Plumble — The Dating App For Your Sim’s Phone | Preview

A dating app for your Sims. Swipe on the phone, match, text back and forth, and meet up for a real date at home or out in town. About 3 in 4 profiles are brand-new singles Plumble brings to town; the rest are singles from your save.

Base game compatible. No packs, no XML Injector, no other mods needed.

SWIPING

Phone > Plumble. Young Adults and up. You only see Sims who'd be attracted to your Sim, never family.

  • Like — about 1 in 3 turn into a match. A full profile and a good fit raise the odds.

  • Nope — they come back around after 7 days.

  • Super Plumb — if they'd have said no, a 25% chance they say yes anyway.

10 free likes a day (20 or 40 in Settings). Nope is always free. Swipe 10 times in 2 hours and your Sim gets Swipe Fatigue.

YOUR PROFILE

  • Photos — 6 slots. Pick the kind of photo: gym mirror selfie, beach day, holding a fish.

  • Bio — write your own, or let Plumble write one from your Sim's traits and job.

  • Prompts — answer up to 3 of 20, like "My most irrational fear".

  • Interests — filled in from your Sim's Likes.

  • Flags — up to 3 green flags and 3 red flags.

  • Looking for, family plans, and who you want to see: men, women or everyone, which ages, your home world or every world.

6 filters narrow the deck. Shared Likes and Same goal are free; the other 4 come with Gold.

CHATTING

Every text comes with 3 ready replies that answer what they just said, or type your own. Plumble reads what kind of message you typed (a question about their job, a compliment, a joke, sad news, goodnight) and they reply to that, with their real job, age and plans filled in.

  • Texts arrive like real phone texts: a buzz, their face, and a speech bubble with your replies. Some matches text you first.

  • They ask you questions and talk about their own interests: a Geek asks about games, a Foodie about cooking.

  • Quiet Sims (Loner, Socially Awkward, Unflirty, Gloomy) let you carry the chat.

  • Most replies land within minutes. Slower at work, nothing while they sleep, later for Night Owls.

  • Some chats go dry, some ghost you, some unmatch.

Over 1,000 lines to pick from and 1,200+ replies, so chats rarely repeat.

TRYING TO MEET

After 6–10 good messages they start pushing to meet, and often ask you out themselves. Stall and they get impatient: "ok are we going to meet or are we pen pals now". Keep stalling and they lose interest.

On the day they text "still on for later?", sometimes "running 5 min late", and "I'm here!" when you arrive.

DATES

Your place or a spot in town, any day up to a week ahead, 10 AM to 10 PM. They really show up. A date lasts 6 hours and gets a grade:

  • A — a goodnight kiss, and a text within a couple of hours

  • B — a good time, and a text after

  • C — maybe a polite "thanks for tonight"

  • D or F — nothing. They don't text.

Two good dates and you can ask "so... what are we?"

MYSTERY MATCH

1 a day (3 with Gold). No name, no face, and their texts come from an anonymous number. They're revealed after 3–4 good replies.

PLANS

  • Free — 10 likes and 1 Super Plumb a day

  • Plus, §60/week — unlimited likes, Rewind, Travel mode, 2 Super Plumbs a day, 1 Boost a week

  • Gold, §120/week — Plus, see who likes you, Top Picks, 3 Super Plumbs and 3 Mystery Matches a day

  • Platinum, §200/week — Gold, a note with your Super Plumbs, read receipts, Incognito, 5 Super Plumbs a day, 2 Boosts a week

  • Boost, §40 — seen first for an hour

Paid weekly in simoleons. If you can't pay, the plan lapses.

DRAMA

  • Red flags — about 1 in 5 matches won't stop talking about the gym or their ex, is a scammer asking for §500, or is a catfish (someone else shows up to the date)

  • Married matches — a few married Sims are on the app

  • Getting caught — if your Sim is taken, their partner can find the profile

How hard it lands is up to you: Mild, Real or Brutal.

THE GAME'S OWN SYSTEMS

"Met on Plumble" shows in the Relationships panel, with what they're looking for and their family plans. Great dates leave a lasting Enamored sentiment, bad ones Hurt. Your Sim can get the "Go on a date" want, and 4 rejections in a week gives them a Fear of Rejection that a great date cures. Dates go on the phone calendar with their face.

THE TOWN

  • Townies match and date on Plumble too (Off, Sometimes or Often)

  • Couples who met on Plumble get engaged, marry and move in

  • Others in your household swipe on their own

12 MOODLETS

It's a Match!, Nobody Swiped Back, Swipe Fatigue, Boosted, Pre-Date Butterflies, Great Date, Stood Up, Ghosted, Catfished, Caught on Plumble, Found Their Profile, Deleted the App Together.

SETTINGS

  • Consequences — Mild, Real, Brutal

  • Notifications — Off, Rare, Normal, Lots

  • Prices — Cheap, Normal, Pricey

  • Free likes a day — 10, 20, 40

  • Plumble singles in town — 15, 30, 50

  • Townies date on Plumble — Off, Sometimes, Often

  • Incoming texts — pop up as phone texts, or notifications only

  • On or off — Mystery Match, people messaging first, typing alerts, new singles, your Sim using the phone, town couples marrying, scams, catfish, married Sims, getting caught, household swiping

GOOD TO KNOW

  • Each save keeps its own small Plumble file. Loading a save without saving first rolls Plumble back to match it.

  • Plumble singles you never talk to leave town after two weeks, so your save doesn't fill up.

  • Updating: delete the old Plumble files first. The version is in the filename.

INSTALL

Drop both files into your Mods folder (one sub-folder deep is fine):

  • OtterStudio_Plumble_v1.0.0.package

  • OtterStudio_Plumble_v1.0.0.ts4script

Then turn on Script Mods:

  • Game Options → Other → tick "Enable Custom Content and Mods"

  • AND "Script Mods Allowed" → restart the game

If you catch a bug, tell me and I'll get it patched.

This is amazing! Just a few days ago I was searching for exactly a mod like this, with real swipe options without needing DLC like Lovestruck. Can’t wait to try this mod, TY!😍
