So with the addition of the bunk beds, I was a bit disappointed the devs didn't give us an empty frame to allow the interchangeable use of single beds across the entire game. I've gone into blender and removed the bed of the top bunk. After some testing, I noticed that cc mattresses do not work on the bottom and top bunk even with the move objects cheats enabled. My sim simply cannot get to either bed. I tried testing the bottom bunk with an EA bed and that worked just fine but the top bunk was still inaccessible. What I would like is for the top and bottom bunk to be functional with both EA beds and cc mattresses. Any advice or can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial? EDIT: i've managed to make the bottom bunk functional by removing the footprint data from the warehouse in S4S but I'm still having issues making the top bunk functional. ![]() |

I have the same difficulty.
I can't get the CC beds to work below the top bunk beds. Even by recreating them. Only official EA/Maxis beds works below the top bunk.
I tried importing Slot, Rig, Footprint etc ... into CC beds. But it doesn't work. Seems that a file not found in S4S controls the position of the beds in the Top bunk

I have a functional separated top bunk but I can't get the bottom bunk to be functional when snapped to a top bunk, even EA's. |

Sérinion I have the same issue. All my CC single beds do not work as bottom bunk beds. They wont snap into the bunk bed. So I re-created my recolored metall one from PH, but when directing my Sim to go to sleep, he will just stand there waving his hand even though the bed now does snap into the bunk bed slot. It is useable though when not snapped underneith the top bunk bed. Maybe beds also need to be re-created with 32 bit checked just like chairs? I will try that next, clone the same newly created metall bed from PH and checkmark the 32 bit checkbox to see if it makes any difference.
Edit to add: Tried what I said, but didn't work either. Bed won't snap into the bunk bed slot. The cloned Loft Bunk bed works with with all EA single beds, but not with mine, weird...

Personally, I can not find the mechanism either. When I do a default replacement, it works. But when I make a simple clone without modification, it doesn't work under the top bunk. |

So I have been looking for a thread that mentions the recent bunk beds update for some time now, and finally found one in hopes I can get some answers as I have 2 questions. In regards to the quoted post, I wanted to find out how you managed to get the recoloured PH metal single bed to be placed in build buy. On my end I did the usual recolouring but when I tried to place it in build buy, it is basically saying the mesh is missing, which is odd. Then when I looked through my build buy catalogue the bed is there but oddly it does not have the PH icon on it, so I thought maybe they placed it as a BG item within the 24hrs I was doing the recolours and did not notice? So I thought ok, I shall go back into Sims 4 Studio and recreate them using the base game version, only to find in Sims 4 Studio it is still showing as a PH bed. So I am completely confused right now. I do have Twisted Mexi's organised build buy and I am updated to the latest one, but I doubt that is the root cause of the problem because I have recoloured the top bunks both mod pod and metal, and they work fine, as well as the mod pod single bed also functioning just alright, even play tested them. See pic of beds below.  My second question is in Sims 4 studio, is there a reason as to why the bunk beds with both the top and bottom bunks are not showing? I have the latest version of S4S which is 3.1.4.7 (Wishes). All I see are the top bunks to select from; are we not meant to access the full bunk beds? See pic below. Any help that you can offer will be so very much appreciated, thank you in advance. 🙏🏾🤗💙  |

EP Creative Media This is because the bunk beds with two beds are not a single object, they work like the robot vacuums and instead are two objects that can be placed down at the same time from the catalog. While the main file (Object Catalog Set I believe) has been figured out, the second file it references (magalog) is still an unknown file format, so S4S can't support it and custom ones can't be made either. You can only do the objects separately for people to put together manually.

Got it, thank you so much for that MizoreYukii, might you by any chance know anything about why the PH single metal bed recolours I did not being able to be placed in build buy, and the PH icon not showing i build buy as though the bed is now Base Game; but still showing as PH beds in S4S? |

It will also show the metal one I used with the PH icon.
As I wrote, a newly created CC bed will only work in Build/Buy when you chose "create a 3D Mesh" or "selective Clone"
- chosing "recolor" does not work anymore (for now). You will get the error message "missing footprint resource"
So my workaround to make my single metal bed work again in build/Buy was to recreate it and chose "selective clone" and import all my textures from my old one.
I have also noticed that the metal single bed does not even have anymore description nor name when cloning. Everthing is empty. According to all these new issues it looks like they really messed up this time when introducing bunk beds. We can only hope that they come up with a fix.

Oh my gosh thank you, thank you, thank you so much. This is beyond helpful; yes "missing footprint resource" is the error I have been getting for the metal single bed from PH. After creating a collective of nearly 100 swatches, my heart sunk when I saw the error. 😅 I also noticed the description on the metal single bed was empty, and thought it was odd; and it not having the PH icon in Build buy is also weird. They really messed up for sure, I hope they do come up with a fix soon. Thank you for your help, you are a gem, at least I can get this sorted out now. 🤗🙏🏾 |

At least as far as the Parenthood/BG issue with the bed, I was struggling with this the other day. I think the metal framed bed was unlocked for base game with the update, BUT it’s not exactly the same bed. If you look at the mesh for the Parenthood one in Blender/S4S and the object in game, they are slightly different. For example, the Parenthood mattress extends slightly beyond the base of the bed and in the base game one they’re flush with each other. My guess is that the Parenthood bed was removed from the game and replaced with a slightly different BG version, instead of just being unlocked, so any recolor based on the Parenthood version will show up as “missing footprint resource” because technically that bed isn’t in the game anymore. Just a guess though!
