Murphy bed death

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

Please don't nerf the deaths, EA.

This.
I'm going to create a handyman sim and add him to my saves, so I can visit any family with murphy bed I don't want to die and upgrade it.
Also, I read somewhere (and then tested it myself) that bed that was placed with moveobjects are more likely to break and kill. If you have enough space, it's not that dangerous.

I always have my sims build their handiness skill up but I haven't actually checked to see if they still kill after being fully upgraded . I'm going to check that out now . I can understand that, just make them unbreakable for players who don't like the element of surprise. SNAP SNAP! :D

I must admit, this is incredibly amusing to me that people want a "Murphy Bed", but are too terrified to use it in-game. :D
So... make it to be magical and safe, like fluffy clouds floating past a rainbow of safeness, to take you away with your head in the clouds, while eating marshmallow pies...

Ohh that would explain why it took so long for the bed to kill in my game.

Not me, I like the beds the way they are. The risks were why I bought the pack. I don't quite understand all the complaints either because I'm not sure what people were expecting to happen.

Same it is like a repeat of people complaining that a pack called Vampires has actual Vampires in it. Sadly those got nerfed too instead of people actually using garlic to ward them off.

So, can you update the Murphy bed so it doesn’t kill your sims? I don’t know why they didn’t just make 2 versions of the bed.... one deadly and one not deadly..... that would easily solve it so people who want deaths have them...,those who don’t want deaths don’t get them. I just bought the stuff pack. How exactly does it currently work? Does high Fitness keep you from dying?

Raising the handiness skill helps so Sims can repair it. Broken Murphy beds have a much higher chance of killing Sims.

You know, it probably ought to be toned down some but I'm finding it hard any more to have sims die from anything other than hysteria and old age. I really would like to see more sims die in different ways because I miss some of the challenge that comes from having a sim die prematurely. It can really change how you play a household. When you have certain traits, an Elder's life stage is way too long. Just look at some of your sims with the SimsInfo mod. Elders go on forever it seems and I run out of space in the house for the next generation way too often and can't do what I really want to do with the families. Of course, the few that do die prematurely in my game often seem to be the ones I really like and don't want to die early too. It's never the ones I really want to get rid of. So I'm sort of conflicted on the whole thing.

I know a lot of people like the new death but I really have never really liked Death much in The Sims, except for Old Age when playing legacies.

I personally think I will get the mod or cheat my handiness to upgrade the bed. Or just cheat to turn death off entirely/
