Happy Holidays!

I've been very busy IRL recently. I took a very long road trip last week to adopt my new buddy whom I've named Jojo (photo below). Now we're getting ready to be hit by a blizzard! I'll probably be snowed in for quite a while which will give me plenty of time to work on new stuff for the Sims. Thank you all for sticking with me this year! I promise much new stuff in 2023 and beyond. :)

I'm Almost Back

The past few months have been quite rough for me. I’m still not doing too well (there was a mix-up between my doctors and the pharmacy, so my medications were messed up for a while and that took quite the toll on me. Medications are correct once again, but it will take a couple weeks for me to readjust.) That said, I finally updated my game today and started to play again. That means I’ll b...

I'm Trying

I'm trying to get the site updated again but it's very slow going as I am currently very sick with the flu. I have a ton of messages I need to respond to but haven't yet because I'm just feeling too horrible. Hopefully this will clear up soon and I can get back to work. Thank you for understanding. 

I'm Still Here

It's been one bad thing after another but long story short, I've been and still am feeling horrible (physically, emotionally I'm still good) and both of my parents have needed more help lately than usual. I haven't had time or motivation for Sims lately but I'm hopeful that will change and I'll update the site sometime next week.

In the meantime, I've been working on my art projects to tr...

Patch v1.91 Compatibility

Just a quick note to let you know that according to my testing, all of my mods are compatible with the lastest patch. If you have any problems, please let me know so I can fix them. Thank you!

New Career Mod & Feature Updates

Sorry for messaging you all again so soon, but I have some exciting news for you! I finally finished my latest career mod and it's a doozy! 

Allow me to introduce, the Rock Star Career! It has two branches (Solo Artist & Band Member) plus seven chance cards with four outcomes ea...

Update, Fixes, Requested Features & More

I thought I had posted this here two days ago, but I apparently forgot to click the "Publish" button! Here is a quick roundup of what's been updated on my website. You can also view my full news post here: Simularity Update 098

New Trait Feature Updates & More

I probably should have waited until tomorrow to do this update, it’s a big one, but I finally decided to just go ahead and do this now. I finally, after a LOT of studying the tuning files and cross-referencing countless files, have figured out how to add custom wants and fears. I have updated a handful of my traits with the new wants and fears, but I plan to update m...

Update on Patreon Changes, Early Access, & EA

First off, here is the hot topic of the Sims community right now: EA's clarified and stricter EULA about mods and custom content. You can see the official notice here. Might want to have a looksie for yourself not just to understand what I'm doing but what every creator i...

Ch-ch-changes to My Patreon

As you may, or may not, have noticed, I updated all of the graphics for my Patreon to match my new site and logo. Pretty, huh? I'll be making other changes too starting next month. Here's a rundown:

I finally figured out how to release things "by tier" so from now on, only Tiers 2 - 4 will get early access and behind the scenes looks starting August 2022. This is done in fairness to those...

Mods Status for v1.90 Patch

>>>Updates At the Bottom<<<

My website started acting up last night, so I tried upgrading it and now it's messed up (on the backend) even worse. You can still visit the new and improved site, but I am so far unable to add new posts to it. I'm still working with my host to figure that one out.

In regard to today's patch, my internet has also been out since early thi...

Site Upgrade Suggestions?

I'm going to take a bit of time out of each day to do some website work as there are some important changes and improvements that I want to make to the Simularity website. I'll still be working on mods, cc, etc. while I'm doing this so don't worry. :) In fact, I plan on posting a site update either today or tomorrow with some brand-...

All of my mods are compatible with patch v1.89

As the title says, all of my mods appear to be compatible with the latest patch. If you run into any problems or errors, please let me know so I can fix them.

I also posted a new news update on the Simularity website. You can find that upd...

Trying to Get Back At It

I'm sorry that I haven't been around for a while. My dad's health declined again and then so did mine. Luckily, he's starting to get stronger again so here's hoping he stays well for longer this time. (I was so worried he'd be back in the hospital for weeks again.) As for myself, I've been having trouble with chronic fatigue to the point that if I don't force myself to stay awake, I'll sleep al...

Just Letting You Know...

None of my mods have any nasty tracking things or anything else of that sort. I read about that story at Sims Community and I just can't believe people would do such a thing; at least not people in our community. I just wanted to let you kno...

New Mods, Updates, and More of What's to Come

(I meant to post this two days ago, but it didn't post for some reason. Sorry!!) 

