Bug Fixes - Multiple Sets

Multiple set bug fixes have been made from 4/20/25 through 4/24/25. All set main archives have been updated to reflect these fixes. However since they are single files here and there they are being provided as a standalone archive for convenience for a period of time. If you have downloaded the main sets AFTER 4-24-2025, you do not need to download these files.

Please see below the cut for an exact list of files changed. Thank you to those that reported bugs.

Buzzin' About

Bug fix applied to Mead Tankard in regards to how the game checks for the Vampire life state on a sim.

SunMoon-Brewing_DrinkingTankard_Edible

Grapes of Rad

Bug fix applied to bulk wine crate. Now grants 12 bottles of wine instead of 10, makings the packing and unpacking amounts even.

SunMoon-Wine_BulkCrate

Fetch Water 4.0

Bug fix applied to Maxis Style Cactus plants; Harvesting of cactus seedlings will no longer throw an error.

SunMoon-FetchWater_MaxisCactus1

SunMoon-FetchWater_MaxisCactus2

Flowing Fabrics

Bug fix applied to Wool Winder station, fixed Inventory Tool Check - Now points to Wool Shears to allow for Trait Bypass.

SunMoon-Fabric_CraftingStation_WoolWinderDropSpindle

Forging On

Bug fix applied to both crafting stations to remove making of the now obsolete Fillet Knife item.

SunMoon-Smithing_CraftingStation_Anvil

SunMoon-Smithing_CraftingStation_AnvilStumpBarrel

Gone Fishin' 2.0

Bug fix applied to cleaning and packing station of dialog being fixed for stocking small fish.

SunMoon-Fishing_CraftingStation_FishCleaningPacking

Loads 'O Laundry 2.0

Bug fic applied to grabbing dirty clothes piles, Go To Relative Position has been changed from "Anywhere near, facing" to "Anywhere near, any direction" for when clothing drops "facing" inaccessible directions to sims. Sims should now be able to pick them up without further issues.

SunMoon-Laundry_DirtyClothesPile

Quali-Tea

The recipe note pad states that for batch teas to multiple ingredients by 5, and the pots were only using 1 water bucket. This was actually intended behavior to make 5 cups of certain teas with 1 bucket per batch. The note pad recipes have been updated to reflect that water remains one a 1 bucket needed basis and other the proper amount of other ingredients needed for batch making.

Dalish Tea Pot had some brewing errors as well as dialog errors. Should now be able to properly brew elfroot singles/batches and royal elfroot singles/batches.

A bug report was submitted about the Drying Tea Life pile reverting back to Fresh status if placed in inventory. This is not a bug, and is intended behavior.

SunMoon-Tea_RecipeNotePad

SunMoon-Tea_Teapot_DalishInspired

Savvy Stonework

Bug fix applied to the test bhav for items that require level 7+ of skills and Writ of Mastery. Code was accidentally looking at a different item GUID than the actual Stonemason Writ.

SunMoon-Stonemason_CraftingStation_StoneRefineAndSculpt

Spice of Life

Bug fix applied to counting numbers/items of grinding vanilla and cocoa.

250 Followers Gift - Build Mode

I somehow managed to get 250 Followers. Time for another followers gifts. This gift is full of build mode stuff. As usual I included previews, swatches, meshs and compressed everything.

First I got 20 recolors of @fracturedmoonlight's Fairytale Romance Redux Set. 10 recolors of the frame, 5 of the window glass and I also recolored the doors in AL wood colors.

The next part are 16 recolors of a wooden plank texture by Kalponic Studios turned into a floor.

I also made 21 rather random recolors of Wood For Sims 2 barn stairs. I used @zerographic's PSD to make them.

The last gift are 20 brick walls made from 9 different textures.

Potions A Plenty - Potion Brewing Set

Pulling from most every other set of Sun&Moon for potion ingredients, this set gives the sims the ability to brew various potions that affect moods, skills, life states, aging, pregnancy, health, and a variety of other mostly harmless effects.

The Quick Feature Review/Set Breakdown below the cut.

Download - SFS

View Use/Instruction Manual

The Potion Crafting Bench - The heart of the set itself, the potion bench is where components are stored, prepared, and combined into batches of potions. At this station, sims can do the following.

