It’s been a while since my last post because I’ve been super busy with various projects. At the moment, those projects are Sims 4 related. I’m now working on new mods and content for my Simularity <\/a>website. In regard to that, things are going well. I’ve gotten several new Patreon subscribers, some Ko-Fi donations, and even a couple of gifts on Discord. I’ve already got more mods and updates ready that I’ll be posting to the site tomorrow at the earliest. I shouldn’t run out of ideas any time soon as I have a long To Do List of my own plus I am constantly getting requests from other Sims fans.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

In January and February, I was in a 3D content making mode. I created several new characters for La Femme 2 and also L’Homme. One of the last characters I released for LF2 ended up being a huge <\/span>seller in the Renderosity Marketplace<\/a>. The character’s name is Rishima and she’s apparently one of the best I’ve ever created. I still have another couple characters in the pipeline, but I needed a break. I worked on the characters and such so much that I ended up hitting a burnout.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

As for family life… Every time I think Dad can’t get any worse, he gets worse. Now he is in the agitated and sometimes downright hateful phase of dementia. We’ve even had a couple arguments, him and I, and they were both quite heated and afterwards he refused to talk to me. Mom keeps reminding me not to take to heart what he says and just let it roll off. That’s easier said than done. It’s also not easy seeing someone you love to disappear before your eyes, but she and I are both going through that now. The stress of all of this is causing me to have painful physical symptoms such as migraines and IBS. It’s not doing Mom any favors either. I’m very worried about her health. I’m also worried about Pixie<\/a>. Dad has overfed her to the point she is having difficulty walking. Mom and I are doing what we can for her but stopping Dad from giving her too much food is next to impossible. I feel so bad for Pixie. Dad never lets Pixie leave his side and she doesn’t want to anyway. I’m worried sick that she’s going to die before her time and what that will do to Dad.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

I’m still holding to my resolution to save up enough money to buy a Nvidia 4070 GPU. I have about half of what I need so far. A couple more months or so and I should have enough. I bought some software today, about $50, but I seriously needed that software, and it was on sale for a limited time. This is the card<\/a> I’m looking to buy, unless I find a better deal once I have the money.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
