Is it ever going to get additional features or are they just done with it? The request forums seem completely ignored.

It is been 6 years of continuous free support of highly advanced program by only 2 people who have real life full time jobs. If they have free time to work on something they will. There is no team of 10 developers that would be needed to fulfill all requests.

That does not address my question at all. There haven't been any real major new tools added in quite some time, and again, the request forums seem completely ignored. The feature request thread has 3 pages worth of people asking for CC sorting tools, going back over 3 years. sims4studio.com/thread/2421/custom-content-management-feature-listNot a single response from anyone involved. Even just a "No, we're not going to do this" would be preferable to 3 years of people asking for it and being totally ignored, yes?

As I said earlier there are only 2 people with full time jobs and lives who have limited time for the program and forum.

It can be very frustrating to sometimes wait for updates to mods , especially when they are as important of a needed feature within the community. But she is answering your question, it's just unfortunately not what you wanted to hear. They aren't required to update us on things they are doing and to be frank, with fewer people working it would actually be more time consuming trying to say yes or no to things they might not have a definitive answer for at the time so it's easier and less time consuming and less confusing to leave requests "open" and "up in the air" so when the time comes to update the program, they can go back to those requests and fine-tune whats doable for them and what isn't without disappointing people or not delivering something they said they could. On the upshot, they might be able to do something they didn't plan and can add that without any pressure. At least this is my take on why because it certainly boils down to this, to me, on the logical approach, at least. They never charge anybody for the work that goes into sims 4 studio and without it many cc creators would be lost. A lot of modders and cc makers wind up leaving the community because the community can't seem to grasp that when a hobby becomes a demanded chore and stops being fun for the creator, it starts with realizing people don't really care about the work and time involved in keeping up with a community this large or a mod this heavy. Unlike EA, who has to listen to the community tell them how to do their job ( even if EA doesn't necessarily listen, they still have to politely endure the communities hostility and pointed accusations of not caring about the communities needs), people who do this in their free time owe the community nothing the way people feel EA owes us after paying them what we do. S4S relies on donations for their support but has never forced us to pay them for this program in spite of it being an extremely important program in the sims community. Every update the program has had usually includes previous requests when it's been doable. Go back through previous updates and compare requests via updates and you will likely see that to be true yourself. I'm sure your comment wasn't meant in any kind of negative way, and my responce isn't meant to be taken negatively either but as informative.

As I said earlier there are only 2 people with full time jobs and lives who have limited time for the program and forum. I am not asking how many people work on the program, I am asking if the program is still getting major feature updates and/or if these requests spanning years of time are ever going to be looked into. "Only two people work on it" does not answer either of those questions.

To answer your question: no one is obligated to work on requests. And if it's not clear that there is not enough people to fulfill all requests. And clearly your questions sound like demand including your previous tone in the messages. Yes, I scrolled through your feed.
