👀📱 Plumfruit ✦ Exclusive ✦ Sneak Peek + Luminova UPDATE!

Hey friends,

Today I have some member exclusive  content for you! 🥳

First, I'd like to thank you again for supporting my work by being one of my Patreon members, I'm so grateful to have such an amazing and caring community! I have tons of new content coming your way in 2025, and you all deserve it!!! Starting very soon with a Luminova update and a Plumfruit revival!

--------------------

Luminova Update with ✦ NEW FEATURES ✦

First, I'm happy to announce that I will be releasing a big update for Luminova this week! This update (v1.5) will bring bug fixes, improvements, and NEW FEATURES! 

The Smart Fridge is getting a brand new menu, the Smart TV is getting new apps, and your pets will no longer stretch when there's an Air Purifier in the room (phew!). There are other improvements too! Let's get into it!

New Smart Fridge Features!

The Luminova Smart Fridge now features a brand new redesigned menu, with interactions neatly sorted and categorized, making it easier to find what you need. The overhauled categories include improvements such as all cooking interactions being reorganized into a new main category, along with several other enhancements. I even added a Drinks menu, which is not in the base game. 😊

 This is something I originally wanted to include, but I did not have enough time before Luminova’s release, so here it is now!!!

New SmartTV Features!

The Luminova SmartTV will also feature a brand new redesigned menu, with interactions (the game's channels and movies) sorted and categorized with new SmartTV Apps! Your sims now can watch the kids network on Simsey+, a mysterious movie on Simflix, and all your favourite channels on PlumTV+ for example! There's also a new Fitness+ app for your workouts!

The Smart TV is also getting visual improvements with a brighter screen and new wallpapers/screensavers!

The Simsey+ App features movies, shows, and channels that you could find on its real-life equivalent! 🐭🏰✨

(some of these are only available with additional Sims 4 packs, but I made sure that base game players have at least 3 items to watch for each app!) 📺

New Smart Curtain Wall Height!

I am adding the Medium Wall Height option to the smart curtains (both fabric and wall-integrated). Even though the animation is not as smooth as it is for the small height, it works! Yay! 🎉

More improvements and bug fixes!

There are more improvements and bug fixes coming, especially for the bug where pets stretched weirdly when the Smart Air Purifier was in the room!

They were using the human animation for “wow, it smells good here!”, but it was clearly not compatible with their anatomy… and honestly, it looked kind of terrifying ngl... Anyways, I said no more, and it is now FIXED! ✅

Other improvements include: redesigned icons for the smart clock, improved fridge texture and shading, adding a feature to turn ON/OFF the devices' lights, improved spanish translation (by RoshySims🇪🇸, thank you!!🙏) and fixing the backlight's code.

-------------------

Plumfruit is getting a fresh start!

I announced the other day that I am working on bringing back Plumfruit, and I am starting FROM SCRATCH!

Yes, Plumfruit is getting a fresh start with a completely new standalone mod called Plumfruit Essentials - which is (kind of) a remake of my original Plumfruit Lite mod kit! This means it features only newly designed devices, which includes:

And here's a ✦ Member Exclusive  sneak peek!!!

Please do not share this online, I'm keeping this secret until release day! Also, this is a work-in-progress, so things might change!😌

When the devices are not in use, you can chose for them to have either a beautiful wallpaper/screensaver or have the device off with a black screen (just like the Luminova Smart TV)

Here's a 360° look at the new Plumfruit computer: the iPlum! This computer will feature revamped app categories with freshly designed icons, just like the Luminova smart devices! (Work-in-progress)

And here is a first look at the brand new PlumPhone! It's a phone replacement that has an animated screen! You can see the new redesigned app icons that are coming with this mod!

What to expect from Plumfruit Essentials?

As explained earlier, this upcoming Plumfruit Essentials mod kit will feature new devices based on some of the iconic Plumfruit products that were included in my Plumfruit (Lite) mod, with no/very simple code and features!

This means that the Simstagram App, the Luv2Meet App, the complete custom Phone UI, and some other Plumfruit features and items that you might have known in my original mod pack, will not be included in this release!

I'm going back from scratch with the Plumfruit brand, that's why I'm creating the Plumfruit Collection - a collection of mods and mod kits that explore the brand's universe with new products, phone apps, UI elements, and more...!

With the Plumfruit Collection, I will be exploring Plumfruit's universe more in depth than ever before, with frequent new releases and updates! All of this will be completely standalone and independant from my original Plumfruit mod pack.

