Lounges are for lounging (I don't like the way sims sit)

Whatever you call it (lounge, couch, sofa), it's meant to be a chair for comfort, not sitting like Mrs Bucket.

Why can't our sims make themselves more comfortable?

Our sims need more realistic poses when reading

Make use of that backrest!

Toddlers and children should be able to share a space, or sit on a lap!

What about being able to sit on the floor, and lean against the sofa?

Mrs Bucket may not approve, but I'm sure the rest of us would like a little more relaxation.

    My back hurts just looking at my sims sitting on the couch

    I’d like more sitting poses like you suggest. Only problem would be implementing it, I think. I don’t doubt that it can be done, but it would probably be more difficult to ensure the sims didn’t sit in each other (any more than usual) with the new poses. They probably won’t bother with it, sadly.

    That said I wonder if anyone in the modding community has made an override for couch sitting animations? There is that one mod the devs referenced with the wicker whims furniture that gave us all sorts of animations for furniture so it's not that big a stretch to think someone could just override couch sit animations is it?

    OMG, I just saw Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet) in the sims forums! I love that show. I don't think I ever sat on a couch the right way. I don't find that comfortable. I tend to use the leg rest or lounge across the couch. I love the Mrs Bucket comparison. I never sit like Mrs Bucket.

    There should be a lounge option, although I don't want devs so focused on positions to the point where that is the only thing they are working on.

    Adding different "lounging" poses would give more diversity indeed!
