Murphy bed death

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

Please don't nerf the deaths, EA.

Hopefully soon. I'm to scared to use it now. I love my sims and don't want them to die early, sorry. :D

Exactly! It's a really cool concept, and the ghost you get from it is really cool. But, I'm with you. I'm scared to loose one of my Sims!

What are the ghosts?

I find it funny when they get pumbled by the bed but I don't think they would nerf it persay, I think they would probably tone it down so the deaths are less frequent.

That's what a nerf is.

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.')

The second CallMeKevin makes a video called "Sims 4 but the Murphy Bed kills more people than Jim Pickens".

You literally read my mind. I started thinking of how CallMeKevin would have a video of this and I scroll a little further for you to voice my thoughts! lol

I hate to be a party-pooper, but if you need the space that a double bed takes up when your Sim(s) aren't sleeping, it's probably easier (and safer) to just put the bed into household inventory until you need it.

Where’s the fun in that? ??‍♀️

Sadly I think I am right in my poll answer, there are already people on twitter griping about the Murphy bed and saying it needs to be tuned. I am sooooooooooo sick of paying for a pack and then having a major feature of that pack basically removed because a few people cannot seem to handle a little bit of challenge or adversity in this game.

If modders can turn death off, I'm betting they can turn that sucker right back up again if it gets nerfed, personally I've got the mod to prevent death as it is alarmingly too frequent for my liking, but I have the option to not have it and thats fine by me. It will be nerfed, I'm sure of it.

Learn to outsmart the murphy bed. (by the way ... there is already a mod that turns off death by murphy bed) This is what I did.
Ok, I built a micro home and made my Sim sleep on the loveseat until he could upgrade the bed. I knew this was coming so I made a teen Sim who can disco nap. It took about a week to completely upgrade the bed. In that time he got maxed in handiness and an A in school plus has a huge garden and is ready for Uni. He has an income from gardening which will be easy to manage with Patchy's help. No one dies in my game. I am clever! lol

It just needs the odds tweaking slightly, when I was watching some of the streamers use it, almost all of them had their sim die the first time they pulled it down. I hope they don't remove it completely. Getting really annoyed at them removing this osrt of stuff for fear of offending people. People whine about everything these days. Its not going to be the Roaring Twenties, its going to be the Whining Twenties

I'm not into the whole death thing... in past Sims iterations I found it annoying. So, when I want to use a murphy bed, I just cheat my handiness and upgrade it. I'm very glad they included that option. While I don't care for the macabre, I say they should leave it. It isn't bothering me. I think by offering the the unbreakable upgrade, and now with a mod out there... there's no reason to mess with it.