Practice potion making and brew a total of 56 potions that have varying effects when drank by sims

Earn Logic Skill and Science Enthusiasm

Stock materials

Order Supply Bundles to facilitate quicker potion making

Obtain a Writ of Mastery in potion crafting

Keep a tidy workstation by keeping things clean

A set of “basic” potions, and their ingredients will be considered REQUIRED for function. Do not remove those files. Let the manual guide you.

Access to these is dictated by logic skill level as well as a writ of mastery/Creature Life State/Traits.

This station has 28 decorative slots, as well as a decorative mode to enable/disable effects and an "in use" look at will.

Story Mode Enabled - Skip all the ingredients and steps, just enjoy the end products, or just run the animations on a station for the ease of taking pictures.

*New Feature* - Station Cleanliness. As the station is used, it will obtain dirty points. This dirty level affects the outcomes of potion crafting and increases failure chances. Make sure to keep the cauldron clean to ensure quality products!

*New Feature* - Supply Ordering. For a flat rate, sims can buy a bulk order of various materials needed for any potion. They will be added directly to the station's crafting counts.

All potions can be found in Hobbies/Logic. Complete Danish and Portuguese translations. If you'd like to translate into your native language, please share your strings with us and we'll update the set proper!

Inventory Tools & New Items

Botanical Book - Pretty and useful. Inventory Tool.

Writ of Mastery - Apothecary Version. Inventory Tool.

Crate of Jars - 6 glass jars needed for potion making.

Cauldron Dregs - Waste produced from cleaning the station or failing in potion making.

Bonus Items

Reference Tome - In game recipe book for all potions

Counter Split OMSP - Give maxis counters a chance to hold more things!

Display Shelves - 9 decorative slots, two versions.

Apothecary Todd Cart and Pavilion - Previously released sets bundled into this set; they have been optimized and renamed, please remove the old versions.

Potion Specifics

Potions come in 5 types: Basic, Folk Remedy Potions, Arcane Potions, Creature/Lifestate Potions, and Poison Potions. The more fantastical the potion, the more complex it is to make.

Please be aware that depending on your playstyle you will have to add more files from other sources or you can delete certain files from this set without worry; For example, if you do not play your game with creature life states or custom creature life states, you may delete anything related to those potions, provided it is not used in another “basic” potion.

Potions are NOT recolorable and will not be made so in the future. If you wish to alter the bottle/potion colors yourself, this may be done in the properties/categorized properties tab of each subset txmt in SimPe, using the stdMatDiffCoef line.

Potions Vs. Teas: You will notice that many potions have the same effects as previously released teas from the Quali-Tea set. So what’s the difference? 

Teas are based on cooking and logic skills only. Potions function more on Logic skill level and a Writ of Mastery, OR Witch/Warlock state, and other traits.

Teas are single cup per crafting interactions (except basic hunger teas). Potions will always produce in a batch of 6.

In some cases, Teas require MORE ingredients to make, whereas Potions require LESS ingredients but higher Logic skill and rarer/less natural ingredients.

While potions can have the same effect as a similar tea, more risk is involved with taking them and sims can experience adverse/opposite of intended effects.

Super Pottery Set - Texture Completer Set

@clstldrmr83 recently asked for these texture files I was using for the @sunmoon-starfactory Dishware Controller packs, which reminded me that I actually did make them with matching the Super Pottery Set by @fireflowersims in mind and went ahead and did the recolor packs for that set as well. No point in holding onto them when they can be released now, right? Right!

You may notice that Reds, Blues, and Greens are missing from these and that as intentional as those colors already existed in the original pottery set textures, I just made a matching Blue Leaves one and then all the other color variations.

Bonus "Skyrim Glazed White" textures as well. All compressed. Textures base credits to Funktasm at Nexus Mods.

Unofficial Links

There was recently an incident where a simmer was threatening that they were going to reupload Sun&Moon content to other file hosting sites other than SFS. Apparently this user was experiencing that thing that SFS does every now and then when traffic peaks and servers are chugging and downloading things takes way longer than it should...which YES that does happen. Most of us shrug, and come back another day.

