DOWNLOAD - Plumfruit Essentials! (1.2 Update)
🕑 Added 2025-04-03 13:00:56 +0000 UTC[September 24th 2025] : Plumfruit Essentials 1.2 Update is now available! See the changelog and details at the bottom of this post!
------------------
Hey friends,
Yesterday I announced The Plumfruit Collection and two new mod kits, Retrofruit and Plumfruit Essentials. You can watch the trailer here on my YouTube channel, and read the full post announcement here!
Today is my brithday and my gift to you is the release of Plumfruit Essentials!! 🥳 This is the first mod kit from the Plumfruit Collection, which will expand in the future with new releases!
Say hello to Plumfruit Essentials, a brand new mod kit featuring some of your favourite Plumfruit device types: phone, tablets, computers, and more! This mod kit is kind of a reimagining of Plumfruit Lite, a mod kit with more simple items I released just before I stepped away from Sims modding three years ago. But everything here is brand new: simpler code, better stability, and better design than ever before!
What’s included?
📱 PlumPhone Air – A stylish new phone replacement with a custom animated screen and PlumfruitOS visuals. For now, it’s available in one swatch: Titanium, and this is just the first of a new generation of Plumfruit phones.
There are also new app icons I designed for your UI Phone, that match the interactions and categories! Now please be careful: the PlumPhone Air and the new app icons are overriding some of the game's items, interactions and categories! Any other mod overriding the phone will conflict! Also, please note that there is only one swatch available for now! Some players have been asking for the PlumPhone Air to be a seperate download, would you like that? Let me know in the comments down below!
💻 PlumPad Air & PlumPad Mini – These elegant tablets come with a completely overhauled interaction menu, now sorted into apps with all-new icons for easier accessibility, similar to what I’ve done with CheatsMaster and Luminova. These icons will be shared across all Plumfruit devices (and the next Luminova update too!)
🖥️ iPlum Air & PlumBook Air – A futuristic all-in-one desktop and a sleek laptop companion. Both come with 15 beautiful wallpapers, a minimalist black-screen swatch, and new apps like Mail, Web Explorer, Notes, and more.
🔊 PlumPod Max & PlumPod Mini – These are for all the music lovers out there! Great sound quality, colourful swatches, animated screens, smart home features (compatible with Luminova), and access to Plumfruit’s virtual assistant, Neo.
If you have my Luminova Mod Kit installed, there are already some features that are cross-comptaible, and there will be soon another update expanding the features!
🎧 PlumBuds – A stylish replacement for the EarBuds from the Fitness Stuff Pack – required for them to show up and work! With an overhauled menu and custom icons for a smoother, more modern feel. (This is also an override and it will conflict with any other mod replacing the EarBuds!)
📸 PlumCam Future – A high-end camera with three lenses and a massive touchscreen at the back. It works just like the in-game HD cameras, but with an updated futuristic design (perfect to take pictures to store on Retrofruit storage units when it comes out!)
📺 PlumTV – Running PlumfruitOS (just like the Luminova Smart TV), this new TV features rounded corners, a selection of new screensavers, and sleek modern lines.
You can also use the animated TV Backlight from Luminova with this new TV!
----------------------------
✦ BONUS PERKS ✦
Patreon Members got early access to this mod last week with a couple bonus perks, which include the Plumfruit computer's wallpapers in 4K, and a special and exclusive digital member card I designed for the occasion!
Members can still download them on the ✦ Bonus & Early Access ✦ page here! Think of these as a little digital collectibles. If you enjoy this kind of perks, let me know and I’ll definitely make more in the future! 💜🫶
Members can download the Plumfruit Wallpapers in 4K and the exclusive Member Card shown up above.

[Sept. 24th 2025] Plumfruit Essentials - 1.2 UPDATE
Hey friends! I have a small update for Plumfruit Essentials today! Here's the changelog:
Fixed a bug that would make sims dance after asking Neo a question
Improved referencing and cross-compatibility with my other mods (it should stop mod conflict reports from Better Exceptions)
Added new Computer Categories icons: 'Mentoring' and 'Small Business', in the style of other apps!
I split the Phone UI Apps from the Phone Override package files (for the UNMERGED folder version) for those who wanted them seperate :)
Improved cross-compatibility with FutureFruit 1.0 and Luminova 1.8.
New Travel App Icon, in the style of my SimSelf Plus mod, for the Ui Phone Apps
Added 5 new wallpapers for the iPlum Air and PlumBook Air computers, in the style of FutureFruit!
Fixed an issue that could prevent the Plumfruit Smart TV to connect with game consoles
Other minor improvements
----------------------------
How to Install
Download the file attached down below: "Arnie_Plumfruit_Essentials_1.2.package" (or the Arnie_Plumfruit_Essentials_1.2_UNMERGED folder for those who want seperate items! Download and install one of these two options!)
Put it in your Mods folder (and enable mods in the game's settings) and make sure you don't have other mods overriding the same items!
Enjoy :) You can find the items by searching for "Plumfruit" or "Arnie" in the build/buy searchbar.
-------------------------
🐞 A bug? Let's fix it!
If you encounter a bug or would like to report an issue with my content, please use the new BUG REPORTS FORM, it helps me and the community a lot! Thank you for reporting :)
-------------------------
That's it for today friends! Thank you so much for the warm response to the announcement! I'm glad I took my time to make these releases the best I could possibly make them. Thank you for your continued support and excitement about my work, and for the birthday wishes I've recieved already! 🥹🫶

