Hel Studio is closing down
Added 2022-01-01 14:01:02 +0000 UTCHello everyone, I hope you are all well.💖
I have taken the decision to close my patreon down for good. In the last couple of months my health has not been the greatest, and have been dealing with a lot of pain, it has taken a lot of my focus away from creating as I constantly have to deal with it.
Some of you already know that I only opened a patreon page to gather funds for a treatment for my illness, and while that helped a lot, the stress in my personal has aggravated a lot of the things that came with the illness that I currently suffer from as well as the pressure to deliver each week here on patreon (though that is a pressure I put on myself) and the stress from all the rampant theft in the sims community do not help either .
Though I would have liked to keep going I really think I need to turn around to take care of myself now, because in the end no amount of money will ever pay for my peace of mind and well being entirely, - especially when something is constantly causing stress and anxiety.
Along with that my interest in creating for the public has really declined significantly, I am having a really hard time finding inspiration to create lately, for the reasons I have mentioned above and many others I've mentioned before that are not even worth mentioning, so it has become a struggle and burdensome.
I love 3d modelling and I would like to explore other areas of the 3d modelling aspect and keep developing my skill, just not for the purpose of solely creating for sims.
I will release some of the sets that I meant to release before for January, and will be closing my patreon after.
The month of January will be covered, and sets will be released in time for everyone to download so please make sure to not miss downloading the cc as I will no longer provide links after my page is closed.
I am currently working on a collaboration set with my dear friend Simspirationbuilds, and the set will be released on her patreon page, I do not have an ETA for when the set will be released but be sure to keep an eye out if you are interested in getting the set, and while you are at that you can also support my lovely friend, she makes amazing builds and creates beautiful content as well ☺️
The billing for the month of February will be paused so you will have till February 15th to download everything you need from the January posts, however, and I stress this, I will NOT be providing links to old sets, so please do NOT ask.
I will not be answering questions nor asks anywhere else once my patreon page closes down, I am walking away from creating for the public completely and for good.
----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you to the amazing, sweet, and kind people who have been supporting me the entire time and from the start and have always been there to continue to support my creative journey in the sims community, especially my friends who did not have to support me monetarily but they still did, I love you all.
I have really appreciated every comment, every private message with kind words, every message wishing me well, and everyone showcasing my content beautifully in their builds as well - I am very grateful that you have all considered taking the time and your money as well to support what I created, it has meant the world to me. Making content and seeing people happy using it always made my day and was always the best part of creating cc.
I wish you all the best in the world, and I hope the new year brings all of you every single thing you have wished to have in your life.
All the love in the world, thank you all again so much. Take care 💖

We adore you and your transparency, you did not have to share such personal things, but it makes you more wonderful because you are human. Take care, I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say we will always be here for you if you decide sometime in the future to return. <3

2022-01-05 12:40:19 +0000 UTCThats a very sad post to read for everyone I guess. Eveyone will miss amazing Hel-Studio creations of course but beyond that she is an amazing person with a generous heart. She helped so many people with creating. We always bothered her with so many questions and help demands but she always did everything to help and teach others. Cant tell how I appreciate everything. I wish you an amazing life with your loved ones. Do what makes you happy. I think you know that if you ever come back you will be welcomed with excitement ♥♥♥ Love you so much ♥♥♥

2022-01-04 21:46:51 +0000 UTCThank you so much for the wonderful sets you have created. They are a joy to have in my game. I will always remember you fondly. Please look after yourself, rest, recover. I feel for you as I live with chronic pain from a car accident. I hope you can find a way to lessen your pain and improve over all. Thank you
Ree Barkla
2022-01-04 18:10:18 +0000 UTCYou have truly made your mark on the sims community. Your creations will always be in a class of their own... unmatched talent. I will miss your work, but I am far more concerned about your health (physical, mental, and emotional!) I pray you are able to start feeling less stress, more healthy, more free, and more HAPPY. I am so grateful for what you have provided for sims. You deserve all the happiness, health, peace, compensation, credit, and love the world has to offer you. Thank you again, your impact on the game will never fade. 🤍

2022-01-04 06:23:04 +0000 UTCI love your creations, but your health is the more important. Hope you heal and can get back to creating again one day! xx

2022-01-04 05:54:37 +0000 UTCSelf-care should always be your top.1 priority. I honestly hope that, at the very least, you received the financial help you needed through all of this. You're an amazing artist and I'm 4ever grateful to have been part of your faithful patreons. Take care Hel <3 :)

2022-01-03 12:37:15 +0000 UTCCan you please put everything you've ever made into a dropbox/google drive so we can all download all your content and still get to use your beautiful content? xx
Natasha Amore
2022-01-03 09:32:51 +0000 UTCI have to admit, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Sims 5...but I can't even envision a Sims 5 without your custom content...what would be the point? So, it looks like I'll be continuing to use Sims 4 indefinitely because at least I have your cc for my simmies. So many brilliant and talented cc creators have said adieu, and now it's your turn. I don't like it, but I understand and support your decision. You will be so very missed! Take care of yourself.

