🥳 NEW (small) Mod + NEWS!
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 11:06:17 +0000 UTCHey friends!
February flew by so fast I can't believe it! I have some news for you today, plus a small mod release! Let's get into it!
New Patch UPDATE
First, there's a new patch update in the Sims 4 that brings back burglars to the game, yay!!! I tested all my mods (released since I came back) with this update and everything seems to work well. If you notice anything odd or encounter a bug, please use the bug reports form. A huge thanks to everyone who has already submitted feedback, it has helped me fix issues and helps the whole community, thank you!!
This patch update introduced a new burglar alarm panel, and I thought it would be cool to integrate its features into the Luminova Smart Home Panel and hubs. What do you think? (probably coming in the next Luminova update, along with improved translations for several languages!)
New Small Mod: FreshPieMenu
Some of you have noticed in my screenshots and trailers that I have a custom UI for the pie menus that matches the design of my custom menu icons, like the ones you have seen with CheatsMaster or Luminova. I'm releasing this small mod today!
I redesigned it because the pie menu is one of the most frequently seen UI elements in the game, and I kind of dislike the dated look of The Sims 4’s original UI design (which makes sense since it was created 10 to 15 years ago). I used to have another UI mod called Darkmode, but it was too unstable since almost every Sims 4 update would break it.
However, this new small UI mod has proven to be stable for months now, and I am happy to share it today with you all. It is called FreshPieMenu, and it might be expanded in the future with other stable UI elements. It's just a small redesign but it really makes a difference for me while playing!
You can now download FreshPieMenu, the package file is attached at the bottom of this post!
The original menu vs the redesign in FreshPieMenu. (The icons and re-organised cheats require my CheatsMaster mod). Be careful, this mod will conflict with any other UI mod overriding the pie menus!
Plumfruit Mod Kits - Work-In-Progress
I’ve been hard at work on two new mod kits this month (Plumfruit related), and I cannot wait to share them with you. The Plumfruit Essentials mod kit will revive our most beloved Plumfruit devices, including the PlumPhone, PlumPad, iPlum computer, and more… all created from scratch! It will be released alongside the new [REDACTED] mod kit (keeping the secret until the cinematic trailer announcement) and I want to release them both at the same time.
I wanted to finish Plumfruit Essentials and the other mod kit in February, but I might have given myself an unrealistic deadline (again!), and I am not quite ready to release these two mod kits. Thank you for your patience as I work on these packs. I want to make them the absolute best possible and give myself enough time to create a cool trailer, because I truly love making them! My new goal is to release them in March, so stay tuned! In the meantime, members can get a sneak peek here + and another one here!
But wait, I have another exclusive peek for you here: 👀
--------------------
That's it for today friends, I can't wait to share more with you! Looking forward to the announcement and release of my next two mod kits in March :)
Thank you once again for your amazing support, and for sharing my work with the world! I'm blown away by the amount of videos and posts I've seen on TikTok, Twitter, YouTube and even Xiaohongshu, featuring my Luminova mod kit and some of my other projects! You guys are the absolute best 😭💜 Please take care, and I'll see you in March for two new mod kits!
Love,
Arnie

Hi, I'm glad I can comment here, because my game says that there is a mod conflicting with the tools mod, a mod that changes UI colors; but its weird, because I don't use any UI color-changing Mods, so could this mod be conflicting with tools mod? If yes, I'd have to remove one of the mods, yours or the tools mod :'( Thanks in advance.
Shane Suen
omg i l love you!!! everything you mad is perfect!
Kimberly
This mod will conflict with any other UI mod overriding the pie menus.
Cynthia Norman
Is it right for me to assume this conflict with the UI cheat mod.
Mellow
I've been using both together with no issues as long as Smarter Pie Menu loads above Fresh Pie Menu (or in an overrides folder). 🎉 Looks like it overrides the GFX.
Savanna Kalinowski
It is conflicting and not allowing you to search with Twistedmexi smarter pie menu! When I removed fresh pie menu the smarter pie menu worked again
Denise Curtis
Love your mods:) integrating alarm system with Luminova is an awesome idea; maybe a door cam- hate those pesky neighbor kids:) :) :)
Arnie
Hey bianca! I've only tested it with MCCC, and I'm not sure if other cheat mods are compatible! If you try it, please let me know :)
Bianca Milano
hello, I have a question, if I download the cheatsmater mod can I still have the UI CHEATS in my game ?
Arnie
I haven't tested it with any other UI mod, if you try it, let me know if there is a conflict!
Arnie
Thank you so much!!! 🥹
Tomás Alejandro Montero

Will Plumfruit be out today or end of March?
Anette Kvammen
Is freshpiemenu comatible with Twistedmexi Smarter pie menu? ☺
Just4TheSims007
The alarm-integrated feature with Luminova would be perfect. I'm so excited for everything coming soon.
Melissa 🤍
I love your mods and I'm so happy you're updating plumfruit. I looked alll over for an alternative but couldnt find any. Cant wait for it to be released
Melissa 🤍
PLEASE put your mods on curseforge. It makes it easier to update
Starlite
You are just so clever! As a tech junkie, I love using your mods in my game. TY
ClandestineNyx
So excited for March! The first thought I had when they said the alarm was I hope Arnie is going to redesign it! Can't wait to add FreshPieMenu to my game
Vernice Gonzalez
Thanks for your diligence, but my dear you're a tease. can't wait. if the release is in march it would make for a good bday present
Smithkitten345
Yes me too ...so excited for the plumfruit coming back . I used it a lot in the past .miss it so much .and I use a better pie menu mod also. Wil I need to delete it to use this one?!
Rave J

Dace Cross
Im excited :)
Harcan Anto
trop bien nous attendons avec impatience . Vas-tu remettre le miroir connecté et les lunettes gamings ? MERCI
Purrsimmer8
I agree for integrate features of the alarm into the Luminova smart home panel and hubs. Sorry not sorry EA, the burglar alarm is not really good looking. Thank you so much for the FreshPieMenu mod. Sorry if my question is dumb but does this mod conflict with the "smarter pie menu" mod? Can't wait for the plumfruit kits 💜
Avril Pankratz
