Yuletide Greetings!

I have a terrible time finding things on Patreon, since it's more of a chronological blog. The Collections feature helps, as does the search, but you kind of have to know what to search for.

It's also kind of hard to write documentation with the editor ...

Archaeology Kit 2.0.12 - Patch Fix

I spoke too soon about not having patch problems -- found one! And fixed it.

The Docents aren't showing up at the Museums since the 10/22 patch. My earlier fix seemed to clear up the exceptions I was seeing, but it wasn't working. I also switched to View Post

Patch News: None!

I was able to test my mods with the patch for a bit today, and didn't discover any errors or obvious problems. As always, let me know if you notice any issues with any of my mods!

I missed part of the fix in Family History 1.0.5, so I've released Family History 1.0.6 just now that takes care of it.

Happy Patch Day!

There's a Base Game patch due today, and it's hard to tell what it might break. For the first time, EA released the new tuning descriptions before the patch, which is great if it's their new practice. But it als...

Where is Ciudad Enamorada?

A few of my mods, such as the Archaeology Kit and Family History, suggest that certain regions are in distinct parts of the SimWorld.

Quick Patch Notes

I just downloaded the latest patch, and once I removed a few mods by others that were throwing exceptions, I didn't get any errors from any of my mods. I checked a few features of a few of my mods, and they seemed to work correctly.

That isn't to say that I'm sure they all work correctly with the patch yet, but they don't...