As you all know, we do not mirror our links. The sets are large and complex most often and it has been a decision to keep to SimFileShare as our only host of files. Is it perfect? No. Neither is any other filesharing site out there. If you've been in the community long enough you remember the great "MediaFryer" incident for instance, and we all roll our eyes at Box these days for their link switching. Are there other sites? Yes, but they don't have free storage, capacity, or are catered to this very now niche hobby. At this time, we will continue to NOT mirror links.

All that said, let it be a reminder: If you are not downloading your Sun&Moon sets from the official Sun&Moon SFS account, or other sanctioned spaces (such as is the case when we point to other creator mods) then consider the files you have downloaded to be OUTDATED and UNSUPPORTED by Sun&Moon. We take no responsibility for files that are not in our control from others who had re-uploaded them in other places or altered them for their own use.

Happy simming.

Poll Time: Pictures In Manuals

Frac here: While updating some manuals for upcoming releases, I found myself inserting pictures into some sections that would make the written directions more clear or helpful. That of course got me thinking...would anyone else like that? So I'm asking...do you?

[fracturedmoonlight]

Hello :) I was just wondering if you'd perhaps consider making the same changes you did on Rebecah's Pet Stories Dog Training Items for Chris Hatch's version? Or perhaps you could tell me what you did to make them recolorable with subsets so I could potentially take a stab at it if not, though I've never really done anything like that before. Is there any particular reason you went for Rebecah's version over Chris Hatch's? Obviously both are great and a lot is down to personal preference but to me it seems like Rebecah's training outcomes are random whereas CH's are calculated with an agility skill and there's a whole show system, so I'd prefer the latter. But, perhaps I'm unaware of some concerns over CH's version or some particular benefit to Rebecah's? Thank you!

I went with Rebecah's because I was not aware Chris Hatch has a version.

Though to make them recolorable, I basically had to break the mesh into parts and then do the usual. If you give me a link I can take a look at them and see what modifications are needed. I assume if they were just pulled from Pet Stories, they have the same issues, and thus is could be simple as a mesh swap with joints and adding in a subset.

@jellymeduza OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. The lack of morphs on these things have been the BANE of their creation and I just could never get the morphs to work. I'm so glad someone felt them worthy of updating to standard. <3

Animated Bonehilda jaw added to various Bonehilda outfits

@simstralia's animated Bonehilda's skull is such a quality of life upload. However, the outfits I'm using weren't included within the Bonehilda collection. Therefore, I took @simstralia's animated skull and slapped it onto:

Sentate's Bonehilda maid outfit & Bonehilda head as a hairstyle

MidgeTheTree's Sentate version of Bonehilda NPC maid outfit*

@freezerbunny-sims2's Skeleton Gearhead

*if you are using MidgeTheTree's Sentate version of Bonehilda NPC maid outfit, you shouldn't use Sentate's original Bonehilda outfit and hairstyle - they are incorporated into Midge's Bonehilda NPC maid outfit.

My edits are meant to replace original cc - these are not new meshes. If you put my edits, delete the original meshes. I changed filenames to make it easy to distinguish the originals from my animated skull edit.

I made sure to fit the UV map of @simstralia's animated skull to the respective meshes, so any recolors of the aforementioned outfits that you have are still valid.

Moreover, I only included edited meshes, so you need to get recolors separately by visiting the linked uploads.

FracturedMoonlight's Don't Bite The Hand with morphs

I added morphs to @fracturedmoonlight's pet bowls. Now the pet food will gradually disappear as pets eat.

They look quite silly as the food shrinks (and grows when a Sim fills a bowl), but at least you will be able to see a bowl needs refilling.

Some bowls have some scraps left in the empty state, so they are easy to tell apart. However, some bowls are completely empty int he empty state, so you have to read catalog descriptions to see which bowl you are buying.

I changed filenames to make it easy to distinguish the originals from my animated bowls edits. If you put my edits, you have to manually delete the originals.

hello! I love your dome roofs, but was wondering if you could please tell me where the windows with the greenery hanging down from them in the preview picture are from? and the moon object that hangs from the ceiling?

They are from the Ole Fairybulosa set. You can get the files from an archive here on @sims2packrat: https://sims2packrat.tumblr.com/post/638209023818235904/olemantikers-ts2-content-saved

The moon object is from MTS: https://modthesims.info/d/494204/give-me-the-moon.html

Sorry to ask years after this was created, but For the Barnyard Bash - Ultimate Livestock & Poultry Collection, I have added the files that were required like the BB_Nooks And Niches & SunMoon-TimeOut, but for some reason I am still getting the blue flash with only the "Poultry Coop - Wicker" found in the Pets location in Build/Buy Mode. Any suggestions?

