Partnering with Sims 4 Downloads and other news

Networking

Dozerfleet Labs is currently in the process of trying to link with the official Sims 4 Downloads compilation directory site. This will improve exposure of DzMD to the greater Sims community, while also enriching it with giving players a chance to explore the possibilities with the stuff packs and story packs included.

Pack Wars

Meanwhile, release of the trailer for Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff came right on the heels of Maxis announcing that EA has ignored all polling data, and decided to mandate the next game pack be a Star Wars tie-in, partially to advertise the next Star Wars game by EA. Journey to Batuu will be downloaded by Dozerfleet Labs, but for the purpose of exploring possibilities with regards to a remake of Star Flops: Curse of the Medium Side as a free downloadable PDF Sims comic. It'd be about the same story; but polished up, and with better graphics. New materials could help with Phaemer Village Peacekeepers set design for concept art too, even though the PhVP borrow more inspiration from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Schedule for releases

The final story pack release for Sims 4 for 2020 will be The Horrorday Gang. Ten characters remain to be exported as Tray file collections, and then the entire set can be uploaded. The Centipede and Fire Saga and the Anarteq Story Saga downloads are being saved for next year, along with any other Gerosha packs. The Sims 3 story pack for Tales of Extirpon will be fixed next year as well.

After The Horrorday Gang Story Pack is complete, non-Sims items from Dozerfleet Labs will be restored online for download. Focus will then shift back to Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil. This will be followed by Blood Over Water being re-created as a webcomic. By December, hopefully, Ciem: Inferno can begin to be written as a novel. It will be set up for publishing before the end of 2021, and will set the stage for everything else in the Legacy volume.

3-13 editing will resume at some point, and the Star Flops remake will probably be made in January some time of 2021.

Also planned for webcomic releases in 2021: Volkonir 2008, Volkonir Journals: Attempt #43, and The Blue Face Film Strips. The original videos of these are, due to various complications, on legal lockdown, and cannot be released. So webcomic versions of them will replace them.

2021 also hopes to be the year that Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana is completed, as well as the completion of Ciem: Ash Cloud and Sniperbadger: Fall of the Critter Resistance. In 2022, Ciem: Caldera aims for completion, along with Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary.
