Private Practice Update and SNB Status

Happy Friday Eve!

Just giving you a heads up that we are sending out a Patron-Only update to Private Practice 0.6 tomorrow. Please see the change-log below of what is included. It is basically a bug squashing update but requires testing before the Public is given access to it. Being as this is NOT technically a feature update, both Visionaries and Beta-Testers will receive this version which involves a charge post to do so (Public Release: 9/21/18). This might be the last update this year since I have two other big mods planned after SNB.

 0.6.5 Changelog (The Vampire Update): 

• Vampires are now affected by hydration in the same way as non-vampires. They will now want to drink water or a bar drink occasionally, and doing so will satisfy their desire to drink. Vampires will now be able to be affected by low blood pressure due to dehydration, and they will be able to address it by drinking water or a bar drink. 
• The above change also fixes a bug in the un-modded game where vampires could get locked at low hydration and constantly want to make bar drink after bar drink, unable to ever quench their thirst, in an ironic mockery of the vampire condition. 
• Low vampire energy in vampires is now a factor for increased risk of high blood pressure. 
• Reading online medical journals for the daily task in the medical resident career branch now takes 1 hour to complete, down from 2 hours. (So you can at least get a small breather when you are at the Resident level LOL)

In regards to SNB, due to scheduling with our Mod Developer we had to push the Alpha release to around September 21st. Below is a list of what we would like to accomplish with this release. I will request sneak peeks as well (hopefully weekly) of what has been accomplished to keep you up to date. Truly sorry for the delay! I was so excited to bring this back to you tomorrow but things can come up.

SNB 2.0 Slotted Feature List:

• SNB Checking Account
• Transferring between SNB Account and Household Account
• Direct Deposit (the ability to set up auto deposits of paychecks to a Sim's SNB Account) and/or SimoleoGram (the ability to send money between Sims)

Lastly, I plan on submitting my Board Notes to the Visionary tier tomorrow or Saturday to give a summary of all that took place this month and what we anticipate. In addition, everyone should expect a summary post of the SNB poll results and how we plan on tackling those features/updates.

Hope everyone has a HAPPY, HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

Much Love,

Nichole
