UPDATE - No Immediate Changes!
Added 2021-06-10 01:17:56 +0000 UTCUPDATE 06/28/21
For right now, I've decided to keep the current monthly payment system as-is. I won't be making any immediate changes to my Patreon account. At the end of the summer I'll reevaluate if I still need to make any changes. An alternative solution may be to take more breaks (thus more free months). This will allow me to catch up on producing videos when I get too busy.

Supporters, Enthusiasts, and Fanboys,
In 2020, I started posting my Sims 4 Machinimas. We all know what happened in 2020. COVID happened. I was laid off from my job, I was on unemployment for a while, then I slowly went back into the freelance market. I had a lot of free time in lockdown, and so I put my creative energies to work making these videos.
I created this Patreon account with no expectation of making a living at this. If it supplemented my paycheck that would be great. However, the $$ I earn here is in no way proportional to the amount of time I put into these videos. I make them because I enjoy telling these stories. Yet I’ve always said I would stop making them if I got too busy or too bored, if it starts to feel like work.
It’s now Summer 2021 and I'm fully self-employed and busier than ever. I no longer have as much free time to create the same amount of content each month. I’m still planning to make more videos but at a slower pace, as my free time allows.
There are basically 3 options:
- I can remove my Patreon account.
- You can continue to support me without monthly content expectations.
- I can move to a Pay-Per-Post format.
My preference would be a Pay-Per-Post format, however I want to give you guys an opportunity to voice an opinion.
Would you rather:
