Download: Plumbpod Podcasts
✅ July 4, 2026: This mod is compatible with the latest game version.
REQUIREMENTS:
EP06: Get Famous
XML Injector by SCUMBUMBO
As someone who loves a good side hobby, I wanted to create a mini mod that allows your Sims to have their own! PlumbPod Podcasts allows your Sim to have a mini podcast hobby, all the while making some simoleons on the side. Your Sim will also have the opportunity to gain fame!
Accessing Podcast Interactions:
You can find the general Podcast, pie menu on any computer. This is where all of the general interactions will be. When you open this pie menu, you will find three other menus that allow you to register your podcast, choose your podcast type, and access other podcast interactions.
Registering Your Podcast:
You will have the option to choose two (2) podcast subscriptions. Basic Subscription (§20) or the Premium Subscription (§50) if you want your Sim to spend an extra few Simoleons. Note: These subscriptions are simply for gameplay features and will not impact your ability to create podcasts!
Choosing a Podcast Type:
Your Sim will have the opportunity to choose from twelve (12) podcast types. This includes:
• Beauty Podcaster
• Movie Podcaster
• Conspiracy Theorist Podcaster
• Health and Wellness Podcaster
+ more
Your Sim will receive a trait after they choose their preferred podcast type. The good news is that your Sim can choose as many podcast types as they like. (i.e. You can be a beauty and lifestyle podcaster!) See a few examples below:
Hosting a Podcast:
There are THREE (3) ways your Sim can host a podcast:
• A Computer
• The Camera and tripod (if you own the Moschino Stuff Pack)
• The Stationary Cameras (comes with the Get Famous Expansion Pack)
If you use the stationary cameras for your podcast, your Sim will need to STAND. However, if you use the tripod camera from the Moschino pack, your Sim will be able to sit. ALSO, if your Sim uses the computer to host a podcast, they can sit ANYWHERE, even if it's not in the same room as the computer. (the sofa, the floor, a chair, even outside)
Your Sim will take approximately 30mins - 1 hour to record the podcast. Afterwards, they will receive a random custom buff.
Paid Podcasts:
PlumbPod will pay your Sim §1000 for every podcast they upload. However, your Sim can only do this ONCE a day. Your Sim will also gain fame each time they upload a podcast episode.
Podcast Interactions:
I also created a few interactions in the case that your Sim wants to invite another Sim onto their podcast. Yes, your Sim will still be able to host their podcast and complete these interactions simultaneously! Once you click on the Sim, you will see the Podcast Interactions pie menu.
Under this pie menu, you can find the Host Interactions. NOTE: Your Sim will need to register for a podcast first before they can access this. A few of these interactions come with custom buffs and notifications, but NOT all.
NOTE: These interactions work better when your Sim host their podcasts on the tripod camera. It can still technically work on the stationary cameras, but NOT on the computer.
Enjoy, and happy podcasting!

Perfeita, obrigada <3
Hi there, I haven't been able to get this to work with the camera and tripod from the Moschino kit (no host podcast option when clicked), works fine from a computer. Any ideas? Thx!
In the event anyone else is having this problem, you have to use one of the larger video/stationary camera tripods from the Get Famous pack (not Moschino) to see the Host Podcast option.
Hiii! I translated your mod to ukrainian here's the link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/pereklad-modu-153048184?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
Hello! Seems the trypod is not working for me, is this conflict with OnlySim? I inly have the only sim interactions. Not able to record a podcast, in the tripor nor camera
I deleted the onlysim and, nop the action on the cameras to host a podcast is not showing. Not able to record the podcast. Or set if intervewer or host. Can you please update it? Thank you!
Hi, I'm seeing a few comments asking or saying this mod is broken. This mod is compatible with the latest game update/patch. If you are having issues, consider whether: You've deleted the old versions of the mod ENTIRELY. Delete first THEN replace. Do not just drag and overwrite. Delete your localthumbcache (PLEASE), repair your game if needed, make sure you have the requirements, (an updated XML Injector) and also understand that even if you've done everything right, yes there can still be bugs/issues on EA's end that are out of my control. Better Exceptions and MCC are wonderful tools they are not the end all be all. There can be issues that are unrelated, (and sometimes due to load order, that claim certain mods are the issue when they are not.) Also please ensure you're practicing good mod management.
Just remove all my mods and try this one by itself and not able to perform a group podcast... in any camera please update, thank youuu
I love this mod, but it is broken. I hope you can fix it. Thank you for all your hard work! I truly appreciate you.
Hi there, this mod is compatible with the latest version. If you are having issues, see my comment above. ^
its broken but i need it 😭😭
Hi there, this mod is not broken and compatible with the latest game version. see my comment above ^
MCCC Exception is telling me that your Podcast Tunings file is out of date? I'm taking it out of my folder until it's been addressed.
Hi there, this mod is not broken and compatible with the latest game version. see my comment above ^
Is this mod broken?
is this mod still broken??
Hey I'm still getting an endless loading screen with this mod. I tried it alone with just the xml injector so Its got to be this one.
Hii, I translated your mod into Portuguese-BR. Here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/137329960?collection=1674776
Hey, all. When I added the updated files to my game, it was still broken. I realized that in my excitement, I didn't actually delete the old files. Windows (and Macs) usually overwrites when new versions of a file are added to a folder, but some of the updated mods have fewer files than the older ones. For example, the reality show mod has three files now instead of four. Once I deleted the old version with 4 files and added the updated one with three, it worked. Hope this helps some of the people who say they're still broken. :)
Is there meant to be no script file? So sorry if its mentioned and I missed it but I read through and saw nothing about it so I'm just a little confused if it's on purpose or not.
