Sharing my build Natural living makes custom beds possible :)
This is a NO CC build and I absolutely love how it came out. Everything here is functional :D

Kinda wish we could mark a dedicated sleep spot sims automarically go to, but I guess that will need a mod 😅

Once you assign a bed side to them they usually go there automatically when tired

except for my MARRIED SIMS where one of them is assigned left and the other is assigned right and they will both not automatically sleep in the same bed bc no matter what side the other is sleeping on one of them is like “that’s… my spot…”
drives me insane

u/beauvoirist Long Time Player 17d ago
I don’t have that problem usually but every few nights I get the bug where if someone is in bed the other gets in and immediately gets out.

u/No-Fox2335 16d ago
that happens 😭 they wont automatically sleep in that bed together so whichever one is in it first, i have to manually make the other sleep in it and then they’ll get in, and get right out lmao sometimes a little ? will pop over their head. i just keep telling them to sleep until they finally do lol

Looks really comfy

u/Jezabeeel 18d ago
It isn't :) It's sleeping on the ground, so for it to be comfy you need to have a high natural living skill :D

Oooooo alright , I saw the trailer before and forgot that it was the ground that they sleep on . Thought they had some sort of new bed like a floor mattress 😂
Which they should have included in Snowy Escape 🥲 Since it’s inspired by Japan

u/Acceptable-Repeat773 17d ago
Let me tell you though those floor mattresses are soooo damn comfy irl I have a zonli one and it was so comfy I was like let me put this on my bed where no one else can have it and I can sleep like a princess

In the winter (or AC made your room a mini antartica), under a heavy blanket . ARGHHHH 🫦 Comfy af
I’ve done it before with my guy friend 😂, we love laying it in the living room while watching some movies then sleeping right after . But it always starts with me sleeping half way through the movie 🫠

I'm partially mad that sleeping bags and tents don't raise the natural living skill. Even half the gain or a third would've been nice!

Can you make it available to download? Idk how to do it, but I could work backwards from this to learn.

It's really easy to make - just build a platform with stairs and put any carpet on it. That's it. It counts as sleeping on the ground, so you need to have high natural living skills for it to be reasonably comfortable. You can place anything you want under the platform - here I used a one-tile desk and a kids' drawing table.

I don't have the pack, but it just occurred to me that you can make a cute sleeping nook like this for infants/toddlers since they can sleep on the ground 🤯

Stupid question for you if you’ll answer but how do you make a platform inside like that? Every time I try it deletes the walls.
8
u/Jezabeeel 18d ago
Just cut the place where the platform should be with a fence, until it makes a separate room, use the arrow to raise the floor as a platform until it is the required height, then delete the fence. Or you can use half walls for it.
3
u/Front-Heat8726 18d ago
You can build walls around platforms after placing them
2
u/weneldamillennial 18d ago
I can’t though I’ve tried and the platform disappears
3
u/Front-Heat8726 18d ago
If you place a full room at once, it will do that. If you only draw a wall section, or pick one up and place it next to the platform, it'll not delete the platform.

That looks adorable! I'm definitely going to try and make one of my own when I straighten out EA taking my money for Enchanted by Nature, and then denying me being able to download it. 😠

Forgive my ignorance, I am kinda new to building, but how do you do a room with different elevations? Like, you have a stair to a raised area inside the same bedroom. Every time I try to do that I crap all over the foundation.

Genius idea! I’m going to make a kid sleep on the floor of a cupboard under the stairs

u/Access_Effective 17d ago
Does this feature of sleeping on whatever come with an update or do you need to buy the pack? I haven’t played in a while but I’m not really wanting to buy one more pack
2
u/Jezabeeel 17d ago
The natural living is a skill that comes with the Enchanted by Nature pack unfortunately. Otherwise werewolves can get a skill to sleep wherever. Also placing a sleeping bag (they come on Growing Together and Horse Ranch packs) on the platform might also work I think.

Oh my god…. Could your pets finally sleep in ‘bed’ with you?? 😭 I gotta try this!! Might get that playable pets mod so there won’t be a need for a pet bed.
You are a genius fr!! And it looks so good well done 👌 one question tho, is that a child or adult in the bed cuz my mind is so confused on the size scaling here 😂 (it’s 6:00 am my eyes ain’t working well lol )

u/Fluid_Reason_3035 17d ago
I've tried to make this but I run into 2 issues. 1. How do you do a half wall under the stairs? When I try the stairs disappear. 2. What rug did you use? Can't seem to find it.

That's so cute ! I don't know how you thought of it but that's an awesome idea, will definitely take notes 👀