Looks like the documentation for Wicker items was left out when information was transferred over to a new document. Thank you for pointing it out. It's been fixed now. You need the Dining Chair from Basketweaving 4.1.

In the future, if you have any flashing blue you can download this smaller cache of files indicated in the Quickstart Guide that are common textures sources for everything else if you don't want a whole new set. Recolor not included.

Updated 12-31-23

@niamh-sims asked about getting a completer set of sorts to the original size of my dome roof deco. She's a wonderful simming friend and beta tester for me, so I'm happy to grant a wish!

So now everyone gets the original size, now named Large, with updated description to indicate better how big of an octagon it fits, along with three more sizes Medium (3 Tiles Wide), Small (2 Tiles Wide) and X-Small (1 Tile Wide). The new sizes are of course repoed to the original Large. Like the original, you may need to use move objects cheats to get a refined position on top of your walls.

I've updated the original archive including some filenames for easier identification of the meshes themselves. Everything is compressorized, and NH enabled.

Deco Dome Roof

Honestly, I made this for me and a specific build…because I discovered that the dome shaped roof that the game provides you…DOES NOT HAVE A PROPER INSIDE. Which ruined all my plans. So I made one. Shingles on the outside, and a “mural” dome on the inside. Does anyone else have a use for it? No idea, but sharing it anyway. Move Objects needed for exact placement in some cases.

Loads 'o Laundry 2.0

2 years after the release of Loads 'o Laundry, we now present: Loads 'o Laundry 2.0: a much-improved version of the Laundry mod and system!

Several gameplay features have been improved and many annoyances bigger and smaller have been resolved! A large number of new objects have also been added for your enjoyment. Sims 3 and 4 players may see some familiar things... Overall, it represents a marked improvement over the original version.

Furthermore, the Laundry Mod now comes with full language support for Dutch, French and European Portuguese with more coming soon...

Before proceeding further, make sure you have the following requirements installed:

Requirements

Easy Lot Check

Easy Inventory Check

Smarter EP Check

Money Globals

Time-out Controller

Fetch Water (water bucket)

Suds 'n Bubbles (for making your own detergent)

Flowing Fabrics (for the fresh outfit)

Various master meshes (see Manual)

A more detailed list of requirements as well as detailed instructions can be found in the Manual.

Gameplay overview and Download links below the cut

Gameplay Overview

Your Sims will now generate laundry if their hygiene is low enough. This requires the Laundry Global Mod (offered separately from the objects) as well as a Laundry-related object being present on the lot.

Sims may store their laundry in a hamper. Sometimes automatically if it's close enough and your Sim is inclined to be neat....

Wash and dry your clothes: a variety of both historic and modern, manual and mechanical ways to wash and dry your laundry are included.

Tired of the laundry piling up? Simply place a "Laundry-Begone-Box" on your lot and your Sims will no longer generate laundry!

Laundry Global Mod

The global mod is the backbone of the laundry system. You will need it in order to have your sims produce laundry. As it is a Global Mod, it is in its own rar. The Laundry Mod also has various trait-related features for you to enjoy:

Support for the Nevernude, Neat and Slob trait

Support for the following custom lifestates: Ghost, Mermaid & SkeleBro

NEW: Support for @anachronisims' Nudist trait

NEW: Hamper magic! If your sims are neat enough, they may automatically put their dirty laundry in the hamper (if there's one in the room)

MAC-compatible!

You need to have the file "SunMoon-Laundry_Hamper_Wicker_Round-REQUIRED" in your folder in order for the global mod to work!

Washers, Dryers, Tubs and Lines

Your Sims may wash their laundry using a wide variety of both manual tubs and modern washers. Both of these require detergent to use. Of course, after your laundry has been washed, you can dry them using either a dryer or a line. Just make sure not to hang your laundry outside on a rainy day. Just a mall overview of the features offered:

Laundromat mode: run your own laundromat business at home or on a community lot! Sims will actually wash their dirty laundry! Of course, it works for visiting Sims too!

