✨NEWS + ROADMAP [POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE]
Hey friends,
I hope you're all doing well as we're getting close to the end of 2025, wherever you are in the world! Here in France it's getting colder and darker by the day, but the first snow last week was kind of a comforting moment as winter starts!
I have lots of things to tell you today, announcing and releasing a new mod kit this week, a road map for the next few weeks and months, with mod news & upcoming updates, and personal news as well!
Just before we start, I have tested my mods in-game after the latest update, and all my current mods seem to be compatible with the latest patch (Version 1.119.109.1220) ✅ I haven't experienced any bug on my macOS computer but some of you have reported issues that I'm investigating (see down below). Please make sure to always include the last exception report in the BUG REPORTS form, without which I can't find the issues you might be experiencing. Thank you🙏 Now let's get into it!

Personal News
First I'd like to apologize for the lack of content recently. For the past few months, I've been on a psychiatry and mental health journey (I'm still in the process of an official ADHD diagnosis, which started months ago), with a prescription drug treatment that has been altering my brain and making me slower than ever before. After lots of medical appointments and tests, I'm getting close to the end of this journey, and I'm sure it will get better in a few months, with a new treatment and specialized therapy.
Thank you for your patience while I'm going through this very important moment of my life, mod updates can be slower, new projects are harder to complete, but my creative ideas have been exploding like a rocketship engine in my mind recently, and I've started to work on amazing projects I can't wait to share with you when I finally get the medical support I've been failing to seek my entire life..!
I'll let you know when things get better, hopefully early next year, and I'm pretty sure you'll notice it with the amount of content that's coming your way in 2026 👀🤭

New Mod Kit on Firday : Mystical Lights 🌙✨
I'm excited to annouce a new mod kit that will be out on Friday this week, this is a sequel to my other lamps mod kits that are already available: Cozy Lights and LUX Lights!
Now say hello... to Mystical Lights!
Mystical Lights is a collection of 8 New Lamps for your sims' homes, giving mystery and warmth to your builds! I had lots of fun designing these :)
On the left, "La Lampe Sablier", inspired by the design of a real french artifact I discovered recently, and on the right side is my "Lanterne Magique" in the Sims!!! It's a lamp I designed last year IRL, and I'm so happy to see it inside the game now, it will probably decorate the homes of hundreds of sims, and that couldn't make me happier 🥹
Here we have a couple stained glass Art Nouveau inspired Lamps, one in the style of Tiffany Lamps, and one as a lantern called "La Lampe Libellule" (Dragongly Famp). The glow here is in-game!! No reshade or anything needed, lamps will natuarlly glow with a gold tint at night, just like in Cozy Lights :)
A couple more like my "Lune d'Odette" lamp on the right, and the Galactic Astrolab Lamp on the left, with a holographic projection of a galaxy (work still in progress). There are a couple more lamps that you will discover when the mod is out! Stay tuned ;)
This new mod kit will be out on Friday, November 28th, and it will be cross compatible with Cozy Lights and LUX Lights, and I'm looking forward to complete a project linked to all of them: the LUMINOVA - Pro Lights Mod ! This new mod joining the Luminova Collection will give you more options for the lights settings in-game, with more colours to chose from, and even a way to add a glow around any lamp! It will be cross compatible with LUX Lights, Cozy Lights, Mystical Lights and Luminova!
Here's a little behind-the-scenes/work-in-progress picture of the "Sablier Lamp", made with Blender, Adobe Illustrator, and Procreate. Generative AI is never involved in the making of my designs.

Mod News (World Edit 3)
I've been working on a lot of new features for World Edit 3, and I'm aiming to finally launch this big project in January, as a mod collection (just like Plumfruit Collection, and the upcoming Lights Collection - more about that soon.)
One of the new features is the World Objects Catalogue, where you can create debug world objects depending on their type: bridges, buildings, trees, rocks and cliffs, and much more! This will make it way easier to find and create these debug objects, and you'll be able to create and move them ANYWHERE thanks to the new World Cursor tool! Here's a little demo down below (work-in-progress!)
I've also been working on new interactive buildings like the hospital / health clinic, which has lots of gameplay features and even a little adventure moment with a sim: Doctor Goodcare!
Go to the dentist, doctor's office, enroll in the universal healthcare program, get pregnancy healthcare, and more! (Demo down below)
More demos and news for World Edit will come your way in the following weeks ;)
----------------------------
Mod Updates
I'm also working on mod updates for Luminova and Plumfruit Essentials, that will come out in December! I'm making Plumfruit Essentials cross-compatible with another creator's mod due to popular demand (more about that soon.) Thank you for your patience while I figure all of this out!
Also, I'm investigating the various Last Exceptions/Better Exceptions reports some of you have experienced! To help me figure it out, please make sure to always include the last exception report text in the BUG REPORTS form, so I can find the issues you're experiencing and try to fix them. Thanks a lot!

Roadmap
The new updated schedule:
Dec. 17th: Mystical Lights - Public Release
Dec. 24th: Plumfruit Essentials - 2.0 UPDATE
2026: all projects postponed until further notice, arnie/milo’s on a mental health break!
----------------------------
That's it for today friends! I hope it's worth the wait in the end with these upcoming projects and updates, and I can't wait to finally get better with my medical journey, so I can be more stable in my work and release schedule, but also in my life in general. Thank you so much for being so patient and understanding, I love my community for that 🥹🫶
Have a wonderful day and week, see you on Friday (Nov. 28) for the new Mystical Lights release!
Love, Arnie 💜 (also known as milo IRL)
