DIY Beds


So, I don't know how this idea spawned.. just that I felt like there needed to be more flexibility with beds. I mean.. in the real world, we put it together from boards, frames, and mattresses.. but what's the fun in it when the bed is already put together for you? Why not.. have more ways to make the bed your own?
But what's the purpose, you ask? Simple. To unleash all the creativity and allow maximum customization to your beds.

This set includes a total of 42 (THE UNIVERSE!!) total objects! These objects all go off grid, which means they are not shiftable, but can be shifted by using an OMSP (perfect example in the picture below). (Further instructions in the How to Use instructions below.

This set contains Frames, Headboards, Footboards, Mattresses, Bottom Mattresses, & Misc Accessories. Although, you do not need to use all of them to make your own bed! They're just several options you can choose from to create or add to it!

You can find these objects all together under: By Function -> Comfort -> Beds or By Room -> Bedroom -> Beds

'How to Use' Instructions
Please pay attention to the steps on how to use this set.. otherwise you may be a little lost and frustrated when using this set. Now, you do not have to follow these instructions like a beginner. Feel free to build your bed anyway you want.. just get a basic idea first.







Majority of the objects' footprints do not match the object, and are one tiled footprints. The reason? To avoid pathway errors to get to the bed. Now, this will not effect any sort of gameplay or how the objects work.. it just allows this set to truly be DIY and for the bed to function the way it should.
Information About Shifting
Just like my previous DIY project, shifting was not an available option by itself because off-grid was enabled. Same thing applies to this project. Off-Grid makes the project modular and completely DIY.. while shiftablility is only a wanted but not truly needed feature to make this project whole. Though.. in majority of my pictures.. you can see how the objects have shifted, and that is because I have used an OMSP to shift them.. which I highly recommend! It's very handy and it also allows off grid to still be enabled.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
