Is this intentional or a bug? I've already submitted a bug report.

    I use this mod to prevent dying.

    I prefer to have control over what happens to my Sims.

    So far, the un-upgraded murphy beds are breaking down not just one time per night but twice (if the bed gets repaired after the first breakage.)

    My student couple had a very rough first night using the murphy bed. The bed broke when they were sleeping in it which then closed on them. Stephen fixed it while Tui had a shower. Even after fixing it they were too afraid to go back to sleep in it so they napped on the loveseats. After they lost the uncomfortable moodlet they went back to sleeping in the bed. Stephen had to get up early to go to an 8am lecture while Tui slept on. The bed broke down a second while Tui was in it so Tui moves in the cavalry in the form of her mother-in-law Alice who repairs the bed and gives it a full upgrade. Stephen has a sleep in the bed just before he has to go to soccer practice because he is is completely and utterly exhausted.

    A similar thing happened to the couples who were playtesting my tiny builds. The bed breaks down in the middle of the night, I wake up one of the couple before the bed has a chance to close on them, he/she repairs the bed and goes back to bed. The bed breaks down a second time and get repaired again by the same sim who then frantically studies handiness so he/she can upgrade the bed with the first upgrade before they go to bed that night. It's a pity that items lose their upgrades when they are uploaded to the gallery.

    EA definitely needs to tweak their coding for when sims are sleeping because breaking down twice in a night is ridiculous.

    It broke the first night so my sim repaired it. For that household, I haven't been back to see if it broke again. For my other household that has the murphy bed, she was fine the first night and it didn't break. She hasn't lifted the bed back up. She's been too busy, she lives alone, and she doesn't care if the bed is up or down. lol

    I had my sim upgrade it before using it so it's never broken in my game.

    It breaks every night until I have it fully upgraded.

    I just had one Sim die after getting out of the Murphy bed. Grim came. Took him away. I said you know what, I’ll roll with it. Not even an hour later, his sister tried to put the bed up and also died. 🤬
  • KimmerKimmer Posts: 2,370 Member
    I made my Sim fully upgrade the Murphy bed before using it, so I have no idea if it would break every night without the upgrades. I've seen some game videos and on one of them Murphy bed kept breaking every night, but not on others.

    Yes, and that’s why Tiny Living is my new least favorite stuff pack.

    I tested this with eight sims and eight murphy beds. The beds all broke within 3-4 hours of the sim going to bed. I woke them up to repair the bed and then sent them back to bed. The beds broke again before they woke up.

    I only played one Sim with a Murphy Bed so far. The bed broke on night 1 and 2 but both times he was able to sleep until morning and repair it after he woke up. Due to the perks of the tiny residential lot, the fact that he had to repair the bed and making a couple of sculptures on the woodworking table, his handiness skill was up to level 3 and he was able to complete the first upgrade and the bed never broke again while he slept in it.
    If I just posted an outfit you like, I have good news - there is more where that came from!

    Not breaking but it is on a killing spree. :smile:

    Hard to say actually. It broke the first night my sim used it, and the second night it killed her.

    I'm fed up with the Murphy beds. Yep. Tired of having to save every 3 minutes in case one of my Sims dies in the stupid thing. Repaired it twice the first night, then had to remove the buffs they had from that, but then it tried to kill them again. Four nights? I junked the thing. They can just have a full sized bed in their living room. Screw this, right? Geez.

    Just using the cute single bed at the moment.

    I use LittleMissSam's mod to stop it from breaking or my Sims from dying.
    I use LittleMsSam's bug fix mod but it doesn't stop it from breaking it just doesn't happen as often. I left it vanilla to start with and the animation when they get hit got old fast so I use this mod. IceMunMun has the mod that stops it altogether but I don't want to do that just not every single night because that's not spicing things up, just makes it predictably boring.

    I don't own the pack, but if the "malfunction" is as often as the "shock" from the Robot Workbench, then I think I'll be passing on the Murphy Bed.

    I use the mod now, but it was breaking every night before that. I hope this is a bug but it wouldn't surprise me if they did this intentionally to make you upgrade the bed in order to show off that new feature from the patch. Either way it was a major pain until I got the mod.

    Yes - The bed breaks every night.
    It breaks every night for my sims, it's not closed in on them yet though but they both do have some handiness and I read somewhere that having handiness seems to prevent it form closing up on you sims when their in it but I think it's got to be a bug.

    Like I love the odd chance that my sims could die from it but the bed breaking down every night and closing up on the sims is pretty annoying why can't it break after awhile like all the other electronics.

    I gave up on the murphy bed. I think they look nice and would love to use them, but I am tired of having my sims repair them or call a repairman every morning. Waiting for a patch.

    How does it do after it has been fully upgraded?
  • SERVERFRASERVERFRA Posts: 7,108 Member
    No - The bed doesn't break every night.
    I got my sim to do the upgrades on the bed.
  • BluegayleBluegayle Posts: 4,175 Member

    I'm pretty sure its intentional and I like it that way. Motivates my sims to work on the handiness skill. Still waiting for last few contests to see if I win and if not then will have to wait for sale or maybe budget out a couple of Chai lattes. (Sorry Sis they will on you next time) LOL
    Either way intend to get it.
