It’s more than just bunk beds.

So first we get sentiments, then a new scared emotion, and now improved traits. I'm seeing a pattern emerge and I'm very much liking it.

This! I was excited for bunk b3ds but now i'm really really excited! Trait improvements? ????

The bunk bed looks like it'll be modular from the picture so the bunk is a separate item to the bed and can be placed as a loft bed as well, that's just a base game bed with a separate bunk placed on top. If it was an all in one item they would've matched the wood on the bottom bed and the covers

Not a fan of the wood texture on the bunk though, it looks kind of alpha. Maybe it was designed as part of their CC creator collab?

Iron Seagull posted a video last night musing we might be getting loft beds, not just straight bunk beds; that would actually be far more flexible.

You could put a lot of different things underneath -- desk, chair, toybox, or even a toddler bed which would make it possible to play families in a smaller house.

Omg that would be amazing, I hope he's right!

Trait improvements!!! <3

I'm really looking forward to hear more about trait improvements. It's a number one thing that I've wanted for so long. I hope it's good. I'm also prepared that I might have to change some traits my sims have in case they don't suit them anymore. Bunk beds looking nice, but the traits have my attention now.

I download alpha cc, it tends to have much more realistic textures and details. Many items are based on real life furniture. This looks more maxis, it is pretty plain. Peacemaker is one of those creators that is used by both the mm and alpha builders. If we could get bunk beds to match Peacemaker’s wardrobe that would have been so useful. I am not sure how I feel about the upper bunk being potentially modular, really wanted the upper and lower bed frames to match. Bedspreads do not need to be the same but should compliment one another.

Improved traits! Nice!

Trait improvements sound exciting. Can't wait for tomorrow to know more. :)

Opposite playstyle here, and I'm anxious about "improved" traits. If they get more weight, that could mean that for example mean sims become unable to hold a normal conversation at all. That would be a steep price for bunkbeds to pay.

I'll be impressed if the bunk beds actually work.

I'd like to get excited over the traits but I can only see complaints and nerfings ahead. "Oh no, my evil sim is being evil! It's affecting my gameplay! Please stop!" :D

Ugh. I hate those people. Like... why purchase the Vampires pack if you don't want them to hunt for your Sims at midnight? Isn't that what they usually do?? Plus, there's garlic and, now, the option to disable it through the door!

Ugh, I hope not. If they improve traits and then nerf the 'negative' ones, I just might start a serious campaign for TS4 to have Easy, Medium and Hard mode settings (or maybe something like "Peaceful, Normal, and Chaotic" would be better names). I'm so tired of TS4 being all sunshine and rainbows with sims barely ever dying or experiencing any negativity. But I know some prefer that, which is why I think it would be good if we were given a choice to play in different modes. I just personally crave chaos.

I agree. We need more challenges... that are opt-out-able, of course, for the sake of other people's gameplay style.

I'd love that. Mean sims actually being mean.

I hope that mean sims are mean, and hot headed sims are hot headed, and evil sim are dastardly and evil. I want all the traits to mean something and preferably without mods. I currently have Have Some Personality Please installed for just that reason. Because it makes the traits have some bite. I have a sim who is mean, evil, and hot headed and he doesn’t have a single relationship in his panel that isn’t deep in the red on all fronts, he literally cannot make friends and that seems right for that combo of traits and I absolutely love playing him. But eventually modders get tired of modding, so if I can have all of that just as part of the game, where my mean sims are truly mean, and my good sims well right now that’s all sims no matter what without mods...and it’s boring.

I like the look of the bunkbed and it appears that it has ladder on both right and left sides. In the dark silhouette teaser pictures it only has ladders on one side. I wonder if it will be fully modular given also the different colour swatches for upper and lower beds? I am looking forward to the improved traits, would be nice if they add some new traits as well.

Here’s some speculation on how it might work, which in really looking at the pictures makes sense to me that we will get a frame to snap the single beds of our choice into.

Kind of random but I'm pretty sure the rocket painting has a new swatch. The painting in the game does not have a purple color variant.

Indeed. I've just checked in game. Same for the Teen Idol Poster - currently it has no swatches, and the swatch from promo is definitely new. And probably sports poster as well - it has two blue hues on it, while current version is blue/orange. Either this or the picture is edited really hard and all paintings' colors are just distorted.

On topic of traits, I'm very hopeful but also cautious. This could be both amazing and disastrous. Hope they'll do it right and there won't be too many bugs and autonomy nonsense.
