Hey guys, I started working on the set again and actually played the game for a bit without wanting to shut it back down immediately.

That said, I want to give you all a brief update on where I am at now:

I finished all the swatches for the wardrobe parts

I renamed all objects to be more cohesive

I playtested the objects

And here is what I still need to do:

The second topper of the corner piece has a broken specular map, which needs fixing

The mesh of the first half topper needs some adjustment for smoothness

All meshes need to be tweaked slightly (placement) to get that built-in look without tool mod

I have to adjust the footprint of the objects so they won't interfere with each other when being stacked

My semester ends in about three weeks, so I am optimistic to say that this set, wardrobe-wise, will be done at the end of this month at the latest.

Here is my plan for the future: to not get overwhelmed anymore. After the wardrobe release, I will make one or two standalone drops outside the little sprouts set. I will still finish this set, but I need a break from it.

At the top I have a sneak peek for the set; all done parts have been put together to display all the swatches, new and old, so you can get a closer look.

To avoid putting unnecessary pressure on myself again, I won't be giving a release date.

What I can tell you is that the project is getting very close to completion. The wardrobe is almost finished: all meshes have been imported, and I mainly need to finish the swatches and maps. A few meshes still need some minor placement adjustments, but those are small details.

Once the wardrobe is finished, I will upload a new ZIP file containing all previously released objects as well as the new wardrobe pieces. I've also gone through everything and given the objects more cohesive names and descriptions. In addition, I forgot to add the new swatches to the desk and pinboard, so those will be included as well.

To help prevent situations like this in the future, I plan to make two changes.

First: no more "it will be done by this date" announcements.

I know it's nice to know when new content is coming, but it's simply not realistic for me to guarantee releases every Saturday. This is a hobby, and my work and university commitments will always have to come first.

Second: I need your input.

I've been thinking about adjusting my upload schedule to better fit the workload from my new job and my seminars. So I'd like to know which approach you would prefer. Please keep in mind that this would be more of a guideline than a strict schedule.

Choosing Option A doesn't mean there will never be larger sets again, and choosing Option B doesn't mean every month will have a large release and no smaller drops. This is simply about which type of content you'd prefer me to focus on most of the time.

Hey Guys, I had planned to share my new floor tiles with you today, but when I came home yesterday I noticed some technical difficulties. My PC crashes every five minutes and I can't get anything to run.

I will try to get it back up asap and get the new post to you.
