The Sims 4 Plumfruit Collection Mod Walkthrough
Plumfruit Essentials
Plumfruit Essentials offers a variety of sleek, modern devices, including a computer, laptop, tablets, and smart speakers.
This new Plumfruit release it is an update on the previous mod in the series – Plumfruit Lite – from a few years back, but everything here is brand new.
PlumPhone
PlumPhone Air: A stylish phone replacement with the plumfruit logo on the case and a new menu screen with PlumfruitOS icons. This functions just like any of the other mobile phones in game – meaning it is also free for your Sims!
PlumPad
PlumPad Air & PlumPad Mini: Elegant tablets featuring an overhauled menu consistent with all other Plumfruit items with new app icons for easier navigation. These devices are also portable, so they slot straight into your inventory.
Your sims will be able to use them to browse the web, play games like Bicblock, go on Social Bunny if you have High School Years, and they also allow you to read e-Books.
The PlumPad Air will cost §999 and the PlumPad Mini will cost §499, making it a reasonable price.
iPlum and Plumbook Air
iPlum Air & PlumBook Air: A futuristic all-in-one desktop and a sleek laptop to match, both equipped with 15 beautiful wallpapers featuring familiar desktop images and in-game destinations, pride themes, landscapes, and also a plain black swatch which will make it look like your Sim has turned their computer off.
They function just like any other in-game computer and feature apps like Mail, Web Explorer, Amazim, and more. One little touch that we also loved is the Simlish keyboard!
They don’t come cheap though, the PlumBook Air costs §1159 and the iPlum air §1899.
PlumPod
PlumPod Max & PlumPod Mini: Smart speakers with animated screens, colourful swatches, and access to Plumfruit’s virtual assistant, Neo. Just like the other Plumfruit devices it has a stylish menu with new icons. It lets your sims listen to music, ask Neo questions, and control their lights.
The PlumPod mni and max speaker both cost §299.
Neo: Plumfruit’s answer to Alexa, Siri, and other popular virtual assistants. They are going to tell you everything that is going on in town and give you some ideas of shows to watch, as well as answer some all important questions.
When asking Neo something your sims will walk towards the device and speak to it. Arnie has definitely given Neo a personality, if you ask “When is Pride Month?” Neo will reply “ALL YEAR LONG BABY! Happy pride month to YOU!”
PlumCam
PlumCam Future: A high-end camera with three lenses, three stylish colour swatches and a massive touchscreen, perfect for capturing in-game moments. It functions just like all other cameras in the game and slots nicely into your Sim’s inventory.
PlumTV
PlumTV: A modern television running PlumfruitOS, plus apps like Simflix and Simsney+. The TV itself is a wall mounted TV with rounded corners and a selection of new screensavers full of little easter eggs to real TV shows as well as some of Artie’s old mods.
It is the most expensive item in this bundle, though, at §2699 simoleons (but we can all agree it is worth it).
PlumBuds
These air pod style ear buds are a reskin of the ones that come with Fitness Stuff. Your sims will get given them on occasion, but you can also buy them from the catalogue for §220.
Retrofruit Nostalgia
For those who appreciate a nostalgic touch, Retrofruit brings vintage-inspired tech from the ’90s and early 2000s.
These items are not available yet, but will be in early access soon. Stay tuned!
When can I download these?
Plumfruit Essentials is out today for early access download; public release will follow next week on the 11th of April.
Retrofruit’s release date has yet to be announced, but we can look forward to more updates soon.
