Hi all! I was so excited about the lounge chair that just came with the free update, but...
I started my game to test it immediately and I was really hoping we could do some things on them while relaxing.
First, I tried let my sim to read a book while laying on it, but this was not possible (you can read a book on it but your sim will be just sitting, not laying).
I was a bit disappointed , but then I thought okay but it will be problably possible to let two sims chill next to each other and let them talk, but they also can not interact with each other while laying!
Maybe I did something wrong, I really don't know... Let me know if you were able to do these things.
But if it's just how it supposed to be then I'm a little bit disappointed with this...
What do you think?

The implementation is very disappointing, relaxing should be a state not an interaction. I had hopes that they would possibly add relaxing on beds back in as well. But I guess not since they've opted for it to be a timed interaction. Musical chairs is already kind of an issue, and adding these short relax interactions just makes the sims seem even more indecisive.
A lot of things are "by design". Doesn't make it good design. I would hate for them to start making these choices again when they've been on such a roll with the recent packs and patches.
Just relaying info I saw not saying I agree. I’m disappointed too.
Hey guys we gave you lounge chairs!! Us: YES!! finallly!!! woohoo. By the way you, cant talk to other sims or read and lay down....LOL
What is the deal with sims talking anyway?? They couldn't talk and bowl, they can't talk and fish, now talk and lounge.
I feel like I’ll use the bar more now just for the purpose of multitasking while lounging 😂.
P.S. I’m not downgrading the disappointment just looking for the good as well. That’s just me as a person.
Well, and couches/benches, 'cause ya'know... lounging!
Yeah, and the bed animations are already in the game. So It just baffles me!
They make the strangest design choices to me Like whyyyyy?
And thats fine. But I also don't want to downplay just how limited the "features" they add are.
Thanks for the heads up OP, now I know not to even bother adding them or checking them out

I don't know why exactly. But EA is really doing the absolute least with the Sims 4. I mean, seriously. I thought this game was supposed to be a multitask'ers heaven.
They set the bar so......sooooooo....lowwwww. Its crazy because I like this game, I really , really do. Personally. But they sure do make it hard to become excited for , when all they do is cut corners and compromise every little thing.
Just laying there on a lounge without talking at all to anyone is immersion ruining. Complete nonsense.
I wasn’t downplaying anything 😕. I was just trying to be a little positive about a plum situation. I don’t see what’s wrong with that. It is more limited than I wanted for sure, but I thought it was neat that they were portable and didn’t know if everyone knew that so I thought I’d mention it. Also made a joke about how drinking a drink is the only thing we can do while lounging because I’m aware how absurd that is.
They work just like the ones in TS3.

Yes seriously to everything you said. I literally feel like my sims going through so many emotions from the leak, to the announcement, to the game changers stuff, to the actual finish product. Excited, overjoyed, feeling less happy but everything else is ok right?? (diving, no hotels, lifeguard rabbit hole) and then flat out disappointment with the lounge chairs. It not like the lounge chairs alone is frustrating, it is like it was yet another let down. I don't know maybe if they started talking the sims might have start swapping chairs over and over.
I would like to see the sims be able to read and even be on their phone at least, since the only thing they're able to do is drink for the most part. Also, the sims look like they have the bored moodlet whenever I look at their face or maybe they're contemplating life just silently lounging.
Very glad for lounge chairs and keeping them on my community pool lots, but would like some more simple interactions with it.
preposterous right? I don't know how long its gonna take them to figure what new animation can be added to the lounge chair beside lounging, wait and wait and more waiting endup we still got limited gameplay / interaction, I don't own all the packs which they are on sales now but I don't bother to buy them anymore since they don't bother either.
