Recent Creator News

Last updated: November 24

• Modder Victor Andrade has passed away of cancer, aged only 26. Victor was an early member of the SimRealist modding team, helping to start off many complex SimRealist mods; a creator of his own mods separately, the best-known being Direct Controls; and an independent game developer, including of the Mental Health Jam submission FlyLittleBird. May his memory be a blessing.

• MonoChaos will not be clearing or updating mods for quite a while due to a personal injury that's expected to be slow (and for sure full) to recover from. If you do have issues with any MonoChaos mods, please do report those here. Others will check on those reports and make sure Chaos knows for when they're able to mod again.
