Functioning Window Seat

We have a gorgeous window seat in the game, but, unfortunately, it's simply for looks. I would love to have a Sim be able to sit there, or a Sim child lounge on it, reading. Window Seats are just so special. Too bad we don't have one that functions.

EA, please add this.

    The existing ones need a bit of an overhaul.
    It is so disappointing that the bay windows are useless as shelves.

    I want them to be yet another location for sims to leave books and glasses of water, somewhere for a pot plant or two

    They should be somewhere to have a little herb garden

    They're a great way to expand a kitchen

    With a window seat, they create an adorable book nook
    Can we have a window like this in the game? Please?

    It should function as a window, and a seat, and a book shelf. The tiny house pack proved they can make multi functional items, so why not make more of them? Then have more windows and a book case in the same style, so we can make a properly fancy library.

  • There are like 3 game window seat options now, so hoping everyone uses them. What I wish is that the deep windows in eco, which make perfect spaces to place plants or other objects, were actual spaces as they appear to be, instead of just an illusion. Using the space they create goes perfectly with eco and tiny living.
  • Guys I've figured out how to build functional Bay windows or seat windows check my video!!!
    Hope you all enjoy it! cheers!!!

    I dont know why they dont make window seat functional for their use.


    I don't know, either. I was so hopeful when they were announced, too. :'(

    I'd love it if they had this. Can you imagine how cute it would be for a kitty to sun herself or a Sim reading while it snows outside.



    They all look pretty. I think it's possible to recreate most of them in TS4 with the ottoman seats. No cushions and blankets though.

    They've done it before so I wonder why not do it again? I just build the windows to fit the 3 sided sofas but would like my Sims to sit along a two or 3 seater and look out of the window. They could call it dreaming or window gazing.


    Oh, now I see why the ottomans are not suitable. But cats would probably use them to sleep and look fine doing it.
