I know this comes out of nowhere, and especially after saying just a couple of days before that support would continue, but I hate lying, and the one I was lying most of all then was myself, so I need to clear things before this gets harder to me.

Gentlemen, it is had been a pleasure delivering some quite enjoyed mods all over these years, but I'm officially announcing my modding retirement, effective today.

I'm sure some people will agree that personal life is well...personal and private (duh...) and I don't need to explain that side of me here or anywhere in general, but since it completely interfered for good my 'modder' side, I think it will not hurt anyone. It will help me release some steam I've been saving to myself and a selected group of people until now...

I've been dealing with severe mental issues for the last year and a half, I know it sounds like a trend nowadays, but I have been dealing with general issues for most of my live, but since the window of time, things got worse after I lost my job on a really traumatizing way for reasons I did not have any control over, and my family has been supporting me (emotionally mostly, thankfully) since. I have a wife and a little boy, and all of my focus is now on them, more than ever. First of all (kind of...) money is not an issue, again, thankfully, so please don't worry about us being able to sustain ourselves, not only it's not a real issue but I also don't want people feeling they might need to contribute one way or the other, I would feel really bad about that, the issue is just...me.

I tried to be the same, BeamNG-wise in this case since then, in fact, the Defender got released just a couple of months after losing my job, but I tried to self-deny the fact I'm no longer the same, I wanted to feel and live as I did, but I simply don't enjoy things the way I used to, and even firing up the game is getting harder for me, I still love it, but I can't enjoy it. And forcing fun is simply stupid. With modding, it's even worse, just the thought of all the road ahead, the support I would need to give older mods to keep them alive...the responsibility in short is too much for me. I said a couple of posts before that a hobby becoming a job, maybe not literally, but as a mindset, is dangerous, and in fact I was feeling exactly that for quite some time, I felt I tried to shallow more than I can chew, and I lost control over it, it's just way too much. I started this way of modding as a way to keep my mind distracted after all that happened to me, but it turned as a mind-clogger in the end, not the way I wanted things to go, but I feel I've lost control of certain things and I need to stop before things get worse.

I'm sorry for all the broken promises in the way, including finishing this mod or even ever finishing and the Renault Mégane Scénic, as stated, I choose mods based first on what I felt appealing, so I'll be the first to not seeing it done (the other paid version will never count for me at least) I might release the current version if you want so you guys can at least have it and if someone wants to finish it, or keep my previous mods alive, is welcomed to do so. (The beta tag has been dropped in all of them, repo and forums mods likewise)

I'll keep being around here of course, and hopefully after taking the modding backpack weight out, I might even go back to simple and calming screenshot posting, but this time I can say that unless take a turn (and what a turn they need to be...but I would also hate to lie saying never in vain) my modding carrer ends here. It simply not works anymore; my engine has stalled for good.

Thanks a lot for all your support, especially for those who helped me along the way improving and fixing the mods, since those wouldn't be even half as good without you, and of course all reviewers and people who made pics and videos of them, I always felt proud looking at these.

Respect, for actually taking up modding, it is hard to leave a passion in the dust. Thank you for all your mods.

I said a couple of posts before that a hobby becoming a job, maybe not literally, but as a mindset, is dangerous, and in fact I was feeling exactly that for quite some time, I felt I tried to shallow more than I can chew, and I lost control over it, it's just way too much. I started this way of modding as a way to keep my mind distracted after all that happened to me, but it turned as a mind-clogger in the end, not the way I wanted things to go, but I feel I've lost control of certain things and I need to stop before things get worse.