First off, the new mods! By request, I created my first lot challenge! The UFO Hot Spot Lot Challenge will greatly increase the nightly chance of any Sim on your lot with this challenge activated...

What is your download link preference?

I'm seriously considering setting up direct download links on Simularity so that you no longer have to visit another site for the final download link. My host says I have unlimited bandwidth so we can test it and find out if that's true. I'll still keep the download links buttons active for GoogleDrive and Dropbox as those are easy to maintain and people who have them like being able t...

I just updated a ton of mods today!

For reasons unknown, my auto-poster from my website stopped working so it's no longer automatically posting to Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr when I make a new post on the Simularity website. I'm trying to fix it but so far, no luck. I'll try to keep everyone updated and post here more regularly too now that I'm starting to feel a little better. :)

Before I get to the mod update news, I'm ...

I'm Fighting to Return to Modding

Things have been horribly rough for me in real life. My dad, whom I've always been close to, has developed dementia which is worsening by the day and his body is deteriorating as fast as his short-term memory. My beloved little dog has become wracked with arthritis but thankfully that has so far been able to be helped with medication, although she will be 13 years old this July. As for little b...

Current Status - Feb 17, 2022

I'm so sorry that I haven't done a better job of keep you all up to date. I've been very sick all month and my dad's health is starting to decline again. It's been crazy around here and I'm doing my best to keep my head above water... but not doing a very good job of it.

I am looking forward to the next game pack and hope that I'll be able to play it and get back to modding once it comes ...

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone enjoys their New Year's Eve tonight regardless of how you choose to celebrate it. :) I'll be back very soon in January 2022. I had to take a break to help with my Dad and do a LOT of work for my Mom which has me sore and completely exhausted (I've been having to clean out my parents' previous place of business completely by January 01 and I've still got more to do today as the c...

Quick News Update

No new mods today but I hope to have an update with new mods for you on December 06, 2021. 

Why no new mods today? I installed Windows 11 on my workstation back on December 02 (which took ALLLL DAY) and gave myself quite the migraine. I still have said stubborn migraine and can't focus until it goes away. Hopefully I can get to work later today or tomorrow at the latest.

New Mods & Trait Updates

Just wanting to make sure everyone knows that I've updated several of my traits and other mods. (There will be another patron-only post here in a few minutes once I finish typing it with some special patron-only preview mods!) Anyway, here's what all is new:

I have finally released my brand-new 2021-11-23 00:24:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Update: New Mods including New Trait!

I just updated the Simularity website with some new mods including the final/initial release version of the Farmer Trait which I shared the early release of here last week as a patron-only bonus. :) You can download the new release ver...

I'm Back and with Lots of Updates!!

My Dad is finally back home and on the mend. He's doing really well now and I can finally concentrate on The Sims 4 again. :D I've been working like crazy on updating all of my mods the past week. I've got about 20 updated so far. You can see for yourself on the Mods Update page where I listed everything that's updated a...

Pausing Patreon for Next Month

I would have paused it for August but I needed to pay the Simularity website bills that come due in August. Taking care of my dad and restarting being a professional digital artist is turning out to be a full-time job. I haven't had time for Sims and I feel really, really horrible about that. Maybe once things settle down by next month I'll be able to resume modding but I don't know for certain...

Keeping You All Posted

I just want to keep you all posted on what's what in regards to Simularity and my ability to create and post content. I'm still working on mods and content and will continue to do so. I just won't be able to be dedicated to it 24/7 like I had been. I'm still going to try to keep the site updated at least once a week if I can. That's my goal.

My Dad is finally home from th...

The New Simularity Website Is Now LIVE

All of my hard work is now (I hope) complete and the brand new Simularity website is now LIVE! I hope you like the new design and layout! Here's the news update detailing everything about today's unveiling: Simularity Update 064.

Mod Updates & Patch Incoming

I updated some of my mods on Simularity yesterday which you can find out more by checking out the Mod Updates page. Mostly fixes for the Psychology Career and added language translations for other mods.

The main reason for this post is that a big Sims 4 patch is coming out tomorrow and it is expected to BREAK A LOT...

Patch Day and Mods Status

Today's patch was a tiny one and it doesn't look like any of my mods were affected. Still, if you run into any issues, please let me know by sending me a message here or on Discord so I can help you. :)  

I managed to wrangle a second desktop that I am dedicating 100% to the Sims 4. I just now got it up and running an...
