My wife is very concerned about her brother. He's had some severe lapses recently, has quit his job, and had made some statements that suggest unrealistic delusions about what he is going to do next and paranoia.

We know he was previously diagnosed with "delusion disorder", but schizophrenia exists in other family members and we're concerned about what we're seeing here could be the beginnings of it.

This is compounded by the fact that my BIL is a legal adult, lives multiple states away, and has no family nearby (we also cannot rely on parents as they are manipulative and abusive). People who call for wellness checks on him become "the enemy" and he stops responding to any phone calls or attempts to reach out to him, so my wife is being very careful not to challenge or upset him too much during calls so she can stay in contact with him.

We're just not sure what we can even do this situation, or how to get him to see that he needs help. He has no support network, no income, and is making increasingly poor financial decisions we worry are going to put him out on the street. He desperately needs to be evaluated and treated by professional, but if we can't guide him toward this we don't know just what has to happen before it can be compelled by the state.

I have gotten an indoor treadmill and have been walking on it with socks. No complaints about the treadmill, but using it without the support of shoes is kind of hard on my feet after 20 minutes (i'm pretty flatfooted). I'm wondering if there are kind of indoor footwear options like socks with soles or anything that give a lot of good arch support?

One thing I have to specify is that it cannot be a shoe, by spouse will absolutely not allow it inside a house. An indoor-only shoe might be fine I guess, but I'm looking for something more like a shoe-like sock because I figure it will be less expensive.

I have a shortcut for 7th Heaven in my steam library that automatically launches it and FF7. However, mods are no longer being applied when I do this. Here is how it is set up in Steam:

Play with mods is the default option. Opening 7th Heaven manually and starting does still apply mods, but not when launched through Steam. This seemed to start happening after I updated 7th Heaven, wondering if anyone knows more and how to fix.