Plumfruit Essentials will be announced and released soon, publicly and free for all!

What would you like to see next in the Plumfruit Collection?

So, what Plumfruit mods or mod kits would you like to see the most after this first release? Some ideas include:

Or maybe something else... If you have some more ideas, let me know in the comments down below!

(also please note that the above are just ideas for now!!! I'm not sure if I will work on any - or all of them, I'm just giving you an idea of what the Plumfruit Collection might become in the future!😌) 

----------------------

That's it for today friends!

I'm so excited about the upcoming releases and what's coming after that, but oh my gosh, I have so much work ahead!!!

I am still working on the World Edit, Brookheights, and Farmland updates, which are my biggest mod packs... These updates should hopefully be released during the first half of 2025, just to give you a heads up! Thank you for patience while I work on them. And stay tuned!

Alright thanks for reading! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! See you very soon for the Luminova 1.5 update!

xoxo

Arnie 💜

Comments

im itching checking ur page for an update on the mod LOL

Lexi

Bonjour. Avez-vous une date de sortie pour le mod plumfruit. Nous l'avions testé mais il été déjà cassé. Le miroirs fera-t-il sont retour .merci bonne journée.☺️

Harcan Anto

When does it release

Jazzy

I love that idea! When I play with electronics Im usually playing with a family that has a sim thats getting ready to start college. I always go down to the retail lots and have a 'school shopping' experience and what do new students usually need? New tech/phone/ipad/laptop etc

Dace Cross

Potentially. Id say yes delete it when the time comes, if that mod also has a UI change, like if the mod can change the background image on the phone. I believe Arnies will change the in game look of the phone and has new wallpapers. Lmk if you get a different answer please!

Dace Cross

should i delete my phone replacement already in game before downloading?

Lexi

Would it be too much to ask for adding a tall wall and 1x1 update for the curtains to match in Luminova please? I'm making all my penthouses and fancy apartments be on the smart luminova system but my penthouses full bay windows don't have full length options unfortunately. Anyway, love everything you do and joined the membership to support you <3 your work is really high quality and i'm so excited to see anything you make. (*cough* more lights for cozy/lux sets after plumfruit update *cough*)

Kitta

I really REALLY want Simstagram to make a comeback. Please!! <3

Holly

Hi Arnie, I absolutely love your mods. I wish I knew how to do this because I could just alter my game however, with the new Luminova brand, is it possible to create an option in the near future that disable kids' phones or disable phones until you buy a phone for the active household or children for realism. Like you actually have to order the phones for your kids or household before they can use any phone features. I love that kids have cellphones but I grew up in the era where you had to beg for a phone before getting one as a kid. lol

jasmine

I can’t wait I’m so excited for this to be in my gameplay

K-untyKnuckle-69

Omg the smart mirror 😫 I currently still have it in my game, it looks great but it’s not selectable, it’s permanently broken (sparks flying out of it like a broken electronic) and it causes an error with the better exceptions mod but it fits the aesthetic with all the new stuff lol so I just deal with it

Heather

I’m not sure if you’ve found it yet, but you can go to the post before this one, and it’s there 💕

Heather

It’s possible that it won’t come at all, but if he decides to do it then he’ll be remaking it from scratch 💕

Heather

salut nous pareil. Je croie que on a payé que pour la preview alors que luminova et gratuit plumfruit c'est prochainement :( Mais ça va ce créateur le mérite ;)

Harcan Anto

woow ! cant wait !

Anette Kvammen

I truly cant wait! But did I understand this right. The Simstagram mod will return, but not with this release? Or will it not come at all?

Jasmina

oh man i was wondering what was happening to my sims cats haha it was a bit terrifying lmao

Amanda P

Yes it didn’t work idk why?

Lily Lackey

where the link and the early release when i go into buy mode I look up the items and nothing shows

ChicagoMike8

wheres the link?

Talaya Gales

Been waiting for this. I didn't get to try it the first time so I'm happy to see it back!

A.E Romst

Right! I always need a mod to make things exciting again. EA versions are lackluster imo

Dace Cross

So you downloaded and extracted the Luminova file and put it in your Mods folder? You made sure mods are active in your game? and it still doesnt show? (sometimes you will have to search for the items in build/buy) I will help you troubleshoot further if you need ok?

Dace Cross

Exciting to see the "PlumPhone Pro Mod" especially for the part of the Simstagram as I do not find Ea version that interesting at all. Thanks once again for all your creative ideas and hard work.

