A Very Truncated House Flipper 2 Collection

Originally, 13 projects were set to be included in an upcoming House Flipper 2 special compilation. Seven of them have been removed from that compilation:

House Main associated project
Pam Marcones Hut Extirpon 2
McArthur Residence Of Emeralds and Sapphires
The Triangulum The Battle for Gerosha
Dentz Homestead Sodality: Vindiation
Mindoche Residence The Trapezoid Kids
Teach an Dithrileigh Anarteq: Envoy to Lough Melvin
Swan Valley Home The Tale of Plum Bixie

The following remain on schedule for eventual production:

House Main associated project
Qaqqimik Illu Anarteq: Top of the World
Erin Flippo Residence Ciem: Inferno
Sault Ste Marie AirBnB Rental Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo
Hut of Kamohoalii Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary
Strainer Mobile Home The Horrorday Gang
Chawla Homestead Corando's "Don't Lose Hope"
Gold Bridge Truck Trailer Home Anarteq: Envoy to Lough Melvin

The seven remaining items are going to feature in a virtual tour book featuring screenshots from the game. Various complications made it difficult for Dozerfleet Labs to host files of the actual progress save files of houses. The seven deleted projects removed due to a combination of game limitations and real life schedule conflicts. No actual game files will be offered for download, though the seven homes will still feature.

Magic of Movies and Memes now has an IMDB page

You can check it out here.

In addition to this, the stuff pack now has its official handbook published, allowing downloaders a whole 311 pages worth of content to know what's included in the pack, and its significance!

With this upload finished, about all that remains to finish the project of Magic of Movies and Memes entirely is the following:

  • Cleaning up the wiki articles.
  • Cleaning up images and workspace offline.
  • Generating a trailer for YouTube.
  • Making the wiki article for the trailer.

When this work has commenced, the next project to gain major focus will be the official handbook for the Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo Story Pack for The Sims 4, along with creating a spin-off pack for The Sims 3 dubbed Anarteq: Top of the World. Completion of those works will be followed by the generation of handbooks for:

  • The Sims 4: Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Anarteq: Envoy to Lough Melvin Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Ciem: Inferno Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Ciem: Ash Cloud Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Ciem: Caldera Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Sodality: Adaptation and Determination Story Pack

With those handbooks made, the old blog posts set to be cleaned up afterward and the content converted to handbooks will include:

  • The Sims 4: Swappernetters: Frontliner Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Swappernetters: The Chrome Kite Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Swappernetters: Supporting Cast Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Swappernetters: Screwworms and Other Villains Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: Sodality: Instigation Story Pack
  • The Sims 4: The Horrorday Gang Story Pack

Adding The Sims 3: Anarteq: Top of the World Story Pack means that there will be a total of 17 Sims packs still hosted on DzMD. The InZOI character recipe books are also still pending, along with research into making some of the homes from The Gerosha Chronicles into mods for House Flipper 2.

Sims 4 Story Pack collections almost complete

Dozerfleet Labs has been working at a fever pace to finalize the last few packs for the DzMD Sims 4 collection, before moving on to House Flipper 2 mods. Most of the packs still need their official handbooks. However, the utter mess that is compiling the packs is almost at an end. As of 8:40 PM EDT on June 7th of 2024, a compilation was made of the Sodality: Adaptation and Determination Story Pack.

This is a follow-up to 2020's Sodality: Instigation Story Pack, and includes all major highlights of continuity from Adaptation, Determination, Augmentation, and Vindication. At the last minute, Victor Nanale of the Kerpher Gang and the Phaemer Village Peacekeepers were added - with some notes about Keet Kabo features that couldn't be adapted.

The final pack, set to be compiled around Monday the 10th or around Tuesday the 11th of June of 2024, is the Anarteq: Envoy to Lough Melvin Story Pack.

After this final pack is compiled, Dozerfleet will no longer focus on creating mods for Sims games, nor supporting them. The official handbooks missing for key existing packs will be written and published, so each pack will have its official handbook. Trailers on YouTube are being considered for Magic of Movies and Memes Stuff, Ciem: Inferno Story Pack, Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo Story Pack, Ciem: Ash Cloud Story Pack, Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary Story Pack, and one for the Swappernetters collection of packs.

With all handbooks finished at that point, the packs will get IMDB pages, if they don't already have them. Wiki articles will be updated as well. Once research is completed on House Flipper 2 mods, the Dozerfleet founder will retire from game modding.

The comics still pending to be made with The Sims 4 include Volkonir 2008, Blood Over Water, Sniperbadger: Fall of the Critter Resistance, Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana, and Sorbet. Path of the Ming-Cho aims to be AI-generated.

With all comics and other Sims pack content finished, use of Sims software will be relegated to last-minute character design drafting, to house floor plans, and to rendering concept art for actions scenes too difficult to generate with standard AI generators. Basic character art will be AI-generated, until real costumes and models can be selected to replace the AI models.

As often as possible, Sims floor plan imagery will be replaced with photographs and video, though this may be a slow process.

The main bookstore on the main blog also intends to reinstate some old projects, and bring new ones to the storefront.

