I kind of hate the rating systems on beds...

I feel the same way. Some beds I really wanna use and like, but their energy is like... a 9-10 (or 8) and then they wake up too soon and if their other needs are fine, I just stare at them, not sure what to do next...

This is going to sound like a tangent, but... in previous iterations of the game, when the sim went to bed, you could see a little timer if you hovered over the sleep bar that indicated when (the hour and minute) they would wake up on their own/if you let the sleep bar fill all the way. The reason I bring this up is that now we don't have that feature anymore, it makes it even harder to guess when to send them to bed, particularly with the sleep ratings all over the place. I'd like to see two things at the same time: a return to the sleep time indicator, and as other people have suggested, the ability to improve/customize the bed settings with handiness.

I don't like furniture ratings for any type of furniture. The ratings just influence the items chosen for decorating instead of just picking the items you like you pick the one which has the higher rating. As mentioned above it would be nicer if we could just pick any item and then upgrade it to be a higher rated item later on if we wanted to.

I just put them back to sleep until I want them to wake up. Works for me. For instance, if a Sim wakes up at 4 in the morning I just KNOW she/he is going to be dead on her feet 12-14 hours later or so and thus has no time for her/him to have fun after school/work or have a late night fun. I solve it by ordering her/him back to bed and then wake them manually a little later in the morning.

I like how the patch comes out a day later to address this exact issue :D

Right?!?!! Maybe I should complain about something specific before patch days more often!!! :o

Bed frames should not have a comfort rating. Mattresses should. Separate the two and problem solved.

Well the comfort situation is kind of moot now but separating them for the sake of customization would still be great. I have the separated in game beds from Brazen Lotus, but they only did them up to Jungle Adventures and aren't updating it anymore as far as I can tell. I would love to be able to pick what frame I want for what mattress across all packs, for all beds.

Perfect idea!!!

What is this sorcery, OP? XD
