Functioning Window Seat

GalacticGal · March 2017

We have a gorgeous window seat in the game, but, unfortunately, it's simply for looks. I would love to have a Sim be able to sit there, or a Sim child lounge on it, reading. Window Seats are just so special. Too bad we don't have one that functions.

EA, please add this.

I second this! We need it!

I'd love this! Putting a bench or sofa in a window area isn't the same thing, really.

No, it just isn't at all the same thing!

I don't know why they didn't make the window seat functional for their use.

I don't know, either. I was so hopeful when they were announced, too.

I totally agree. I was so excited to see bay windows only to be so disappointed that I couldn't have my sims sit there (or even simply place items on the bench to make it feel more lived in, a few books or a little clutter). It would be great to see some fun interactions with windows as well, to go along with this idea. "Gaze out of the window" for inspiration or "watch the rain" through the window when feeling sad. I would love to see my sim dramatically lying on a bay window with their face against the glass watching the rain.

This would be nice, especially if there was an added buff of like relaxation or something, depending on the weater ( ie, relaxing if its in the summer or spring, cozy if its in the fall or winter)

Yes!!

There are also windows that have plenty of space for objects but we cannot place anything on the sills. Being able to decorate a bay window in the kitchen would help save space on counters for the little decorations like cookbooks

I'd love it if they had this. Can you imagine how cute it would be for a kitty to sun herself or a Sim reading while it snows outside.

They all look pretty. I think it's possible to recreate most of them in TS4 with the ottoman seats. No cushions and blankets though.

Why are folks so into settling in this game. Its like EA has trained people to expect little and ask for nothing.

They've done it before so I wonder why not do it again? I just build the windows to fit the 3 sided sofas but would like my Sims to sit along a two or 3 seater and look out of the window. They could call it dreaming or window gazing.

Oh, now I see why the ottomans are not suitable. But cats would probably use them to sleep and look fine doing it.

The existing ones need a bit of an overhaul.
It is so disappointing that the bay windows are useless as shelves.

I want them to be yet another location for sims to leave books and glasses of water, somewhere for a pot plant or two

They should be somewhere to have a little herb garden

They're a great way to expand a kitchen

With a window seat, they create an adorable book nook
Can we have a window like this in the game? Please?

It should function as a window, and a seat, and a book shelf. The tiny house pack proved they can make multi functional items, so why not make more of them? Then have more windows and a book case in the same style, so we can make a properly fancy library.

There are like 3 game window seat options now, so hoping everyone uses them. What I wish is that the deep windows in eco, which make perfect spaces to place plants or other objects, were actual spaces as they appear to be, instead of just an illusion. Using the space they create goes perfectly with eco and tiny living.
