Well, my relation is simply that I've been asked by pervy to keep an eye out on the Thread here, in order to answer the questions that pop up and occasionally relay information on developments from the mod over to here. This brings me nicely to that same relaying of information:
It had quieted down a bit - which is also why I haven't been showing up as often as I should've done - but things are seemingly picking up again. The git they use has seen quite a bit of movement but since I'm not part of any team and just here to deliver information, all I have is what basically amounts to an onlooker's perspective. I actually have to ask Pervy about that specifically and see where the team stands.
Now, onto that Tinymod you mentioned. TinyManhood was the one who decided to make a "minimalist port" of the Expanded Mod to the newest vanilla version available, and "minimalist" fits the bill nicely, as it had features missing that were existing in prior versions of the Expanded Mod, but it had a nice expansion on clothing pieces to deliver. If memory serves right, the initial idea behind it was to expand on that small port and keep that updated, while in the meantime the guys actively doing work on the big thing can concentrate on that more or less exclusively. I think Tiny was however getting quite busy with real life instead and that idea had to then again be dropped - real life obligations seems to be the big bundle of issues when it comes to modding this game apparently, as has been seen with other projects being picked up and then dropped.