i put it on my desktop and run the game and i can play fine, so that's how i knew, as well.
Milk-jug21
causing my game to not fully load in and say it needs a restart, tried the two and then the macros, different files, updated all my other mods, ran my mod file thru lumpinous mod checker and checked on Scarlets Realm. This mod is definitely broken :( . Can't wait for this to update, i love it so much, i had it just yesterday and today i couldn't log on for some reason, even though it's been broke for others.
Tatiane ACS
o meu celular smartphone não aparece não sei oque fazer ? este mod não tinha o sim instagram ?
Yonnie
this mod is breaking my game it wont start please update
Colorful Reacts
Im also getting the same issue, and apparently it's the missing .ts4script, which im sure they will fix.
Ashley Villa
Hello, Im getting an error: "Script call failed" when placing Plumbook Air, I Plum Air, Plumpod Max & Mini into my sims home. Thanks for your help =)
witchgirll
omg same, i thought i was the only one

Lisa Flack
This mod conflicts with your Luminova 1.7. mod. What is the difference between them and which one should I keep and delete? Does any of your mods need an uppdate after last weeks patch?
SelenaNemi
god thank you for making these
shalise penn
this mod makes my game unable to launch, as well as LUMINOVA. please update!
Savannah Thompson
Is this compatible with the recent update?
Mescliemoon
I just love your mods!! Thanks
Sarah Johnson
what date will update be out excited to use this with new mod :)
Kachow ⚡
Would you ever consider separating the phone override and the icons?
Ella
I loveeee the phone icons, but I already have a phone override, is there any way to seperate the icons?
Arnie
Hey! there's no option to change the phone case for now, I'm thinking about that for a future PlumPhone Pro mod kit!
wystxria
when can we change the color of the phone case? .. i tried using the swatches but, only the home screen color changes
neaqa
hey! i wanted to ask if it would possible to have a decor version to place in builds and accessory left&right hand version for pose pack of the Plumphone air ? i do story post and use the default replacement and it would be nice if i could match everything