I'm sorry for all the broken promises in the way, including finishing this mod or even ever finishing and the Renault Mégane Scénic, as stated, I choose mods based first on what I felt appealing, so I'll be the first to not seeing it done (the other paid version will never count for me at least) I might release the current version if you want so you guys can at least have it and if someone wants to finish it, or keep my previous mods alive, is welcomed to do so. (The beta tag has been dropped in all of them, repo and forums mods likewise)

I'll keep being around here of course, and hopefully after taking the modding backpack weight out, I might even go back to simple and calming screenshot posting, but this time I can say that unless take a turn (and what a turn they need to be...but I would also hate to lie saying never in vain) my modding carrer ends here. It simply not works anymore; my engine has stalled for good.

Thanks a lot for all your support, especially for those who helped me along the way improving and fixing the mods, since those wouldn't be even half as good without you, and of course all reviewers and people who made pics and videos of them, I always felt proud looking at these.

Hey Jorge,

I know I speak for a lot of people when I say this but I'm just incredibly grateful to you for sharing your talents with us, creating some amazing content and not even charging for it. You certainly don't owe any impatient kids on here an explanation for not adding new stuff every other day...so thank-you.

I hope you can spend some quality time with your friends & family (sometimes talking problems through makes a world of difference) and that you feel better soon. Who knows, maybe one day modding can again be an enjoyable hobby, rather than a chore?

Wishing you and your family all the best,

Clive

I know this comes out of nowhere, and especially after saying just a couple of days before that support would continue, but I hate lying, and the one I was lying most of all then was myself, so I need to clear things before this gets harder to me.

Gentlemen, it is had been a pleasure delivering some quite enjoyed mods all over these years, but I'm officially announcing my modding retirement, effective today.

I'm sure some people will agree that personal life is well...personal and private (duh...) and I don't need to explain that side of me here or anywhere in general, but since it completely interfered for good my 'modder' side, I think it will not hurt anyone. It will help me release some steam I've been saving to myself and a selected group of people until now...

I've been dealing with severe mental issues for the last year and a half, I know it sounds like a trend nowadays, but I have been dealing with general issues for most of my live, but since the window of time, things got worse after I lost my job on a really traumatizing way for reasons I did not have any control over, and my family has been supporting me (emotionally mostly, thankfully) since. I have a wife and a little boy, and all of my focus is now on them, more than ever. First of all (kind of...) money is not an issue, again, thankfully, so please don't worry about us being able to sustain ourselves, not only it's not a real issue but I also don't want people feeling they might need to contribute one way or the other, I would feel really bad about that, the issue is just...me.

I tried to be the same, BeamNG-wise in this case since then, in fact, the Defender got released just a couple of months after losing my job, but I tried to self-deny the fact I'm no longer the same, I wanted to feel and live as I did, but I simply don't enjoy things the way I used to, and even firing up the game is getting harder for me, I still love it, but I can't enjoy it.

Here's the Scénic as promised, I hope it lands in good hands and I can see it finished, I think it deserves it.

Hey Jorge, I appreciate the fact that you mustered enough courage and willpower to announce your retirement from the modding scene within this community. Everything must come to an end eventually, and stepping away from making BeamNG mods is often inevitable for the majority of us. Sometimes, it's just time to move on with our lives and focus on what's important instead. However, doing so isn't that simple, and I can understand why.

In fact, to be completely honest, I have been burned out lately as well, due to the sheer amount of stress in my personal life. I also fear that by taking on the task of improving or reviving previously existing mods, I would be forced to maintain them for a very long time. What started out as a hobby to keep my emotional stability in check has ultimately ended up overwhelming my mental state, so I can sympathize with your current situation.

Apologies for my anecdote, but the point I'm trying to make is that not everything pertaining to BeamNG modding needs to be perfect. So what if we won't be getting the 2-door Defender 90 body style to complement the 4-door 110? Are we missing the Limited trim level that much on the 4Runner? Do we really need to have a 205 T16 tacked onto the garden variety French hatchback? At the very least, you did your best on those three vehicle mods, that's all it matters.