Katia

I put it in my mods folder and none of the items popped up so I wasn’t sure

Lily Lackey

thank you!!! Yes the PlumPad is coming back ;)

Arnie

Do you think you will also be introducing the plumfruit tablets again as well? 👀 I loved the colored case swatches you made with the tablets! Oh and I just want to say, I just used the updated mod yesterday; the tv screen swatches are AMAZING! The reference to real shows was one of the coolest things!

Jaclynn

Thank you! Noted!

Arnie

Thank you so much for your support <3

Arnie

I'm aiming for a release by the end of february!

Arnie

Yes to all of this!! I just don't know if it's possible with the game's limitations... creating simstagram in the first place back then was already a huge challenge! Thanks for sharing :)

Arnie

Thank you! These are all great ideas, some I've already considered creating!

Arnie

Plumfruit and Luminova are standlone independant mods :)

Arnie

Ok that's interesting, thanks for sharing! I have lots of mods planned already for the next few months, but I'll definitely consider!

Arnie

You're so sweet thank you so much🥹🥹

Arnie

📝

Arnie

Thanks!! and omg iPod is one of the things I hope to bring in the game one day!

Arnie

Merci beaucoup Matthias! Oui j'ai plein d'autres projets hors sims, mais peu de temps à y consacrer pour l'instant! Merci du soutien <3

Arnie

Thanks for your insights! I've been thinking about a better online/UI shopping experience in the sims 4, but that might be a standalone mod on its own because there is a LOT of work lmao! TS4's ui shopping is *not* great😅

Arnie

@DaceCross you are correct! These are independant standalone mods, they just compliment each other well when both installed!

Arnie

Thank you!!!!

Arnie

Retro Kit is my favourite idea for now, I've never done something like this before!

Arnie

Thank you!!! <3

Arnie

I wanted to! Maybe in a future Luminova extension!

Arnie

🥹

Arnie

I thought about the Buisness & Hobbies EP integration, we'll see! Thanks for sharing!

Arnie

plumfruit store mod for sure!

Farrah Kennedy

Out of what you listed I would love to see a pumfruit store to sell the devices! It would be so fun with the new expansion pack coming soon too! I remember when you did the store back in the day and it was so nice with the tables you made and everything! Loved it! I also loved when you did the smart mirror and the virtual gaming set. It was a lot of fun! Literally just everything smart home for the sims! Lol sorry, I'm really excited!

Jaclynn

omg the plumfruit store mod sounds insane!!! you are truly one of one <3

Lasha7

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE you are the coolest in the game <3

Rave J

I have been loving this Mod! Love the colours and everything 😍. All the ideas you gave for things you might do sound exciting too. I know we already have roomba type vacuums but it'd be awesome if you created one to work with the smart home (also to get the colour combo from everything)

CelticAutumnRose

omg!! love everything super excited!! i have been wanting to find a good functional smartwatch for a while, but the store mod also looks so fun!

isa

Words cannot express how much the Sims world has missed you! You are truly the best to ever do it! Thank you ❤️❤️

Frankie ZenLuxeBB

I can’t wait for the PlumPhone Pro Mod, if you decide to do that. :’) I’m so so so happy you’re back

Heather

I’m gonna cry

Heather

honestly plumphone pro mod or the retro mod kit!

Catie

missing plum cant wait love it

Antoinette Harris

i know right! that would be really cool

Odishika

I dont think it will be absolutely necessary to download plumfruit for luminova to work or vice versa. Arnie is really good about having their mods work as standalones, where one mod may boost another (added features) but does not need them to function on their own. I hope that helps!

Dace Cross

Aaaaahhh so excited for this!! I think I'm most interested in the PlumPhone Pro because I wasn't playing the game when you were modding before and was sad I missed the previous version. EA could have done so much more with the phone! Thank you for your hard work, Arnie! :D

Mellow

do I need plum fruit and lumina to make the mod work?