What's included in the Zip file is all you need.
this is incredible, thank you!! I love giving my sims new hobbies 💞
When I load into my game it tell me that your mods have a conflict and that goes for this mod and robe after shower
This mod is amazing! Just found your mods. Would you make a mod where the sims can be an AMSR streamer and listen to the ASMR??
Omg an ASimR Podcast would be so cool!
I'd love an interaction for Sims to be able to listen to podcasts on stereos/headphones and gain skills from it - maybe randomized skills, maybe specific skills. That being said, this mod is already fantastic.
just curious if you have considered for this mod making it so the interactions for the podcast don't show until you start a podcast. Also making the interactions lead into each other to improve the quality. I am thinking something like Adeepindigos writing overhaul. so that writing a script increases liklihood of good buff something like that. Just struck me as odd that even without "creating a podcast" or filming an episode i can jump straight into uploading an episode. as is its just a click and waiting each day to make 1 k. also would be cool if instead of a base rate it was royalties based on how good the episode was. Just some ideas i was thinking about while playing with it. It really is a great addition to my current character because it gives him options to increase fame.
Hey, absolutely love this mod! Even made a cafe with a stage where i film the podcast. But just wondering if when i want to stop the podcast, do i just stop filming and uploading or is there a way to delete the podcast and thereby the trait?
Hola descargue el mod y no me sale nada acerca de el, lo elimine y volví a instalar pero aún así no me aparece me puedes ayudar????😞
Hi, when downloading a new update. Do you have to delete everything? Will it affect a sim who have already reached a certain level in the podcast mod?
i have alot of mods like this one on my game when I tend to update them and then put it back in my game they will be the same level skill but if I open the game without the mod inside the skill is gone since the mod is no longer in my mods folder, basically as long as you have this mod in your mods folder even when updated your sims will still have the skill just remember to remove the outdated file remove your package file then put the updated file into your mods folder x
Hello! I wonder if you can combine your mod with this one Adding those features : https://www.tumblr.com/miraissimworld/654605103328886784/radio-host-freelance-careerhobby-new There is a lot of gig and it was really complete but it’s retired for years. I still have the files if you need them
I haven’t downloaded yet but does it pay $100 or $1000 simoleons? in the game screenshot it said 100 but in your description it says 1000. Thanks!
Hi, hun it was initially 100, but in an update, I changed it to 1000 simoleons
Hi! This is such a cute mod, thank you for making it. I'm having an issue where I can't host podcasts on computer nor infront of my tripod. I can upload my podcast (that I didn't make lol), and I get the simoleans for it, but no host option. :( I updatted my XML injector.. so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Hi, hun then this may mean there is a conflict of sorts in your mods folder. Try deleting the mod, and reinstalling, but if that doesn't work then you might have to do the 50/50 method to find what is conflicting.
Do you need the Get Famous pack to do this?
Yes, she specified that in the description.
Would be cool if we could get the interactions added to the streaming drones as well <3 just an idea
Hey, I'm recording videos and making vlogs featuring my Sim, Zia, who lives in Oasis Springs. I have a question for ellesimsworld: I'm not sure how to start podcasting, and I can't seem to find the right camera for it. Can I use a computer instead of a camera for podcasting?
Hey hun, yes you can use any computer as well
I’m not sure if i’m doing something wrong but i can host a podcast on the computer fine, but there’s no host podcast on the tripod or camera and I really want guests to be able to join but it’s not working. Thank you!
Hi hun you would need the most updated version of the XML injector. It was recently updated.
I don't normally download career mods, but this one I grabbed so fast! I love they can sit on the couch, what!? That's so good! Thank you so much! You wouldn't be interested in a news caster mod would you... bc uh, that would be so epic! Making a studio for that would be so fun, may could use this for it just for story purposes! Sorry I'm rambling, lol! THANK YOU AGAIN!
Hi hun thank you for your kind words and the suggestion! 🤍
XML Injector has been updated
Ciao, non ci sarà una traduzione in italiano?
let me make my true crime podcast rn
Hey! I love the idea of podcasts so much, I was wondering if there's any problem with me translating this mod into Spanish. Thanks a lot for your work. 🙌🏻
Hi, hun you can translate it into Spanish.
ahhhh so excited i love listening to podcsst this going to be fun
Hey , have u ever think about translating your mods in others languages ? because they're really awesome !
The pipeline of failed sims celebrities to podcasts storyline about to be messssy!! Thank you for this queen!
I know this is a mini-mod, but I had a burst of inspiration. What if the podcasts success scaled off a Sim's Charisma skill? Potentially more money and followers based on that skill. I also had the idea to integrate more skills, but that could add pack requirements like Research and Debate from DU for Conspiracy Theorists and True Crimers or Logic for a BGC/lacking-pack fallback. I can see so much potential.
I can’t wait to play this in Game
Do you already have a gaming or news podcast in the mod?
hey , i don’t have the option to start the podcast or anything when i clicked a computer. i used a cc & non cc one as well, doesn’t show up on the menu. but i get stuff about podcast when i click on another sim.
Do you have the XML Injector installed? If you do, and that is not the issue, head to my Discord where I can better help you.
i love this so much. i think it would be really cool if you maybe make it so sims get more money for their podcasts as they grow followers but thats just a suggestion :)
Amazing Work!
ooooooh i love this, just subscribed <3
paying for your patreon was the smartest thing i could have ever done omg this is amazing
yassss! love this! thank you!
This is dope!!! I got a new let's play idea now... Thank You!
i had to sub to you because i love thissssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
