Why are people complaining? Why not just upgrade the bed to stop it happening?

I wondered the same. Previous Murphy Beds in the older games never had the option to upgrade them. This seems like a win/win. Run the risk of death if you don't upgrade or learn some handiness and upgrade the thing! :D

I can see that it might be a bit difficult in a new save - the first day, you're working on getting socials and fun up, learning some cooking (so they don't die in Fire!), etc. Not much time for learning handiness, and bam! they're dead. However, you can always save just before they go to bed to avoid it, though if Sims are autonomously mucking about with the bed during the day, pulling it down for no reason, I suppose they could end up inconveniently dead.

Also, if you want your couple to build relationship and fun, the shower is your best option for safe woo-hoo. Nothing kills the mood like pulling out a box of tools. ('Hold that amorous moodlet, love, I've got to upgrade the bed so we don't die.')