Lily Lackey

ooh, moodlets when you receive a comment on a post would be awesome

Daphne Binder

Its all looking sooo good on luminova and plumfruit. About the features on plumfruit, i think of the options you listed the PlumPhone Pro Mod with the Simstagram, Luv2Meet features and others and the PlumWatch Ultra are what i'm looking forward the moooost. As for other things I hope you might add to this universe: • A remake of apple's airpods and airpods max to fit the plumfruit family with the possibility to listen to audiobooks/podcasts that raises skills • Also a shopping app that integrates with the phone, something like express delivery by QMbibi and SimSim Online Store by Andirz and food delivery with lookalike stores (e.g Sephora, Amazon, MacDonalds, Domino's, Starbucks...) I know it's a lot, but I hope this inspires you somehow and I just want to say welcome back and I hope you keep on going ♥

Daphne Binder

Merci vraiment pour le travail que tu fais c'est génial! Le téléphone pro donne vraiment envie même si toutes les idées sont super. Une petite question : as-tu en ce moment des projets hors les sims? Merci encore on a hâte de voir la suite ^^

Matthias Fabri

All very exciting! Everything looks Amazing Any chance for a Kindle, Tablet for Audio books & some iPods to go with it . Thank you for your hard work

Simeralla

I'm so excited for all of this! Thank you so much for all your hard work. <3

Karla Gutierrez

I would definitely like to see a Plumwatch!

Vanessa Reado

alll

Kole

I love all of this, thank you much for your hard work && again, I (and many others, I'm sure) am so glad you've returned !! I loved the Simstagram app, so I'm putting my bid in for PlumPhone Pro, PlumWatch Ultra, and the PlumFruit Store (I had at least one "store" in each of my saves)

tajmahaal

Would love if you could add functional landline phones for the wall or desk (not sure if that was part of your Retro mod kit ideas). I really like the PlumFruit Store Mod Kit which would allow Sims to have/run a functional store to sell all the PlumFruit items and the PlumWatch Ultra.

Cassy98

Omg I am in Shock! 😣🥹 you don’t even know how much I missed this sm. I see your depth of creativity & I really missed playing with your creations.. you made my game time feel so real. ngl I had my game offline on a separate pc just to play for the longest time lol

Dace Cross

Ahhhh!!!! I just looked up the old one a week or so ago and noticed it wasn't available so this makes me so so happy!!! I love plumfruit 🥰🥰🥰

Shortphix

Will we be able to download the items as standalone?? So excited for this 🤭🤭

Z

please make a arnie baby collection with a baby monitor that sends us alerts that the baby is up

JordynShaKia

Not sure if these are already plans you have for this mod. But here's a few ideas id love to see. A smartwatch that could track maybe moods, fitness tracker, or be paired with headphones. Or possibly features that could work with some other creators mods (cycle tracking, make/receive calls, etc) More smart appliances/addons: washer/dryer, sliding doors, more lights maybe even like a bed that could be moved sort of like sleep number? I could list more but these are the top ones I would love to see while realizing some may be impossible. Thank you again for all you do. So glad you're back to sims 4 modding!

Lauren

unfortunately i only just discovered you and your mods around the time you took a break so I'm really looking forward to finally getting to try the PlumFruit stuff out - already loving the smart home items

RealSoftwareEngineer

This is so good ! Thank you so much for your hard work, I really appreciate you taking the time to recreate this mod! I am really looking forward to the Plumfruit Pro Mod which would re-introduce Simstagram! This feature is one of my favs and I would love to see what new features you would add *Some Ideas* - a more intensive experience for Simstagram e.g., being able to follow a sim, and they get a notification & follow back & it shows in your following list, tagging & also being able to be tagged in posts - a more interactive UI as well where if my sim posts a picture, sims that are following me will automatically like/comment on my post or be able to send me dms Thanks so much! Looking forward to release day!

Odishika

i loveeeee this, when is it being released

pr0ph3cy1

HONEY, at the rate you're going, I won't need to have any other patreons, I can just sub to you and be so happy! you're brilliant ;-) THANK YOU!

Kimie80

I like all the ideas but if you do a phone store can we have Apple and Apple Mac or pro max phones all different prices and maybe even a version for android users or google

Kyui

OH MY GOD THESE ARE SO DAMN GOOD!!!! I'm so excited for the Luminova update but the Plumfruit update would absolutely make my month. Some wishes: For the plum pad, I hope there's a variation where the plumpad connected to a keyboard (kinda like the ipad keyboard) and can function like a mini laptop lol. I hope plumpad note taking can also be possible, like for doing homework and journaling ❤️ Thank you for everything that you do to make these mods happen!

s.ran

this is so cool!!!! thank you for all your hard work and im excited to see what you do next :)

carite

You are so talented!!! I’m excited!! 😊 thank you!!! ☺️

PsychoticCoven

I can’t wait for my new phone! 😊