2022-01-03 03:49:57 +0000 UTCNothing Sim related has ever made me actually cry, until now. I am gutted, not only for the fact that you are closing down, but this whole time you have still been in pain. I understand your choice to totally walk away, heaven knows I have wanted to many times........caring for 2 small grand children can be very tiring! It's creators like you that lift my life, I will miss you so much and I will always treasure all your wonder creations. Take care Lovely, sending you all the very best, I will never forget you.........Lots of love and (((HUGS))) Lorry

2022-01-02 19:21:42 +0000 UTCWhat can I say that others haven’t already? I knew this day was coming, and I’m saddened that it has now arrived. Therefore, I will choose to celebrate your decision, knowing that it is for the best, for you and your family. I celebrate that you have honed your skill to the highest quality, that each creation has is your love, sweat and maybe a few tears embedded. That the attention to details, no matter how small, receives your full effort. That your design esthetic is sublime and quintessentially you. Lastly, I celebrate that you chose to share you talent and love of 3D artistry with us. You will forever, and always be, The Queen❣️👑❣️

2022-01-02 15:11:56 +0000 UTCI’m sooo sorry to see that you’re leaving us…but your health(Mental,Emotional &Physical) is what’s most important. I’m glad that I became aware of your work from another CC creator that I subscribe too…you will be definitely missed. Your CC is and always will be astonishing, beautiful and in a league of its own. Just know that you are appreciated for all of your efforts and your presence will be missed but your CC will live on through those of us who have it!!!

2022-01-02 11:19:40 +0000 UTCI am sad to see you go, but you need to look after yourself, to be honest I was actually thinking of finishing with patreon, not because of content or anything like that, it's due to hardly playing the game, just been all bed and work lol, I wish you all the best sweetheart I am always about if you need to chat Sis xx

2022-01-01 22:08:11 +0000 UTCOof, this actually hurts to read! I would never have imagined, that I would feel a loss to anything related to sims, but you leaving this community is a true loss for us! Please take that as a huge compliment! I hadn’t played sims for 6 years when I found you, and thanks to your fantastic creations I started to fall in love building again! I don’t use sims to play storylines. I ONLY play for the building part, and your cc has been a massive part of those builds! I will miss the heck out of, not only your CC, but also YOU as a person. I might not know you personally or even know how you look - but I know you are a fantastic person from how you portray yourself, how you give - and how you write back to us. So yes! You will be missed for far more than your fantastic 3D skills. So dear Hel studios. Thank you for everything you have done for us! From the bottom of my heart, I wish you only good health and all the very best in your life. I hope your health will be better, now you take the well deserved rest! Your health is without a doubt the most important thing, so take care dear Hel! And once more, thank you!!❤️❤️❤️
Barbara
2022-01-01 21:17:49 +0000 UTCI will be very sad to see you go. I have loved every piece you have created for a long time and you have inspired me in so many ways - not just your talent, but who you are as a person. I think its a brave decision to change your life and put yourself first - if we dont, our wellbeing suffers and we lose the joy and happiness in life. I wish you well, in whatever you choose to do and I hope life brings you some time for rest, stillness and a great deal of joy ♥♥♥

2022-01-01 21:01:55 +0000 UTCThis is a heartbreaking update but it has been a pleasure to support you for the last year. You are my favorite creator and while I love your cc, you are irreplaceable and should always prioritize your own health. May those who've contributed to this decision feel deep shame and may you find the peace + wellness you so righteously deserve. We love you!

And on a clear night... a shooting star comes by, and [I] get a little thrill, and [I] make a little wish. [I] need both types of stars, the shooting and the constant stars. The heavens include them all." James Belushi You, my friend, are both and always will be! 💕✨🌠✨💕

You are a very talented person. The year of the tiger is a good year, the tiger is a noble and intelligent animal, you will be fine. We all support you, the most important thing is not to lose heart and everything will be fine. I will be waiting for your return)

2022-01-01 17:55:45 +0000 UTCI'm so very sad to see this post from you! I'm even sadder to think what must be going on in your personal life that you are struggling and in pain dealing with! More than anything I wish you good health and happiness in your life, and if stepping away will give you that then I welcome it completely! You've taken needed breaks and I've loved that for you! But there comes a time where we need to evaluate ourselves and pat ourselves on the back for giving our whole effort and knowing when to protect our peace and rest. I do feel as though Patreon burns so many creators out! Who echo very similar things about deadlines and such and I wish it were not so burdensome in this way! However losing a passion and wanting to share publicly I can understand completely!! I hope whatever ails you can come to pass dear, and you can live your life without much worry and pain. As someone who also suffers from illnesses it truly can wreck your life where your quality of life is truly abysmal! You will be missed by many especially myself!!!! Sending you much love and light your way <3

2022-01-01 17:03:48 +0000 UTCAll the best wishes for your physical and mental health! Thank you for your outstandig work, you will be dearly missed. I hope that you will soon feel better when the pressure is gone, mental health is so much more important and I hope that you will (re)find a lot of joy in 3d modelling without feeling the need to provide, but just do it for yourself. Take care of yourself, I hope that 2022 brings you the peace of mind that you long for.

But I do want to take the chance and thank you for sharing your talent and skill with the rest of us. You have been without doubt my favorite creator. If it's possible to anyway update your followers here with the new ventures you'll take with your 3D modelling, I would surely keep my eye on your work. Thank you for being so open in this message. This level of vulnerability really touched me right now. Lots of love!