A 90 Has No Secant re-release is in consideration, along with re-releases for the Stationery Voyagers pilot episode "Scalding Inquiries," and the minisodes "The Wages of Cheating Death," and "Ties That Confide" that were written before that series was canceled. Gored By Them Things could also benefit from a re-release, as could the 2007 version of Ciem with minor revisions. Official releases of the fanfics A Centipede Lost in the Spiderverse, A Centipede Returns to the Spiderverse, and A Centipede Once Again Saves the Spiderverse are also up for consideration.

The Corando's "Don't Lose Hope" remake from 2022 remains to be completed and added, but has not been abandoned. This will be included with the other Sims comics.

While the future of Cone's Poetry Tire Swing is debatable, Trisola Poetry is set to get a book compilation, with new artwork. The Gerosha Chronicles: Art of the Early Earths would seek to do justice to the artwork made for those versions of Gerosh continuity that didn't survive beyond 2012. Camelorum Adventures: A Concept Art Repository would do this for Dromedeverse art from the early period of Camelorum development. Dozerfleet Academics: A Compilation of Curated Projects would be a review of all surviving high school - through - SWOCC Studios internship work by the Dozerfleet founder of note to have survived to the present day.

The Games and Mods of Dozerfleet Machinomic Downloadables would celebrate and provide commentary on a walkthrough of all Dozerfleet mods of note from the early days of making Sims 2 mods until the completion of the final 16 Sims 4 packs, and any commentary possible on House Flipper 2 mod research.

Making of the Mackleyverse: What Almost Was would explore the complicated history of Mutt Mackley, and his shows that never happened.

For-profit versions of releases for Ciem: Inferno: The Grand Tour and A Very Anarteq Tour of the Soo are being pursued, as tie-ins for their respective novels in the works. Percolation: The Complete Encyclopedia of Crossover Gerosha and Dozerfleet Crossovers is also still being pursued for completion, to discuss the history of Dozerfleet with Marvel: Avengers Alliance, as well as other fanfics, and the development of mythos for the Percolation Warriors saga.

Not to be forgotten, the Every Ape and His Brother parody song lyric collection is set to wrap up with the completion of the final album: The Man From '84. All albums will get their own booklet releases.

Old Sims 4 mod content to be fused into a new stuff pack

The Sims 4: Magic of Movies and Memes Stuff is now currently in the works here at Dozerfleet Labs. It will take select material from the canceled Megaverse projects for Cherinob, Volkonir, and Camelorum Adventures, and combine them with the Movies, Games, and TV section currently on the Sims 4 DzMD page into one single pack massive compilation. This measure, when done, will serve to reduce overhead for the blog and for the wiki. Multiple pages will be able to be fused into a single download page, with a link to the new stuff pack and a link to its instruction manual.

This furthermore reduces the Sims development section of DzMD to otherwise only needing Sodality: Adaptation, a few new features patched to the Swappernetters Supporting Cast Story Pack, an Anarteq Pack series, and a Centipede and Fire Saga pack series. For a total of nine projects that will reduce overhead and wrap up all Sims DzMD file export production.

As stated, once these final nine projects are finished, there will be no new content for The Sims 4 being released by Dozerfleet Labs. The new manual-dependent formatting setup being employed by DzMD for its Sims 4 setup will then be applied retroactively to archival of all projects related to Sims 3, Sims 2, Sims Medieval, Spore, MakeHuman, and Universe Sandbox content.

When all these old games are finished having their pages reformatted and their packs defined, the only still-actively-supported game on DzMD will be House Flipper 2. All Sims-generated content after that point will consist of the machinomics for Dozerfleet Comics. Once those are done, Sims 4 and House Flipper 2 will be mostly reduced to a handful of concept art for action scenes and CAD software for building layouts for story blocking.

All future character screen art outside those functions is now being generated with AI. As often as possible, shots of interiors are being made with actual photographs.

Mothballing the Labs, Records, Comics, and Studios divisions in the future will finally allow Dozerfleet to raise its Literature division to the forefront, allowing for-profit books a chance for release.

Features in the new pack will likely include most if not all of the following:

Unfortunately, not all major locations can use House Flipper 2 as CAD software, due to current limitations that prevent more exotic locations or commercial buildings from being depicted. For the time being, any concept art for those locations used for Dozerfleet references will still be made with The Sims 4. Beyond the packs that are few that remain pending for release, however, no new locations are intended for distribution as playable lots in that game.

Outside of a handful of action shots that may require it, most new character art for the Dozerfleet Megaverse will no longer be depicted using Sims software.

The current official standard format is Wonder AI. The Comic Book filter for the Dromedeverse, Crossover Gerosha, and Percolation Warriors events, and the Cinematic filter for Cataclysmic Gerosha and the Eccentriaverse. The Watercolor filter is standard for making bases for poster art that would feature in posters on the pending shop on DeviantArt.

Especially lucky renders will be on occasion made with Krea AI, and most likely enhanced there as well.

Apart from a possible future in House Flipper 2, once the few remaining Sims 4 packs have been released, there won't be much new game content added to DzMD moving forward. The main focus of Dozerfleet Labs will be in its Software and Crafts section, focusing on interactivity and material manifestations of Dozerfleet mythology.
