If you find a “broken link”; Please refer first to the Download Links page. These links are always the most updated for any set. If you do not see a link that matches the name of the set you’re looking for, make sure there wasn’t an updated and renamed version made.

If you’d like to support us; Please refer to the Donate page. We don’t run a Patreon as we feel it puts undue stress on creators. Donations are put toward mostly high quality texture purchases, mesh sets, and other creation resources. Also for vast amounts of tea.

If you need to contact us; We frequent the Plumb Bob Keep forum, it’s Discord, and the Sun&Moon Discord. We can’t help you or give your information at other places we do not frequent, i.e. MTS, Reddit, Garden of Shadows, etc.

If you’re looking for our policy; Please refer to the Sun&Moon Policy page. There’s a method to our madness as they say so please respect it.

Do I take requests/suggestions/commissions; No.

Sounds like you're missing the Smarter EP Check file.

Yes it can.

The set up upgraded to Buzzin' About. You need to download that set.

Those conflict with Midge's mods, because Midge was the one who coded them for us. Per our notes from Midge, here's the info straight from the source:

"I also updated "antijealousy_jealousycheck" and "testforpregnancy" but I left them separate - these are the global overrides that make the game check for potion tokens when handling jealousy (anti-jealousy potion)/pregnancies (birth control, fertility, invirility, virility potions). Since they'll conflict with some other mods I figured I'd leave them separate - that way if alternate versions have to be made to be compatible with other mods people can pick and choose the right version. One conflict that obviously will happen is with the corresponding mods from Smonaff's set, but I left in the checks for Smonaff's original tokens when adding the new combo-token checks so you can just tell people to replace Smonaff's jealousy check and pregnancy test packages with the new Sun&Moon versions. I also ran the hack conflict detection utility and found the jealousy check does not conflict with ACR's jealousy plugin but the pregnancy test conflicts with my Reproductive Capabilities Configurer mod and any pregnancy mod RCC conflicts with - I'm thinking I'll make a plugin for RCC that people can use instead once the set's been released."

Though of course, I'm not sure where Midge left off on her own plans after Teas were initially released, as Teas (and upcoming potions) use the same controller files.

It DOES APPEAR that we have some alternate files for jealousy that accounted for her Romantic Standards however. Those can be released with the next potion/tea update.

Videos by us, no. Videos by others...we've seen a few reviews, and some simmers actively using mods during their playthroughs but nothing instructional really.

Instructional videos from us are unlikely to happen, as we spend so much time on the coding and manual as it is. Anyone else is free to make how to videos though.

Did you buy new bushes, save and exit the lot, and come back? Usually after such a change, you need to buy a new version to get the changes to start.

When we look at the laundry files again (not planning to until the next round of translation files are in), we can see if that's possible.

So, we don''t normally address what people are saying over at other places that we don't frequent, because, ya know: we don't go there. But seeing as how this is a bit of a Thing rn, especially in Sims 4 circles:

No, - reddit user concerned about Sun&Moon laundry being a Trojan - Laundry is not a Trojan nor are any of our other sets. I have no idea why Windows Defender would flag it as one, but rest assured: we are not adding malware or other malicious content into our files. Why would we ruin our work like that? The latest update was a legit update. No Trojans added, just Brazilian Portuguese.

Also, for anyone opening up threads about Sun&Moon stuff on reddit or MTS or anywhere that we generally don't hang out at: you are gonna get much better support by just asking us directly. We do not bite. Seriously, I cannot stress this enough: You will not get good support for our mods by posting on sims subreddits. There is the Keep, there is Discord, there is Tumblr. If your objects are flashing blue, consider downloading our essentials from the Quickstart Guide first.

This was phased out. The Fresh Outfit model and texture was updated to something more "time period generic". The laundry post has been edited, thanks for reminding us.

Loads o' Laundry - Fixes and localization March 10 2024

Download Loads o' Laundry

Laundry is currently available in English, Dutch, French, Portuguese (EU & BR) and Polish. Russian is still in progress atm. Would you like to have laundry available in another language not yet supported? Download the localization strings here, translate them and send them over via our Discord or Tumblr PM to fireflowersims.

Creating new detergents that function as part of the laundry system is tricky and requires modifying and adding quite a few resources across quite a lot of objects. It's a very time-consuming process and not exactly something we would recommend someone unfamiliar with the code to do. All the parts are connected and it's easy enough to break something if you're not sure what you're doing. Heck, even when you do know what you're doing, you can still break it (as last update showed did happen). Something that may work better for you, is making mesh/texture defaults of any detergents you do not use. Simple enough: replace the mesh/texture bits, fix integrity, save and re-compressorize.

As a side-note: Making edits for personal use is totally okay in all cases. Just be aware that by modifying the files, you are voiding our warranty (BCON tuning does not count).

Are you playing on a owned community lot, if so it may be being given to the lot owners inventory rather than the sims doing the harvesting.
