Decorating is driving me crazy

We need to be able to upgrade beds. I tend to use only 6 and up beds also and it's limiting. I know there are mods out there.. I won't use them because I have enough styles now. I just wish I could use all we have.

@nikki_maeve I haven't used CC build/buy. I'm tempted because I really want more than one matching set to use.

@Hermitgirl I tried one of the mods but I didn't like it. Maybe I need to find another.

I'm going to bring back an old point, why didn't they just design matching furniture?

Yeah, I use TONS of CC because vanilla furniture is often uninspiring. Like, very oddly shapped and oversized. I override things left and right, lol.

If you're new to CC, I recommend downloading Sims 4 Studio right away since it lets you do batchfixes to old cc to avoid getting glitches. Just do all the batchfixes (content management -> batchfixes) when you're done downloading and you should be alright. You can also use it for recoloring, which is very easy to do. Then you can recolor existing furniture into pretty matching sets, like this nice set by Simplistic.

If you're new to CC, start slow and keep everything organized in folders so you can find things later. I also highly reccomend getting Sims 4 Tray Importer which lets you basically open any saved lot or room from your library in it and see a list of all the custom content in it. It's good for sorting and getting rid of stuff. Like, things you don't want you can put in a room, save, and then delete the items you see in the tray importer.

Start out with Brazenlotus's stuff. She separates game objects so everything is maxis match and low poly. I love using all the clutter to decorate rooms and make them much more realistic and messy :D For example, her separated beds and mattresses lets you chose the bed frame and matress you want separately, so coordinating is much easier.

oh and for placing stuff anywhere, I also recommend using Severinka's OMSP set. You can use it with MOO and and the alt key to easily put stuff on objects at the correct height.

If this all seems like a lot, don't worry, it's not hard and it opens up SO MANY possibilities. TS4 is a beautiful game, and CC can make it truly beautiful <3

Here's a couple pics of my current house. Very cute and maxis match :)

if you have any questions, you can always ask me :D I love cc and am happy to help you any way I can :)

The bed mods seem to cause a lot of problems. (I'm not blaming the modders, it's only that patches and new packs tend to regularly break these mods.) Otherwise, I'd be tempted. I'm so sick of that Princess Cordelia single bed. There are so many beds that would be perfect for my decor, but I don't want my Sims to sleep half the day.

Little Ms Sam updates her mods regularly. One of them lets you purchase a good mattress for your bed, so if you have a bed with a low comfort/energy score you can pay and make it better.

I've had no issues with the mod at all. All her mods are fantastic.

I use a lot of Furniture CC because of this.

Peacemaker does a bunch of lovely build items. I use a bunch of their stuff, and good thing is all of it is Maxi Match so i does not clash with the sims graphics. They just added an add on addition to the romantic garden windows and doors, that can fit all wall sizes.

this is all their object cc.

Have you tried CC? If you don't like super realistic stuff you can always get Maxis-match CC.

@DreamaDove WOW that's a lot of clutter! Thank you for the suggestions. I currently use CAS CC but I think I'll browse for furniture when I have some free time. I think I had the beds before.

Thank you @AkiraAnubise
