Patreon Version Warning
🕑 Added 2023-06-04 01:40:58 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I have a not so great post to make today. It would seem some people are sharing the Alpha version of SNB. Please do not do that. This could be harmful for the recipient as they may not know all that is involved with this version nor have access to updates to resolve issues we've seen or make adjustments based on feedback. This also messes with the containment of test series where we are tracking issues before Public Release.
Alpha and Beta versions are given with the understanding that we are working through those bugs and need super users to provide feedback on these versions. When someone goes around that and hands it out, you muddy the controlled testing. If I keep seeing this happen, I'm going to lock down the tiers that have access to those versions to trusted individuals and only make available the Pre-Release version. That means a longer wait time for everyone. Please don't make me have to do that.

that is awful someone would do that. Why pay for access and give it to others? I really do not see that benefit. I would never do that, I am selfish and feel, if I pay for access I want it for me! I also think it is rude as you work hard on your mods and there is a reason they are subscription access only. I really hope people will stop sharing.

That would be a bummer. I'm sorry to hear this. I appreciate all the work you put into your mods. They seriously enhance the game.

This is really sad and I hope it does not come to this at all.

its not like you keep your mods behind paywall like other creators you release it publicly. at a decent time to.

I have done that so much lol. I even changed my pledge on here so I can get debit cards early. I normally check to see if they release enough stuff for the price they ask for, then see how much I want. That way I can decide if they stay or not.
SapphireSims
Exactly! I wanted to try out the full features, so I signed up to a few patreon's (some just for a month) so I could get what I wanted to play with...$4-$10 really is not much at all, and if you can't sign up for all at once, try one each month. Always a few that ruin it for the majority.
Danielle
what a shame. smh
Shaikirah
Same. I don't get peoples need to do that. if you cant afford an early release pledge, just wait it out. the wait is never super long anyway
Whiskeikitten
You are the third person I follow that have had early access or Alpha version being released. I'm so sorry that some people feel the need to share stuff.

Ridiculous! Why would people do that? This is really sad. I am so sorry.
BlackPiano
So much thieving! This is why it gets next to impossible for people to get nice things.
🤦♂️ I hope some people understand that getting access to the mods doesn't mean it's a free pass to share with no control... as a software engineer, I always face situations like this, where third parties get access to WIP development. Then it becomes a massive mess for devs. Sims 4 Mods are not an exception...

me too!!!!!

It sucks when people don’t know how to follow rules. It’s not even a lot a month to subscribe. People can be so inconsiderate and always mess it up for everyone else.
SapphireSims
This is so sad to see. Honestly, it doesnt even cost that much to sign up and gain access for yourself. That is exactly what I did because I wanted the newer version
Rah Farmer
Wow!!! People are wildly disrespectful! I appreciate everything you do!! I found about you via TikTok and just became a subscriber instantly!!!!
Carrie Kohler
smh, baffles me why people would be so disrespectful as I am sure people doing this are old enough to know better...So sorry you have had to deal with that.
Charles Gotcher
Didn't we learn this lesson in elementary school? One, or a few, bad apples ruining things for everyone else? Make the choice... Be mature, Be responsible.
Netira
Thank you for all that you do. It's awful that some people are so unappreciative.
Stephanie
Awesome!Cant wait to see the new update.
SimRealist
It switches to Beta next weekend if we can resolve the bug currently present this coming week.
Stephanie
Understood. When will the Alpha version be available to the 4 dollar tier?
Lauren Bennett
so sorry this is happening :(
