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.

Why should I have to mod my game, to restore a feature I paid for already? Why can’t those who bought this pack knowing this was a feature mod their game to stop it or slow it down. It’s one thing to take features out of the pack you paid for, but it’s a whole other kettle of fish to insist on removing things from a pack others paid for.

This was an advertised feature in the pack, it was in the trailer, the devs touted it on Twitter, it was in the livestream. There was no ambiguity about it. It’s one of the reasons I bought the pack. I want elements of surprise, I want adversity, I want comedic “bad” things to happen, and every single time we get something that promises just that a vocal minority of dollhouse players throw a fit and get it nixed. It’s like if you order a bacon cheeseburger and someone at the counter announces they don’t like bacon or there’s too much bacon, and so the waiter comes and starts pulling the bacon out of everybody’s burgers.

Exactly!! For those that don't want it in their game. Mod it out. It was advertised that it could kill your Sim. Use at your own risk, save often, upgrade the bed or mod it out- so many choices besides nerfing it so it hardly works anymore. I wish we still had death by meteor.

That was such a fun death. I giggled every time.

Not me, I like the beds are 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.

Exactly! I was having fun with the garlic and all.

And with aliens I was having a blast with the satellites and other modes of defense against the abductions. I haven't seen an abduction in ages and ages. Nor do I see vampires lurking around my door trying to get in either.

Same I miss it a lot.

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've been doing this for a long time. I have an alien sim, he's my town's handyman and I send him around upgrading things for the other families. Then I use the give gift interaction to pay him for his services. B)

They won't nerf this one. That's why they gave us the option to upgrade it and avoid death.

They give us options to tone down or eliminate all of it through gameplay, as I have already stated in an earlier post in this thread, and yet lots of these danger features have been tuned nearly out of existence anyway.

I started a save on patch day, so it had no mods or CC in it. It was a brand new save. She got Vlad's phone call and he turned up a short time later. And he politely knocked and waited outside! So do vampires not even invade anymore? I didn't know if it was a coincidence he turned up for a friendly visit or if this is now our "invasion".

All of your sims have to be asleep for him to actually come in and drink from them. It’s cool he showed up, because that rarely happens anymore so you might not see him at your house again for quite awhile if ever.

She was the only sim in the house and she was asleep. He called her before she went to bed, showed up a short time later and knocked and waited outside. I haven't seen invasions for a while but I thought Vlad still did when you started a new save.

Me too, but I haven't had it happen in my game for ages. It's been at least a year and a half since I had an alien abduction.

I am playing a big household and other sims in the house won't stop fixing the broken bed so I had to lock them out as they won't leave it alone. They do seem to push to autonomously upgrade and repair them. I have one Murphy bed that's fully upgraded and then I'm leaving the other Murphy bed not upgraded.

So far, I haven't had the fully upgraded one break down or close on my sim and I am testing for it. I am on the lookout for it because if the beds are still malfunctioning after full upgrades, then I agree that's a problem that should be fixed. Not nerf them because they are doing what they're supposed to be doing, but if they are still breaking down or snapping shut after being upgraded then that's a problem that needs to be fixed.

Me, I like the Murphy beds as they are, there's a reason that I've given one specific sim in the household a bed that hasn't been upgraded. Snap snap!

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

Then upgrade the bed so your sims won't die. Don't ruin it for the rest of us. Sigh.

I have already posted a few pages back that I downloaded the mod and I no longer care what happens with the item with regards to nerfs. ;)
