Bunk Beds are most likely coming soon!

why do people want bunk beds so bad? so your sim will struggle to get up to the top bunk and then glitch teleport when they wake up? i just see there being a lot of issues with it. i hate how simmers latch onto one thing and beg for it nonstop until they finally add it to the game and then it's on to the next thing to beg for. before it used to be packs like seasons, pets and university. now it's silly things like bunk beds and burglars.

Lots of people like to recreate things they see or experience in real life in the game.

I prioritize gameplay above CAS and Build/Buy, but sometimes I find it relaxing to put on a podcast and try to recreate a real place from memory as close as I can.

My roommate and I have a recreation of our apartment. We update it sometimes when we make changes. (Need to update it again, come to think of it). I remember a couple years ago being weirdly excited to get a pack not only for all the major intended selling points. But also because it had a small magazine rack. Like we have. So I could go update the apartment to be more accurate.

I was absolutely begging for landings/turning stairs before that update, because without them I could not build the layouts of so many normal homes, including the house I grew up in.

I assume a lot of people want bunk beds because a lot of people had or have bunk beds.

They’re also damn useful when it comes to saving floor space for people who play bigger families. And if you have Tiny Living (which, I don’t) and are trying to get those small home bonuses, that floor space becomes prime real estate.

Hell I remember in the Sims 3 I used to have a mod that let you put beds and furniture On the ceiling ???. It basically doubled the usable square footage of your home. “Why not just make the house bigger?” I have no idea. I didn’t want to. So I wanted to take advantage of vertical space.

I mean, if you gave me a button that said “The Sims get more individual AI and autonomy and better relationships and memories, but the game will NEVER have bunk beds” I’d press it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t WANT bunk beds. My sister and I shared a bunk bed for like 8 years. It’d be nice to be able to make our old bedroom in game.

It’s a thing in real life and people are likely to want stuff from real life in the game. Bunk beds aren’t the top of my list (they aren’t even the top of my items/build buy list), but they are on the list. People want different things from the game.
