An additional note on the stuff I already posted (see this post if you missed it):

I’ve taken as close a look as I can at what is coming in the new pack, and I’m afraid I have bad news about Adventures with Jaz. Due to the (in my opinion) MAJOR changes to the way storytelling is going to work in the new update and pack, I’ve done a lot of thinking, and I’m going to have to put Jaz on a more lengthy hiatus. To keep the stress on me as low as I possibly can, I will need more time to “fix” the file after all the new compatibility stuff comes out. Basically, I need to be VERY sure that the new update doesn’t break all the personalities and storylines that I have going in Jaz’s save – and … to do that, I need to manually set preferences and compatibilities for EVERY. SINGLE. STORY-RELATED. SIM. in the entire file. Which amounts to about 170 sims. (172 plus any yet-to be-born-babies I don’t know about or minus some folk who left town – and yes, I literally counted each of them…) To keep the stress on me to a manageable level, I will keep Jaz off the publish docket until the first “posting rotation” is over – which is five weeks’ time, and instead of taking time out of my day to write the story, I’ll be working on the file & or the spreadsheet that needs to be completely re-worked… Expect to see Jaz back in posting action around the end of April. I’m very sorry for those (including me) who love reading about Jaz.. but to be absolutely sure this update doesn’t break my favorite save, I’m going to have to be SUPER careful with the post-update fixes.

As for the other saves? — All should be in the planned five-week rotation (four weeks of posting, one of break and or catch up time) except for the above-mentioned Adventures with Jaz. None of my other files have such an extensive save-file-wide storyline and personalities, and will take only some minor set up and fixing to continue playing. The rotation is planned to start on the 19th of March, and I think I have enough in the way of contingencies for mod breakage from the new patch and pack that it should be able to go on time without any issues.
