Arnie has now added to the Plumfruit lore with this collection inspired by vintage gadgets. Following on from Plumfruit’s brand new update – introducing The Sims 4 Retrofruit Mod! For those who appreciate a nostalgic touch, Retrofruit brings vintage-inspired tech from the ’90s and early 2000s.
This homage to vintage tech features devices inspired by devices from the 90’s and early 2000’s, including an old square PC, floppy discs, and a functional landline!
Here is a breakdown of all the items you can expect to find in this bundle.
The Sims 4 Retrofruit Mod Contents
The iPlum Classic
The star of the show. This bulky computer with the small square screen will trigger memories of dial-up tones and painful loading speeds in the best way possible. This functions just like all other PCs in the game and will cost your Sims §1599.
iPlum 2000
This slightly more updated design features unique all-in-one base with a screen mounted on a metallic arm. At the time this design felt truly futuristic and it captures a glance back in time to the early 2000s perfectly. Can you believe this is what we thought computers would start to look like back in 2000?!
This PC has all the same functions as the iPlum classic and costs slightly more at §1899.
Vintage storage: CDs, floppy discs and USBs
Few things are more retro than a floppy disc! All these storage items cost §10 and slot into your Sims inventory, making them perfect to store photos and documents for your Sims on the go. They also come in a nice variety of colours!
This is a great little addition to this Retrofruit collection and I know I will be using it for all my Sims projects, photos, and general keep-sakes.
CD and storage towers
You’re using these new CDs, USBs and floppy discs to store your holiday photos or important documents, but where to put them?! Every single storage tower slot is functional and fits the CDs, floppy discs, and document printouts. All of the CD tower slots are functional too, and will fit the CDs and floppy discs easily.
The storage tower is §150 and the CD tower is slightly cheaper at §79.
RetroPhone: A functional landline
Now for the item that got me the most excited – a fully functional landline phone!
This landline is also a ‘smartphone’ with a sleek animated screen, has home security features built in, clock alarms, and – of course – functions like a landline phone. That means you can call your Sim’s friends and family, order pizza, call services – basically do anything you can do on the phone that doesn’t require the internet.
It costs §299 and (in my opinion) is 100% worth it.
PlumPrinter: a functional printer for some office chic
This PlumPrinter lets your Sims print editable documents from their phone! It’s great for CVs/Resumes, news articles, logging your bills and utilities, family memories, or even writing journals with the blank text document.
The printer will slot nicely onto your desk and costs §499. Each document costs §1 to print and the custom animation for the printer is worth that spend alone.
Plumfruit Pro Desk
An office wouldn’t be complete without a desk, and this one from Retrofruit comes in 7 lovely swatches.
The desk doesn’t come cheap at 2500, but its easily going to become a staple in my Sims offices.
PlumCam vintage
Who doesn’t love a vintage camera? The predecessor to the PlumCam Future from the Plumfruit collection, this camera and its retro vibes function just like any other camera in game. With its classic design, it’s the perfect tool for memory-making, and of course, the images can be stored on your CDs, floppy discs, and USB sticks.
It comes in three swatches – grey, black, and cream – and costs §850.
miniPod
Remember iPods and how revolutionary they were at the time? Now your Sims can experience them too! Each miniPod comes with its own dock station and a new Music app for your Sims favourite stations. This range was before Neo’s time though so you won’t find the Plumfruit virtual assistant here unfortunately!
The miniPod has an animated screen, comes in 8 colourful swatches, and costs §899.
