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.
