If you find a “broken link”; Please refer first to the Download Links page. These links are always the most updated for any set. If you do not see a link that matches the name of the set you’re looking for, make sure there wasn’t an updated and renamed version made.

And yes, this was planned from the beginning too because of my (Frac) fear of spiders! No worries, they were released at the same time and sometimes the fantasy stuff has the stronger attraction. For anyone else concerned, yes there is the traditional silk worm way!

They are in Hobbies misc but the thumbnails may be misleading? They're not very unique. You can always try looking for them in the Build Mode though! I believe (going off the top of my head here) they're either in the Gardening or Trees Categories. If all else fails, I suggest using the Mining Collection folder to find them.

Hello! You are correct, currently there is no Portuguese translation. English is my primary language so that's what I go with, HOWEVER we fully support ANYONE doing other language translations!

If someone wants to do translations for the Barnyard Bash sets, we can certainly provide you with the resources, or if you've done them already and want to share, we welcome those too!

Smonoff's files were before YA was introduced I believe. Midge made changes overall to the new controller, and I am not sure if she made all that compatible and am unable to ask her since she's gone on hiatus.

Silken Threads Fantasy Flavor - Silk Spiders

ARACHNOPHOBES BEWARE: The original spinners themselves have found their way into your game. This set allows your Sims to raise spiders for Spider Silk.

Threads so delicate and yet so sturdy; the gameplay loop Sims who understand the creatures around them, even the dangerous ones, can be of great use when treated with respect. By giving food and shelter to these critters, sims will receive valuable spider silk thread in return.

To get to know Spider, sims will want to keep a Leatherbound Bestiary on their person. This acts as an inventory tool to bypass any restrictions (aside from skill level restrictions) with spiders.

These spiders of unusually large size will hop around the lot and go about their day. They can be interacted with and if a Web Arch is present on a lot, they will spin spider webs that can be gathered by sim. Female Silk Spider have a 10% chance to lay an Egg Sack every 24 hours (Both variables BCON tunable). Each come in 5 color variations.

If slaughtered, their carcasses can be used as food points, or Silk Spider Venom may be extracted. This venom is consumable and causes delirium, sickness, or somethings nothing if a sim drinks it. It's a good dare for any party game!

Food and shelter for these roaming critters comes in the form of the Web Arch. Various animal carcasses can be offered to silk spiders here and after 24 hours (BCON tunable) sims can gather either the silk spider's web, or an egg sack to hatch more silk spiders. It takes silk spiders 48 hours (tunable) to hatch and then grow.

Feed Spider, 24h later, collect web or egg.

IMPORTANT: Spider Silk has been added to Flowing Fabrics as of November 1 2025. Any files from earlier than that date, will not allow you to use Spider Silk. Get an up-to-date version.

Silken Threads - Silk Resource & Production

Silken Threads allows your Sims to gather and raise silkworms in order to get Silk. This Silk can then be used in Flowing Fabrics to create luxurious fabric that can be used for tailoring.

From Worms to Silk; the overall gameplay loop To start creating silk, you need two things: mulberry leaves and young silkworms. You can harvest the leaves from the mulberry tree. The young silkworms do not necessarily need to be harvested if you have a mulberry tree on the lot and it is not winter. Both of these resources are used in the silkworm feeder tray.

Once the tray has mulberry leaves stocked and it detects the presence of mulberry trees/has young silkworms stocked, it will start producing mature silkworms. The mature silkworms can then be placed in a silkworm cocoon box. This will transform the mature silkworms into silkworm cocoons. The cocoons are then used in the silk boiler (requires fuel and water) and will give you a spool of silk. This spool of silk can then be used in Flowing Fabric’s stations to create silk fabric.

IMPORTANT: Silk has been added to Flowing Fabrics as of November 1, 2025. Any files from earlier than that date, will not allow you to use silk. Get an up-to-date version.

Fetch Water

All fired Up!

Download - SFS

You know what? We've never tested in an apartment setting, and neither have any of our beta testers. So this is a new find indeed. Off the top of my head, I would suggest using the "auto feed" objects, of the fetch water rock and grazing grass patch. Livestock scan a whole lot looking for their specific GUIDs and if found fulfill their hunger/water requirements without the need to fill troughs. I don't think it will stop them from doing any other livestock things (pregnancy, death checks, etc) but they are least won't die of starvation.

We do not offer support for modifying or cloning our files beyond understanding basic tuning( like BCON timers, crafting point amounts, prices, etc), and as stated in our policy, we do not offer support to anyone who wants to edit further beyond that. Sun&Moon items are typically more complex than just swapping of GUIDs/Meshes/Textures.

Apologies for lag in answers. Fire and I (Frac) have both been handling some real life things; Fire some personal and me some post surgical so ya know.

Anyway, the recipes for older sets can often be found in the Recipe Tome. It is a separate object placed on a lot that a sim clicks to read. For nails, it's simply 1 iron ingot. If you're having trouble still despite having said item in sim's inventory, check some other factors like maybe if you have a residential business then the business owners inventory is only being looked at sometimes (a thing being changed in the next update).