NEW: @anachronisims Big Spender Trait now effects the likelihood of a Sim using a laundromat machine

NEW: Stock your washer or tub with a detergent of your choice; no longer will you need an entire box of detergent for a small load, now one detergent will last multiple loads!

NEW: 2 extra detergents have been added. You can now choose between a Box or Bottle of detergent, Soap Solution or even a Baggy of Soap Nuts!

NEW: The fabulous @jellymeduza has created a fantastic little ceiling rack for drying your laundry

NEW: Many more washers and dryers straight from the Sims 3 and 4

NEW: Modern laundry detergent vendor. You can still access any laundry product still despite its looks.

Custom sounds and animations: not only does laundry come with custom (Sims 4) animations courtesy of @mortia, there are also some custom sounds!

Color Controller

This set also comes with a "Color Controller". This object allows you to choose the look of not only your newly-spawned laundry, but also how the fabric on your drying lines looks like! Use only ONE per lot.

Bonus

Another new feature is the (optional) support for @lazyduchess Laundry token: players with FT installed, have the option of downloading his laundry mod and getting the same slower motive decay for comfort when changing into different clothes using our fresh outfit object. Players without FT and/or this token will get a small bonus to the comfort motive instead. This is NOT available for MAC-users! You will need the following files from his mod should you want this feature:

ld_BecksLaundryMotiveDecayController

ld_BecksLaundryMotiveDecayToken

Now for what you have all been waiting for: the download links. REMOVE all old files before updating! File names have been changed!

Color Trait Enabled Writing Quills

THIS IS A DEFAULT REPLACEMENT

Blatantly inspired by @episims who just made a pen one. We don't use pens in Medieval Fantasy Kitchen Sink Land, so I made one for colored feather quills instead! Sims with a color trait in their inventory will pick the corresponding quill. Works for doing homework, university assignments, writing a diary, filling crosswords, drafting, and restocking. With no traits in inventory sims will use the White Quill.

Based off on the DR done by Sunni which I recolored at one time, I've expanded the color selection and enabled them to work with @episims Color Traits. So you'll need those for this to work. You'll also need the usual trait mods such as Easy Inventory Check and trait_MAIN, which I assume you already have.

Since this file is based on episims' own, that means that you no longer need the Menaceman44's diary pen fix and it also works with their updated simlogical school files. See their post for more details on that.

Hm...this is an interesting concept that I didn't think about at all but REALLY like. This could possibly implemented into the hunting set update that is occurring and also breeds possibilities for "domesticating wild animals" as well in a sense. You still hunt them...you just capture instead of kill.

Good idea! I'm going to throw it into the features to be considered pile!

mod idea: Wild Horse Spawner

Sun&Moon released the “Au Natural Pet Food Set” and “The Game’s Afoot Set”, which I really like. I thought, it would be nice to have a Spawner, that spawns wild horses, which sims can capture. Capturing a horse would be very exhausting. Success is based on their body skill. Once they’re successful, a mare, foal or stallion of Sun&Moon’s “Horsin’ Around - Horse Livestock Set” will be added to their inventory.

[fracturedmoonlight]

*SCREAMS* Thank you! I requested something like this a few months back and gave up on it. After a long hiatus it is absolutely lovely to come back to seeing someone made a thing I desperately wanted. Time to go chuck ALL other engagement/wedding band defaults and accessory clutter. No longer needed!

Engagement and Wedding Ring Stones by Color Traits

This mod defaults the wedding ring with a new jeweled mesh and makes engagement and wedding ring stones appear in the wearer’s favorite color if they have a favorite color trait in their inventory.

If the sim has more than one favorite color in their inventory, the alphabetically highest will rule the color. Sims without a favorite color will have white stones.

Important! This mod is meant to replace the earlier engagement ring mod as well as pforest's version of it. Use one of the previous versions if you only want engagement rings to change color. With this mod, both engagement and wedding rings will change color.

The stone colors used in this mod for both rings are the ones from pforest's version. The new wedding ring mesh is also by pforest.

Download (SFS) (alternate) - the file is compressed.

Easy Inventory Check is required. The mod is compatible with the engagement ring mesh default by pforest. It can also be used together with txmt replacements for ring bands.

Technical info: the new wedding ring mesh is 927 polys. Many thanks to awesome @pforestsims for generously making it!
