hey yall, let's talk.

so, I've been thinking very hard the last few weeks- considering my situation, weighing options, crunching numbers. exploring ways to move forward here, and whether I even truly want to at all. and I got a bit of bad news. the higher paying job i was hoping to transition to... fell through. so now I'm in an even worse position than I was a few days ago. I don't want to go in detail about this for privacy reasons, but I will share I also have a dependent im partially providing for, and most likely that will soon be two. between that and the financial issues I shared before, I'm dealing with a hell of a lot of pressure monetarily. and while I'm eternally grateful to the three patrons I currently have, and im continuing to work on ways to make my patreon more appealing to others without paywalls, I need to do more than that to justify continuing to work on cc. to be honest, every time I work on cc these days, I feel guilty, as if im wasting time I should be spending on something that will help my family. I considered pulling away from sims content completely, but I also know it will worsen my depression, because I love engaging with it, creating, and talking with yall. and there's not much option i can realistically fill that small amount of time with that actually makes money, anyway. but guilt isn't always logical, and it is really weighing on my heart.

so, what is there left to do here? ...no, this is not a paywalling announcement, lol. but, unfortunately, I need to start using curseforge as a download option again. I said before that I can't turn down the help, and I truly can't right now, despite how much it tears me up to say that. I'll still offer alternate links for those that don't want to use cf. and I fully support anyone that does not. regardless, I know this will make people very angry. and I want to say that's okay, I understand. if you want to make callout posts, call me names, unfollow or block me, so on and so forth, go ahead. that's all right, I can handle that easily for the sake of my family. but this is what I have to do right now. and I hope that some of you will understand my perspective. I'm extremely grateful to everyone that has been kind of me through this, it means more than you know. love you 💜
