Life Update
Added 2023-10-08 22:14:40 +0000 UTCMy Dear Simmer Friends, hope you all are safe and well ♡ I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincerest apologies for the unexpected hiatus in content creation. This community and your support mean the world to me, and I believe it's only fair that I offer you an explanation.
My plans for September were clear. Originally, when I returned from out of town, I was going to create a mini set with a thought-out concept and some CAS cc. During the last month, I found myself dealing with an overwhelming workload that demanded my immediate attention. I love working as a 3D artist, but the pace of the job and the demands of a lot in a short time started to affect me badly. Also, there were unexpected changes in the health of our close family member that I mentioned before and my mother broke her foot. After all these events, I was very stressed and burned out. For my mental health, I did not use social media or play the game even once during this one month. I deeply understand how disappointing this must have been for you, especially for those of you who have invested in my work. I cannot express how grateful I am for your patience and understanding during this time. It makes me very sad that my job and hobbies that I love to do have become like this but I will try to take steps to manage my health and this state better.
I would also like to say that I have refunded my patrons for September, as nothing I have mentioned so far can be an excuse for not notifying you. I've also paused billing for October. It seemed very unfair to take money from you for a time when I did not create content. Normally, I would share this post at the beginning of the month, but it said that refunds could take 1 week, so I wanted to wait. You may have received an informative e-mail about this these days. I couldn't find a bulk refund button thus I refunded everyone individually, so there may be members I missed. If there are members like this, please contact me.
Okay, this post is long enough and I don't want to bore you. Please accept my apologies once again for any inconvenience my absence may have caused you. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly via email or social media. Thank you for being the incredible community that you are ♡ I look forward to reconnecting with you all very soon. Take care!!

Aira, thank you for letting us all know that you are okay. Firstly, that is most important. Secondly, we all hope that you are able to find respite and peace that you embrace for yourself. Often times in life it is balance of our individual activities and social responsibilities that often do not add up to a healthy summation. Make sure to set yourself goals that are realistic without minimizing your health. May we see you soon in a happy place.
