"Starting to veer towards"? You mean taking a break from trying to squash every bug imaginable? They have literally been more responsive than any other mod author I've seen and very receptive to ideas on how to fix bugs. They've pushed out so many bug fixes and reverted things to work more like vanilla plenty.
Also, can you define "a number of bugs"? How many? What are they? Have you reported them? Is it just single player or multiplayer? My gf and I both play in a multiplayer game with all that PolyamorySweet has to offer and we've only encountered a couple bugs (literally 2) that are so easy to work around until they, aka ApryllForever, takes the time to address.
When you consider how many weeks, not months, weeks, it's been since 1.6's release and Free Love not being viable anymore, I'm surprised that they took the time to:
- Update Free Love to even work with 1.6
- Package all of the "constituent mods" into one neat package so we don't need to look for and/or wait for multiple authors to update the individual parts
- Be super response - and I mean replying to nearly every single post. In fact I don't know of a post they hasn't replied to at this point. And she's got a job outside of modding... weird, it's it?
- Address any and all bugs and potential "unintended features". This includes implementing something she thought was better for compatibility before figuring out how to make it work the vanilla way and reverting it back (and then making it configurable).
- Just now, a month after 1.6 released, start adding any actual "new" stuff (like the new Mermaid Shop).
Heaven forbid that a mod author be allowed to take a break from trying to fix every bug and read
every single post to do something they have probably had in their mind for awhile (in this case, making it easier to obtain any of the date/marriage/roommate items in one place and without the need for special conditions, like rain on the beach on a non-festival day). The only other "new feature" they added is adding a new flower that you can give your spouse to set which spouse is your main.
Not that I'm trying to be confrontational, but it's so annoying to see people make crude, no-evidence assumptions about what a mod/person is or is not doing. 1.6 released on March 19th. Today, April 19th, is literally the 1 month mark of its release.
Besides... what's wrong with a mod author wanting to add some content in between bug fixes? Might it cause even more bugs? Maybe. But wouldn't adding new mods also make it possible to cause more bugs? Also maybe. So no matter what, there's a chance for bugs and the need for more bug fixes.
If you have a suggestion for what you'd like Apryll to work on for PolyamorySweet (like if there's a really annoying/game-breaking bug you'd like her to address), then post a comment in the
Posts section like the rest of us. Or, better, post a Bug in the
Bugs section. They literally reply same day, most days. What more could you ask for?
And the best part - SDV is playable without Wedding Tweaks or anything. And you only have to get married to each character once. Then it doesn't matter. So even if anyone fixes Wedding Tweaks, you'll never notice unless you make a whole new save just to have that experience.
Lastly - it's called patience. Just because someone has decided to implement something new for one update instead of doing some bug fixes doesn't mean they are "[veering] towards new content". Dabbling, MAYBE.
