our Sims4 game more alive, made it sooo much better and you are such a lovely person. Take you time, enjoy your free time, stay healthy and safe (COVID). Don't push yourself in these hard (world) times. I'm chronical ill as well (a very strong Polyneuropathy, Fibromyalgia and more) and that's the reason why I can understand your pain so well. Stay strong and take care of yourself. Lovely regards from Austria

EaselEar

i REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN CREATE ANYTHING BETER THAN YOU HAVE ALREADY. OF COURSE YOU PROVE ME WRONG EACH TIME. MY prayers are with . sorry for all caps, didn't realize until now. Please don't overdo yourself. Like I told my patients you can very easily destroy months of hard work in a matter of seconds, by pushing too far, once you do you are lucky to get half the strength with twice the work it took before. Thank you for all you do , and my prayers for your hubby as well if I read previous post correctly .

Kristina Caler

Please take the break and longer if you need health comes first and we will be here when you get back.

Jeanna Hicks

You have more then enough earned a break. Your mods are fantastic, and game changing. I don't know how you've gotten this far without a break. Take care of yourself, rest, and everyone will be waiting patiently until you feel better.

I am so beyond thrilled with the content you have created. I followed you on MTS and had to come to your Patreon. Your mods give much needed depth to the game!
