Murphy Bed Death

Is there a way to stop the murphy bed from killing sims at random? One of my sims just got killed out of the blue the first time I've ever used it. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Otherwise I'm never using it.

    You need to upgrade it to 100% prevent a murphy bed death.

    Upgrading Murphy Beds
    Since it’s so easy for Murphy Beds to break and to actually kill your sims, it’s important to try and upgrade them to decrease the chance of your sim having negative experiences with their beds.

    With a game update that came right before Tiny Living was released, we were given the ability to upgrade beds to increase their mattress firmness to make them more comfortable, which is awesome, and was added so these tiny living upgrades could be easily integrated.

    The Murphy Bed has two options for upgraded that aren’t available to other beds that will make it so the beds will break less or can even make them unbreakable.

    The first upgrade is Spring Loaded, which is unlocked when your sim reaches level 3 of the handiness skill. To do this upgrade your sim will need 4 common upgrade parts. This upgrade is going to reduce how often your bed is going to break, but there is still a chance of it breaking so be careful!

    :star: What you really want is the Reinforced Spring Wiring upgrade, which is available when your sim reaches handiness level 8. This is going to cost you 3 common upgrade parts as well as 3 electronic upgrade parts. This upgrade is going to make the bed unbreakable! This is the only way to completely prevent the murphy bed death.
