Hey fam,
It's been a minute since I posted an update and wanted to let ya'll know what I'm working on and what to look forward to.
Firstly, some extremely exciting news for the Chastity mod: one of you lovely patrons has gone ahead and surprised me with A FULLY FUNCTIONING COBRA CAGE PART to use with the mod. This means that after the next update, you will no longer need the Simdulgence cage in order to use the mod. The mod will be completely capable of putting cages on sims on it's own. NOT ONLY THAT but the cobra cage comes in multiple sizes which means the progressive shrinking feature will finally be fully functional and not just flavour text. These cages also come with eight color options which means the mod now comes with 24 different cages out of the box. And I still plan on allowing for ya'll to use other cage parts as well. There is a bit of a lift now to fully intergrate the cages into the mod. 24 cages means 48 unique wicked whim part codes for my mod to keep track of (because each part gets a "erect" code and a "soft" code) my plan is for colors to be managed by a trait picked when a sim first puts on a cage (and can be changed anytime the sim is unlocked) as well as an initial cage size with the potential for down sizing using the current cage shrinkage feature (which admittedly needs some cleaning up). I may also need to revisit the penis size feature in Gay Archetypes to allow for smoother connection between the two mods. (I'm not super satisisfied with how the feature is functioning currently anyways. )
SPEAKING OF GAY ARCHETYPES, GA is getting the first potential mod guide, and will be getting a major update along with the guide to make sure everything in the guide is accurate and also matches all of my design intentions. This update includes an overhaul to the Leather trait (and bdsm system as a whole), turning it into small aspiration to complete, with a continuation into a Leather volunteer career (meant to function like an after school activity for adults) that includes a leather pageant and various submisive and and dominant social events. Also after some soul searching I'm also going to be adding some queer functionality tied to Royalty and Legacy (because frankly that pack is WAYYY to straight on its own and that needs to be rectified) such as the ability for daddies to invite boys into their dynasties, and a Secret/Scandal related to being closted. Eventually I also want to fully embrace the drag queen trait and add a drag career and drag related dynasty values but that may probably be down the road.
Finally I know it's nearly been a year since the mod became non-functional but I AM still working on an update/reboot to Gainers and Feeders: in truth most of the big changes coming to Gay Archetypes is R&D for Gainers and Feeders, making sure I've got a handle on cooking event goals and npc eating autonomy during social events to make feeding social events function nicely. And of course there is already a major food overhaul coming to the vanilla game eventually, so G&F will likely release after that, to make sure I've accounted for all those upcoming changes.
