Is Tiny living really tiny living?

Their are aspect in this pack that don't utilise the concept of tiny living with the feature in this pack. They don't use it's full potential or their are features that should be in this pack.

I've listed ideas that I think would improve the pack:

- Items slot are too big so cant cram items closer together
- not enough slot places to go on objects
- Murphy-beds takes the same space a normal bed (fine) so you should be able to move objects around in live mode so you are actually utilising the space.
- being able to put furniture objects in storage from live mode to utilise space
- Collapsible furniture
- Fold-able wall table
- Use laptops on lap
- Ladders
- Bunk-beds/loft-beds
- Pullout armchair
- More combos: bed under storage combo
- Convertible 3-seater sofa
- Connecting items (e.g armchair linked to ottoman/stool rest works as a lounger)
- Under counter mini fridges
- Separated counter and cabinets
- Split levelling / platforms levels
- Portable appliances
- Wall microwave and ovens
- Separated stove top
- Solar panels
- Being able to click on cabinet to use as inventory
- Murphy-bed with a desk
- Murphy-bed with wardrobe
- Polaroid photography
- Bifold doors (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM2qr_VjJTM)
- In-ground Jacuzzi
- In-ground bath tub
- In- floor bed ( put floor-mat over it were you place collapsible furniture on top that can go into inventory later when not used)
- kotatsu ( this item can go under a murphy bed without obstructing the object)
- Ceiling shower (can go over bathtub)
- Under-stair storage options
- Being able to sleep on sofas
- Read online
- Built in washing machine (like dishwasher)
- TV wall projector
- Hanging bed
- Hanging armchair
- Hanging crib
- Hidden storage

What are some ideas you would add to tiny living or what future packs do you thinks these ideas can be utilised.

Do you think Tiny living should've been a game pack instead?

    I think it was fine as a stuff pack. It would have made a boring game pack in my opinion. As a stuff pack the challenge to build tiny homes makes it just interesting enough. I like some of the suggestions you made about objects, like the place under the stairs. Some of them do not save space however (the hanging stuff for example) - the same thing you criticised murphy bed for.


    I actually said it was fine however it should've of been utilise more with live mode to move objects around.When I suggested Hanging bed my belief it that you can put items underneath and pull it up to the ceiling. :)

    For me the problem is with the recolors which was once done by customers in past editions and now is done exclusively by EA/Maxis now and if you want other colors you have to mod the game and not everyone wants to mod. So some view this pack as an ripoff as EA/Maxis are cashing in on something that the customer cannot control no more. Some are willing to buy it if they can get it much cheaper than what EA/Maxis is asking for. Some are also willing to overlook the stratergy that EA/Maxis has used in Sims 4 again pointing to features that was free to use in older editions.

    I wish that the Murphy Bed, when unfolded, and one side of the bed is against the wall, could be used by 2 sims at the same time. So one has to climb further over from the opposite side, you know? Instead of waving hands and cursing. LOL

    I really like that bed under the stairs! That's such a good use of what otherwise is wasted space. I've got the pack, but if I find apartments to small and squishy, you have to know that I'm not going to have my Sims live in a Tiny Home, anytime soon. But, I like your ideas and I love some of the objects/furniture the pack came with.

    If they really want tiny living they should have gone to a place that sells campers: tiny that fit into pickup trucks, small to medium sized trailers that are towed by said pickup, the self contained camper vans and bus sized motor homes. Lots of inspriation there for how to get the most of limited space. Interesting concept that just wasn't developped as well as it could have been.

    That’s very true! Most objects are still not adapted to tiny spaces. My tips, in case they help, are the following:
    - use the console cheat bb.moveobjects on to place items as close as possible
    - get the most of the open spaces, like placing picnic tables, outdoor kitchens or lounge areas with sofas and puffs on the garden
    - if you place a sink on the bathroom, no need to place one on the kitchen to save space
    - Minifridges from Discover University are very helpful as you can place objects on them
    - Book piles were updated now so you can actually grab books from them and read them, so no need to use bookcases anymore
    - You can also shrink objects to place them in tighter spaces, like televisions!

    Hopefully one day we will have ladders and Murphy beds :D

    Hope these building tips help!
