Overview

This Mod aims to make all beds equal. Never mind the cost, all beds will give the same Energy gain and Emotion Buff relief as the top of the range bed. This allows you to pick your style and colour of bed to match your décor without the need to upgrade.

Applying the upgrades to a bed without this mod will deliver the same Energy gain for the sleeping Sim as a top range of the range bed. Lower quality beds get a bigger boost than high quality beds so once all the upgrades are applied Energy gain is about the same in all cases. However, this mod does a lot more than just increase the energy gain.

Description

This is a tuning mod that changes the way beds affect a sleeping Sim:

• Beds are upgraded by default – gives energy and comfort boost.
• Beds give the same Energy gain – All beds levelled up to top quality standard.
• Wake Up Buffs are the same for all beds – Standardised as a top quality bed
• Negative Emotions decay during sleep on all beds

That is how most of the beds are changed. But, not all beds work the same so there are tweaks to the above info and the mod is in categories so that you can pick and choose which game effects to override.

Standard Beds (cyclelegs_standard_beds_same_energy_and_comfort.package)
Covers all beds except for:

• Toddler Beds – Wake Up Tuning is not changed by this Mod
• Coffins – Wake Up Buffs and Vampire Tuning are not changed by this Mod
• Camping Beds and Tents – Outdoor type Tuning is not changed by this Mod
• Murphy Beds and Loveseats – Changed as per Standard Beds, including the upgrades, so Death by Murphy is stopped.

A Note on Murphy Beds
(cyclelegs_murphy_bed.package)

This mod will fully upgrade the Murphy Beds. Consequently, Death by Murphy Bed will not occur.

If you want to play Death By Murphy then don't install ' cyclelegs_murphy_bed.package'. You can get the extra Energy and some Comfort gain by completing the mattress upgrades. But, you will loose the Negative Emotion decay added by this mod.

Notes On Using The Mod
(Thanks to @maynaleen for suggesting this info)

• The Buy Mode description of the beds won't change, only the statistics are modified to match the Queen Ann Double Bed.
• The mod is working if you see the energy bar increasing with 3 arrows.
• The beds are fully modified. You can check this by selecting update on the beds. The option should be unavailable anymore.
• Gameplay stuff is retained by the mod. Teens will still 'fear the future', you still have the chance of waking up Sad etc.

Included In The Mod

There are 5 packages with the mod. You can have just one or all of them together. This gives the option to mix and match which aspects of the gameplay you wish to override.

• cyclelegs_standard_beds_same_energy_and_comfort.package
• cyclelegs_toddler_beds_same_energy_and_comfort.package
• cyclelegs_murphy_bed.package
• cyclelegs_coffin_beds_same_energy_and_comfort.package
• cyclelegs_camping_beds_same_energy_and_comfort.package

Standard Beds covers everything except:
Coffins
Toddlers Beds (see the note on sleeping toddlers)
Camping Beds and Tents
Murphy Beds and Loveseats



Credits
This mod is based on the work of Shimrod101 . The original All Beds Same Energy & Comfort mod can be found here . Shimrod101 has not updated the mod since July 2016. Rial updated the mod several times the latest of which is here . I reworked the mod after the 'Cats & Dogs' patch and have kept it updated .

A great many thanks from the Sims community to MonoChaos for keeping this mod alive since 2019 when I ignored it. I have not looked at the mod by MonoChaos so I don't know how it differs from my reworked version here. But I am sure it is an excellent version and I would be delighted should it be kept alive. I might decide to bugger off round the world again.

Install Options

• Unzip the download 'All Beds Energy and Comfort.zip'.
• Decide which of the 5 bed packages you want
• Put the selected package files in your mods folder.

Compatibility

This Mod changed the xml files listed below. There are some mods that change these files as well. They will conflict and the first file to load will be used by the Game. Of particular note is:

Already Upgraded by WhosAsking

The mod was created with v1.40. It is not compatible with versions of the game that pre date the 'Cats & Dogs' DLC release.
The mod is compatible with all DLC packs but they are not actually required for the mod to function. However, without the DLC you will not get the beds/tents/coffins that come with it.

This is a list of xml files altered by the mod. Any other mod that alters the xml file will conflict with this mod.

There are no changes in this mod from the version available at: http://simfileshare.net/download/466171/ with a release date of Feb 27 2018. If you have installed that version you do not need to update.
