(Now Available) SimSelf Plus Announcement + NEWS
🕑 Added 2025-05-26 19:58:54 +0000 UTC[May 27th 2025] : SimSelf Plus is now available in early access, for two weeks! Click here to download the mod!
-------------------------
Hey friends,
I have some news for you today! I've been working on several projects this month, and I'm releasing one of them today... say hello to SimSelf Plus!
🆕 New Mod: SimSelf Plus (Now Available!)
This new mod is a complete overhaul of the sim-self interactions (when you click on your own active sim), in the style of what I've done before with CheatsMaster. I re-orgnaised the interactions and designed new icons for you to have a clean, easy-to-navigate, and colorful pie menu!
▶️ You can watch the video linked up above to see how it looks!
The interactions and menus have been re-organised and re-designed with sub-categories too!! For example: the new "Attitude 🤭" category/menu includes the 'Flaunt Wealth' interactions from Get Famous EP, the Be Gross / Make a Mess / Shout Forbidden Words interactions from Parenthood GP, and the 'Romance' interactions from the Lovestruck EP!
Another example is the new "Groups & Actions" category, which includes the groups interactions (Form Group, Remove from Group, etc.) but also some general interactions like 'Send Everyone Home' or 'Disable Attraction'... it’s basically a general-purpose social menu!
The new "Fitness" menu holds all the fitness & workout interactions for your sim: do push-ups, sit-ups, go jogging, and stretch! And the new "Posture & Sky" menu gives you interactions like 'Sit on Ground' or 'Stargaze', etc. And much more!!
🚨Click Here to download SimSelf Plus, it's in early access for 2 weeks, until June 10th🚨
Here's a little behind-the-scenes screenshot, with some of the icons I designed for SimSelf Plus in Adobe Illustrator:
I designed the icons in the same style as my other projects (Luminova, Plumfruit, CheatsMaster, etc.) for continuity. *No AI is ever involved in the making of my designs! 🚫🤖
📊"UP TO YOU" Survey (5 days left)
A couple weeks ago, I uploaded a survey to learn more about what you'd like to see next in the game! Thank you to those who participated in this survey, I recieved more than 1,000 responses just from Patreon alone, and several hundred from Twitter! 🤯
If you didn't get a chance to respond yet, I'm keeping it online for 5 more days, until May 31st. You can still participate and tell me what you'd like to see next in the game by clicking here!
I’m really glad I made this survey, it has helped me understand my audience better, and some of the results even surprised me! It’s going to be super helpful as I decide which projects to focus on next. Thank you again for taking part!
📦 Other Projects!
I’ve been working on several projects lately, and thanks to your responses to the survey, I now know which ones to prioritize. One of them is something BIG (I can’t say too much yet), but I’m planning to announce it this summer, with a release later this year… stay tuned!
But first, I still have a few mods to revive as part of my return to Sims modding, and they’re some of the biggest ones: Farmland, Brookheights, and World Edit. I can already confirm that World Edit 3 is in active development and should be released in June! 🛠️🌍
I originally hoped to finish reviving all my older mods by the end of June, but now I’m aiming for the end of summer. It's taking a bit more time because I’m remaking these projects, sometimes completely from scratch (like Plumfruit), with new concepts, new code, 3D models, textures, designs, etc. And I also create new projects in between to keep my community (and myself!) engaged and active. It might take a little longer, but I always prefer to take the time to create something I’m truly proud of, and that is worth the wait for you. 💜
--------------------
That’s it for today, friends!! Thanks for reading all the way through! Wishing you a lovely week ahead, and I’ll see you tomorrow for the release of SimSelf Plus!

will this affect the better pie menu mod by Andirz?
Denise Curtis
Love all your work and appreciate all the hard work you do!!! I can't wait for more:)
Arnie
No it should'nt conflict! It's not overriding the pie menu core file :)
MyNameIsDria
Love this ! Will it conflict with Smarter Pie Menu by tmex?
Casiopea
I love how you still maintain that style of play, although you give it a creative evolution and with your signature. ♥️

Thank you for being one of the few creators to not take advantage of EA stupid reasonable terms and locking stuff for a month or more. Like seriously mad props to you for only locking it for two weeks. I can honestly respect that. I'm worried though this might interfere with a lot of mods that have a lot of interactions. Do you know if there any are conflicts so far?

For real! EA pie menu is so all over the place. Arnie's pie menu is not only simple, but honestly also very clean and pretty.

I will never not be surprised by your creations, like honestly I'm so amazed every single time.
Anna Garcia
Again Arnie, what is there to even say??? Thank you AGAIN lol a thousand times over. I truly can't fathom your genius bc despite playing this game for 25 years, I still know nothing about computers in general. You make everything so much prettier and so much more fun but also the practicality! Just thank you so much 🙏🏽

Love the clean look!! Best one I've seen so i am thinking about adding it. Question though before i do, does this and your other pie menu mod conflict with weerbesu's UI cheat extension and any other pie menu mods?
Shonda Paige
Serious question why don't The Sims work with you? I get the worst anxiety from their pie menu.

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, how much the whole Sims 4 community appreciate and love all of your thoughtful mods. Your talents certainly exceed mine LOL.