And looking back at when you first released the Defender mod about a year ago, I wished I wasn't that harsh and critical when giving feedback on the initial public beta, had I knew about your circumstances at the time. Coincidentally enough, I would later lend a hand into the mod, so I suppose that made up for my earlier behavior. I would also assist in the 4Runner several months after, and while I didn't take part in the 205 this time around, I have enjoyed it for what it's worth.

At the end of the day, you should do what's considered the right thing for yourself. From the Jurassic Park Roamer and the European License Plates Pack, to the real-world vehicle mods and everything in between, you have contributed a fair chunk of content to the game and its community. Thank you for being part of the forums for this long, and even if your retirement is indefinite, I am wishing you the very best

Hey, I kinda know what you are currently going through/went through. I remember having many mental issues myself. Focusing on modding was a way of escaping it. Must say it didn't work that well, modding spoils life in a way (I got a "bit" addicted and stuff). Currently I am trying to stop it with moderate success. Thankfully though I don't have as much problems as I used to have, but I am still woking on myself. Your post kind of remined me that modding may have some negative consequences for you and your life.
I saw the tremendous scope of work you've done over the past few years, it was reather enhoyable to be honest with you. I thus would like to simply thank you for it. Remember, your modding yourney may have ended but your legacy will never be forgotten.
I wish you a happy, lucky, modding-free life.

I'm sure some people will agree that personal life is well...personal and private (duh...) and I don't need to explain that side of me here or anywhere in general, but since it completely interfered for good my 'modder' side, I think it will not hurt anyone. It will help me release some steam I've been saving to myself and a selected group of people until now...

I've been dealing with severe mental issues for the last year and a half, I know it sounds like a trend nowadays, but I have been dealing with general issues for most of my live, but since the window of time, things got worse after I lost my job on a really traumatizing way for reasons I did not have any control over, and my family has been supporting me (emotionally mostly, thankfully) since. I have a wife and a little boy, and all of my focus is now on them, more than ever. First of all (kind of...) money is not an issue, again, thankfully, so please don't worry about us being able to sustain ourselves, not only it's not a real issue but I also don't want people feeling they might need to contribute one way or the other, I would feel really bad about that, the issue is just...me.

I tried to be the same, BeamNG-wise in this case since then, in fact, the Defender got released just a couple of months after losing my job, but I tried to self-deny the fact I'm no longer the same, I wanted to feel and live as I did, but I simply don't enjoy things the way I used to, and even firing up the game is getting harder for me, I still love it, but I can't enjoy it. And forcing fun is simply stupid. With modding, it's even worse, just the thought of all the road ahead, the support I would need to give older mods to keep them alive...the responsibility in short is too much for me. I said a couple of posts before that a hobby becoming a job, maybe not literally, but as a mindset, is dangerous, and in fact I was feeling exactly that for quite some time, I felt I tried to shallow more than I can chew, and I lost control over it, it's just way too much. I started this way of modding as a way to keep my mind distracted after all that happened to me, but it turned as a mind-clogger in the end, not the way I wanted things to go, but I feel I've lost control of certain things and I need to stop before things get worse.

I'm sorry for all the broken promises in the way, including finishing this mod or even ever finishing and the Renault Mégane Scénic, as stated, I choose mods based first on what I felt appealing, so I'll be the first to not seeing it done (the other paid version will never count for me at least) I might release the current version if you want so you guys can at least have it and if someone wants to finish it, or keep my previous mods alive, is welcomed to do so. (The beta tag has been dropped in all of them, repo and forums mods likewise)

I'll keep being around here of course, and hopefully after taking the modding backpack weight out, I might even go back to simple and calming screenshot posting, but this time I can say that unless take a turn (and what a turn they need to be...but I would also hate to lie saying never in vain) my modding carrer ends here. It simply not works anymore; my engine has stalled for good.

Thanks a lot for all your support, especially for those who helped me along the way improving and fixing the mods, since those wouldn't be even half as good without you, and of course all reviewers and people who made pics and videos of them, I always felt proud looking at these.