Bonjour, si ça peut aider, il y a la traduction de kimikosoma mais depuis le temps, il y a de fortes chances qu'elle soit devenue obsolète. Pour t'aider, l'onglet "Ask Neo" te permet de poser une question à une IA, un genre d'Alexa, par exemple :) Je t'envoie le lien de kimikosoma au cas où : https://modsims4.fr/gameplay_complet/plumfruit-simstagram/
Remy Dean
can't currently comment directly... so commenting via reply here :) FYI, @arnie - I think there is a bug in the current Nature's Calling event- if you have Plumfruit installed, the 'listen to Nature Sounds' on stereo option doesn't come up, so you can't finish that stage of the event. I had to uninstall the mod to complete it and then reinstall.
Diji Fakeye
Hi! I totally support the plumphone air idea pleasee
Laurine Rousseau
Bonjour. Avez vous la traduction en Français ? Quand je clique sur l'ordinateur directement dans le jeu, j'ai un onglet appeler " Ask Neo" Et je voudrais l'avoir en français s'il vous plaît
UchiNataHime
I really love this mod, Its my new favorite mod and my sims have been enjoying it as well. Thank you for this awesome gift.
Esha
I love your mod! So much I became a member... But is there a way to keep the UI for the phone apps... but not the phone itself? If not... I understand, I will continue with your phone because I love your UI so much...
Baroness Bat
Thank you, these look like fun!
Jada Lindo
Hello!! Would you consider adding back the simstagram interactions that plumfruit had before?
Purrsimmer8
Merci beaucoup pour ce super mod, je pense que je ne le retirerai jamais de mon jeu (sauf update future), c'est un indispensable 💜✨ Désolé de demander ici mais envisagez vous de fair une version CUS/CAS des telephone, tablettes et appareil photo ? Ça serais super de pouvoir les utiliser avec des poses.
kiamini
Thank you for the unmerged version!!
Arnie
[April 18th 2025] Plumfruit Essentials 1.1 UPDATE Hey friends! I have a small update for Plumfruit Essentials today! First, I added the Small Business menu and interactions to the Plumfruit computers (thank you to whoever reported this issue through the bug reports form!). Please download the updated file below and replace the old one in your mods folder to update. Due to popular demand, I also decided to release an UNMERGED version of the mod kit. This is for those of you who only want some of the items, or who already have Phone overrides or EarBuds Override in your game and want the mod kit split. You can download the ZIP file below, unzip it, and place the “Arnie_Plumfruit_Essentials_1.1_UNMERGED” folder in your /mods folder. From there, you can remove the unwanted items individually from the folder (like the Phone Override+UI Apps for example). I recommend this for experienced mod users only, use at your own risk! That's it for this small update friends, I'm also releasing the Retrofruit mod kit with its bonus perks today! Yay!!! Have a great weekend friends, and happy simming! xoxoxo💜
Arnie
Thank you so much for your translation (and compliments! and birthday wishes!! 🥹🥹) Can I integrate this translation to the next update? Let me know! Thank you again xoxoxo💜
Aj Chers
Hi Arnie! ✨ I just wanted to let you know that I’ve translated your Plumfruit Essentials mod into Spanish! Thank you so much for this amazing gift and… welcome back! Your mods have always been such a joy, and I’m really happy to see you creating again. Also, happy belated birthday! 🎉 I hope you had a lovely day and thank you for celebrating it with us through your beautiful work. 💙 https://www.patreon.com/posts/traduccion-en-4-126905927?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but will the social media profile aspect be making a comeback? I'd love to see it :))
Mauricio Gordillo
Alguien me puede explicar como ver las nuevas apps como simtagram y eso no me aparecen ?
Olivia Lee
Oh awesome! Thanks and happy birthday!
Koji
This looks amazing! I would love to see the phone UI override as optional since I use Adeepindigo's mods that add custom phone apps so I'm not sure if they are both compatible. Would love to download this though if they are both compatible!
Mimi Mimi
A separate version without the phone would indeed be nice! I love the phone UI but like using custom phone cases for my sims, so just the phone UI override would also be amazing!
Sonder
Welcome back Arnie! We've missed you!
S W
Will this mod conflict with a tv mod that adds realistic channels? Thanks in advance & happy birthday!! My bday just passed last week. I hope you had a great one also!!
Molly Flaherty
Would love the phone separate from the rest! Absolutely love everything in this release though, incredible work as always!!
Star
I was wondering if you planned some swatches based on android phones. I love this mod and wanted to try it back when i found a year ago but im not really an Apple girl, definitely more about android linux and windows here lol I hope you have a good day!
Lara Sibilla
Could you please do a version without the phone? In my case I don't use phone override but I see a lot of people who use others and can't download this as it will conflict. Lovely mod!
Jayden Terry
ive been waiting so long for this thank you!!!
Mf Bree
is the a separate version without the phone override
Mahogany McGhee
I truly thought you'd never return to us at this capacity! We missed you, and thank you for coming back!!! Some of my fellow simmers and I who absolutely LOVED the OG Plumfruit would like to know about Simstagram? Is that something we need to sit tight with Mizore for?
Tiffiney Huff
Agreed! I 2nd this idea as well for the same reasons. Thank you for your awesome work Arnie! Cheers 🥰🎉
Cmeran
Wow just wow, you just never seem to miss. Thank you for all your hard work.
lala19996
How about simstagram when will this get updated? this has been one of my fav mods. should i delete Plumfruit 2?
Icy Vicy ♡
Thank you so much for reviving this iconic mod ♥
Queen Victoria
Thank You so much!
Rina
a version without the phone would be cool since i use a phone replacement already
Shandra Beaver
This looks great!! Does it work with Andirz better pie menu?
RSimmersLover
This looks awesome!! Amazing job as always. I totally vote on the Plumphone Air seperate, that would be great!

Happy belated birthday to you too Christina!!! xoxo
Arnie
Thank you!! You can zoom in on the items and UIs, there are several little easter eggs hidden here and there! Enjoy!!
Arnie
Hey! Simstagram is not apart of this release as explained before! I'm thinking of reviving it for a future mod kit with more stuff though, stay tuned!
Arnie
Happy belated birthday to you too ahah!!!!!
Arnie
Thank you so much Rowena! Yes the printer is coming with the next release: the Retrofruit mod kit! It's going on early access next week! Stay tuned xoxoxo
Dee M
Thank you--this all looks amazing!!
Rowena Perry
First of all Happy belated Birthday. I have to say I loved the trailer, your talent really shines. I can't wait to try all the cool new features for Plumfruit and I am looking forward to all the new mods that you will create going forward, our sims community is blessed by so many modders who pour their heart and soul into their work so I would like to say thank you for all you do. I have one question I was reading through the introduction but I didn't see the printer will you be releasing it at a later date or did you not list it but it's in the current release?
Breauntae Dean
