-------------------------
This mod requires the Seasons EP. Enhanced by Eco Lifestyle, Bust the Dust Kit, and Snowy Escape.
Upgrade your homes with the PlumbBros Central Air Conditioning and Heating System! An alternative to the Thermostat/Temperature system that came with the Seasons EP.
In The Sims 4 Seasons, Temperature is represented by states like Freezing, Cold, Cool, Warm, Hot, Burning, instead of using number values we usually see in real life, and also seen in The Sims 3. The Thermostat introduced a whole new way to affect your sims’ home like never seen before in the franchise, however it only provides two simple states that affect your bills more than it affects your sims.
PlumbBros introduces realistic temperature flux to the indoors, with a fully simulated HVAC system that is dependent on how you build and optimize your homes.
-------------------------
Includes an Active Career (Base Game Compatible!)
Join PlumbBros and work your way up to an HVAC Specialist through a commission-based Active Career! Study HVAC Knowledge and share it with other Sims in your neighborhoods.
Daily Work Orders will take your sim around town to complete tasks like providing Consultations, Repairing Condensers, Replacing Air Filters, Recharging Refrigerant, Insulation Installation, and Repairing Water Mains + Plumbing.
Includes 7+ unique objects with vfx, animations, and custom functionality.
Outdoor Condenser Unit
Water Heater Tank
Wall and Floor Air Vents
Disposable Air Filters
Spinning Roof Turbines
HeyHoney Thermostat
Water Main Valve
Ideas for the Future
Active Career: Emergency calls in the middle of the night
Active Career: On-call weekends
Apartments: Landlord gameplay for maintenance
Apartments: Predefined & locked insulation type depending on the building.
More object swatches once functionality seems solid.
More interactions with your off-duty local technicians.
More gameplay for hot water features (laundry?)
Object upgrades for instant hot water, less condenser maintenance.
Smart alerts when an HVAC system issue is detected.
Eco mode for Thermostat to automatically adjust temperature for maximum savings.
Integration with the Geothermal Lot Trait.
Ability to affect temperature with open windows depending on functionality included in High School Years.
Let me know below in the comments or on Discord what ideas and suggestions you have!

lot51_plumbbros.ts4script error its broken idk if you know
It's not broken but okay
what does everyone do if they are renting an apartment in san myshuno. Where do they place the water heater and every object needed??
For me, i just use bbmoveobjects and out the water heater outside of the apart. It works just fine for me thankfully!
I keep getting exceptions for this download via mcc. I have the new pack. It says it has something to do with the HVAC.
I'm running into this, too (and BE is throwing that exception, too). I also didn't have the option to purchase insulation from the technician, either.
For some reason whenever my Technician comes over to fix something or come over in general it doesnt allow me to invite them inside..
This is an issue in both PlumbBros and Simzlink that I'll have fixed in their next updates. I will try to upload tomorrow!
Do you have the version for before the patch? I’m still scared to update but would love to play with this mod
Hi! I've uploaded 1.0.4 to the post, that should be compatible.
still not working :(
you're amazing thank you for updating!
Finally a realistic mod that looks fantastic. Thank you for the time in creating this!
Yes It's finally here I'm so happy. THANK YOU!
That looks amazing! Just became a patreon to test the mod, so excited! I'll translate it into FR and write a review about it for when it comes public ❤️ Thank you for your hard and quality work !
Been waiting for this for a long time! Finally!
