Their are aspect in this pack that don't utilise the concept of tiny living with the feature in this pack. They don't use it's full potential or their are features that should be in this pack.
I've listed ideas that I think would improve the pack:
- Items slot are too big so cant cram items closer together
- not enough slot places to go on objects
- Murphy-beds takes the same space a normal bed (fine) so you should be able to move objects around in live mode so you are actually utilising the space.
- being able to put furniture objects in storage from live mode to utilise space
- Collapsible furniture
- Fold-able wall table
- Use laptops on lap
- Ladders
- Bunk-beds/loft-beds
- Pullout armchair
- More combos: bed under storage combo
- Convertible 3-seater sofa
- Connecting items (e.g armchair linked to ottoman/stool rest works as a lounger)
- Under counter mini fridges
- Separated counter and cabinets
- Split levelling / platforms levels
- Portable appliances
- Wall microwave and ovens
- Separated stove top
- Solar panels
- Being able to click on cabinet to use as inventory
- Murphy-bed with a desk
- Murphy-bed with wardrobe
- Polaroid photography
- Bifold doors (

- In-ground Jacuzzi
- In-ground bath tub
- In- floor bed ( put floor-mat over it were you place collapsible furniture on top that can go into inventory later when not used)
- kotatsu ( this item can go under a murphy bed without obstructing the object)
- Ceiling shower (can go over bathtub)
- Under-stair storage options
- Being able to sleep on sofas
- Read online
- Built in washing machine (like dishwasher)
- TV wall projector
- Hanging bed
- Hanging armchair
- Hanging crib
- Hidden storage
What are some ideas you would add to tiny living or what future packs do you thinks these ideas can be utilised.

the style of the BB is awesome, but the objects are a huge let down in relation to the theme.
I think that the pack would've benefitted from being a game pack instead. They could've done so much more with the theme with a gamepack budget since the stuff pack budgets seems to be a paperclip and a tic-tac, they also couldve fleshed out the perks more considering they admitted in the Livestream to making the perks then coming up with ""logic"" to justify them (having a tiny house making plants grow faster for..?what reason? having a tiny house makes you closer to a person? in some cases sure but in others being around someone in such close proximity all the time is bound to lead to conflict). Toddlers and children would've been able to get literally anything with a gamepack (doubtful since they seem allergic to toddlers and kids)
The one-tile desk was very much needed - the others are either more for children or too tall (I don't like having my view blocked). The combo tv also fits the bill, though I personally don't use a tv in the game. The murphy bed might have been useful in the little 32-square house I built last night, but I'm a bit scared to try it. I ended up having to rearrange everything because I forgot the yoga mat, and that would fit nicely in the murphy bed space. It can already be dragged in and out of inventory, making it ideal for a tiny build.
Some items missed the mark - it would have been nice if the toilet were a chemical toilet that worked off the grid, and the bookcase, while saving space in terms of tiles, is too tall, especially for a small space. We also need more single-tile dining tables. And wall-lights! I don't like ceiling lights because they don't disappear in live mode, and then I've got this weird object floating in space. (More than once, I've had to pause and look at the strange thing in my game, only to realise that it's the ceiling light.)
I bought it more for the building challenge, myself. For $10, I wasn't expecting a huge number of new objects.
I think it has some space-saving objects though it could have more. I have some smaller houses that are a bit cramped even if they aren't tiny. No, this doesn't have aerial lofts which I would expect with tiny living but I think it is a decent pack.
We'll see what the future is for more content in TS4. I liked this one.
I actually said it was fine however it should've of been utilise more with live mode to move objects around.When I suggested Hanging bed my belief it that you can put items underneath and pull it up to the ceiling.
Not including a ladder or spiral stairs was odd. I know they had reasons for not including either one of these objects but how many times can they explain why they didn't include objects like this or matching island counters, wall cabinets, and wood textures for Island Living and Realm of Magic? By "they" I mean whoever it is that's in charge of making these types of decisions. The same thing happened with the "Off the Grid" lot trait. Months later and not all candles are tagged to work with off the grid.
On the other hand, the tents from Outdoor Retreat don't even count towards the limits of Tiny Homes when put outdoor.

- use the console cheat bb.moveobjects on to place items as close as possible
- get the most of the open spaces, like placing picnic tables, outdoor kitchens or lounge areas with sofas and puffs on the garden
- if you place a sink on the bathroom, no need to place one on the kitchen to save space
- Minifridges from Discover University are very helpful as you can place objects on them
- Book piles were updated now so you can actually grab books from them and read them, so no need to use bookcases anymore
- You can also shrink objects to place them in tighter spaces, like televisions!
Hopefully one day we will have ladders and Murphy beds :D
Hope these building tips help!
