I’ve adopted this mod from Cyclelegs and MonoChaos. The original mod was by Shimrod101. My mod avatar is by Eluchil.
Status: All files are updated for all packs up to and including For Rent, covering any beds previously missing. This mod is not compatible with any version of Sims 4 prior to 1.4.0.
Support: If you download manually, please join my Patreon community for update announcements or subscribe to the current Broken/Updated Mods thread at AHQ. I offer support only if you’re on the current version of the game. To get support or to let me know about any issues you find, please post in the comments here or head to the Creator Help channel in the Help Center in RAVASHEEN’s Discord server. I don’t offer support by DM.
What This Mod Does
No matter how you choose to design your Sims’ bedrooms, your Sims get the best sleep the game makes possible based on bed tuning and never complain again about waking up uncomfortable because of their bed… all without you putting any of their skill or time into upgrading the beds and without spending your time using cheats on each bed. Every bed will be as good for your Sim as the best upgraded bed.
What the Five Files Cover
There are five files you can choose among – or use them all! The Zip file includes all five.
Standard Beds
- Covers: most single and double beds for Children and older. Not covered: Murphy beds, coffins, Toddler beds, and beds for camping—see the separate mods below. Also not included: the jail-cell bed from EP01 Get to Work. Please let me know if you actually want that bed made comfortable and I’ll make it a separate mod file.
- Wake Up buffs and energy gain are the same as a top-quality bed.
- Negative emotions decay during sleep.
- Beds are fully upgraded for energy and comfort.
Toddler Beds
- Covers: all Toddler beds except the cot from Little Campers, which is covered by the Camping file
- Changes are as for Standard Beds, but Wake Up tuning is not changed.
Camping Beds
- Covers: the base game cot, the beds and cots from GP01 Outdoor Retreat (Glamping, Rustic Sleeper, and both Airkushns), and the Toddler cot from the Little Campers Kit. Not covered: sleeping bags and bedrolls
- Changes are as for Standard Beds.
- Outdoor-related tuning is not changed.
Coffins
- Covers: all GP04 Vampires coffins
- Changes are as for Standard Beds, but Wake Up buffs and Vampire tuning are not changed.
Murphy Beds
- Covers: all SP16 Tiny Living Murphy beds
- Changes are as for Standard Beds.
- Death by Murphy Bed is stopped.
What You’ll See and Won’t See in-Game
In Build/Buy mode
- Descriptions and statistics are not changed, and the items do not have CC wrenches. All effects of the mod(s) are visible only in Live mode.
- Content for packs you do not own will not be added by this mod, but no last exceptions should be produced.
In Live mode
- During sleep, the energy bar will show three arrows for increasing.
- Upgrading will not be available for newly purchased beds because they’re fully upgraded. Repurchase beds to make them be upgraded.
- Wake-up effects that aren’t related to bed tuning will still happen.
- If you use the Murphy bed file, Murphy bed death will not happen.
- With EP15 For Rent, “snoop” is available on the same beds as without this mod.
- Mods/cheats for game time speed will affect Toddler energy gain because the game handles Toddler sleep differently.
- CC beds that refer to Maxis bed tuning files will also be affected by this mod (this is likely to be many CC beds).
- Please let me know if you have For Rent and can’t snoop in a specific bed (other than Toddler beds and sleeping pods, which aren’t snoopable mod-free either).
In Gallery downloads
- Beds downloaded as part of builds you have uploaded to the Gallery will behave as they normally do unless the Simmer placing your build also has this mod.
- Maxis beds you download in builds from the Gallery will be affected by this mod.
