When is the ad coming out for Oughties Big Rapids Living?

The Sims 4: Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff has been available for some time now. But it is set to feature a trailer on YouTube, to generate further interest. However, there are some issues:

  • Staff planning a vacation.
  • Footage of buildings needed in real life, to compare to Sims footage, to make the ad more credible that real locations are re-created.
  • The Sodality: Adaptation Story Pack will take precedence. As will Imaki's bunker for Sodality: Instigation's story pack, after the release of Eco Lifestyle by EA.

All these concerns are holding up release of the trailer for OBRL. Along with that, comes the release of the other Sodality story packs, as well as those for all the rest of the Dozerfleet Megaverse. A new render of Camelorum Correctional will be needed as well, as the initial build featured on DeviantArt is a bit too unbelievable for the interior of a functional prison (i.e., no visitor room!) This is all just for The Sims 4. It is to say nothing of pending releases for Sims 2 and Sims 3 content!

Sims 2 content will no longer render properly, as the game won't load on Dozerfleet Main. As such, it will be difficult to test old content for that game on recent machines. Downloads will be provided as-they-are.

Sims 3 content can still be rendered properly on Dozerfleet Main. However, release of content for that game is not a priority.

Ciem: Inferno work, Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo work, the release of Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil, and work on the webcomic remake of Blood Over Water have all been delayed at Dozerfleet Comics, to make way for Dozerfleet Labs to get its content published first.

The reason for this delay, is because Dozerfleet Labs' content is more time-sensitive for release at the moment. Support for Sims games is waning at Dozerfleet Labs, so material must be released while that is still possible. Paralives support in the future is a lot of big IFs, at the moment.

Sodality: Adaptation and Sodality: Determination are of particular concern and emphasis for release, as these story packs are based on seasons of Sodality that are actually set in the year 2020 in the Earth-G7 timeline of The Gerosha Chronicles - which have been taken back for slight plot rewrites, due to how COVID-19 hysteria has affected the operations of the University of Houston in real life.

As such, Dozerfleet Labs has taken top priority for content publication in 2020, over and above even Dozerfleet Comics / Literature, and including above Dozerfleet Studios. This is also why the edits have been delayed for the release of the remake of 3-13. A pending remake of Volkonir 2008, of Volkonir Journals: Attempt #43, of the trailer to Volkonir 2008, and even a When Bikes Argue revamp have all been delayed. Clearing out the publishing house at Dozerfleet Labs has eclipsed all of this.
