Dozerfleet is inching ever closer to the ending of an era, and the start of another one. Once the machinomics are finished, only some concept art panels and house plans will still require The Sims, any version of it, to remain a part of the operation. Once House Flipper 2 exploration is finished, the Dozerfleet founder will step down as the main mod creator at DzMD. Those wishing to operate through the brand for the brand may contact him to do so. Other games with Dozerfleet-related mods are possible this way, but the founder will not be creating for more game titles personally.
But before those final House Flipper 2 mods can be explored, let alone published, the era of Sims 4 modding must come to a close. This will usher in the final comics, which will then usher in the for-profit books.
To that end, the packs for The Sims 4 must be finalized, all 16 of them. With some reformatting touches, Into the Future Conversions and Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff were finalized in early 2024. The Horrorday Gang Story Pack and Sodality: Instigation Story Pack are getting add-on content before being finalized. The Swappernetters Story Pack Series is also getting a few add-ons of new material.
Otherwise, 2024 saw the compilation of Magic of Movies and Memes, with a pending official handbook. This is the final full-blown stuff pack by Dozerfleet Labs via DzMD for The Sims 4. Ciem: Inferno and Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo received completed compilations of their story packs, with the handbooks pending. On May 25th, Ciem: Ash Cloud also got a story pack tie-in compiled, also on a waiting list for an official handbook.
To complete the compilations and make the artwork, the following still need to be created:
- Ciem: Caldera Story Pack
- Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary Story Pack
- Anarteq: Envoy to Lough Melvin Story Pack
- Sodality: Adaptation and Determination Story Pack
Once those four are done being compiled, no new Sims 4 mods will be created for dowload as part of a pack set via DzMD. Instead, the "Holding Bay for Old Tray" folder will get emptied into the main Tray folder, to restore the in-game library. The game will be used for artwork generation almost exclusively from that point onward, until it is no longer needed for that purpose. This comes with many benefits, the most obvious of which being that folders no longer have to be screened for third party content.
