Clip-able Separated The Beauty of Negative Space Bed

*While working this bed I noticed an issue with the pillows with regard to my previous long beds. You will have redownload the previous set for the pillows to work on both mattresses. Chances are as I continue to make more clip-able beds issues like this will continue to pop up and I will correct them as I go. If you ever notice something isn't working delete it out of your mods folder and check for an update. If you have any issue leave a comment. I don't always notice everything. There are a lot of steps taken when making these. Thank you for your patience.

So, you are probably saying to yourself this has been done before, right?

Wrong.

What makes my mattresses and bed frames different is they clip into place and do not lack footprints. So no more accidently placing them through each other or a wall. Sims won't walk through them either. The frames still have their original yet modified tuning files so cats will still scratch the mattresses, bed frames, pillows and headboards. I do not own all the game packs so I'm not sure what other options are available in the tuning files and may have removed those. I also took the painstaking time to remove shadows from the mattress and bed frames so that down the road when I finish doing this to all the beds, they can clip onto bedframes that don't have footboards without looking off. The mattress and bedframe have a 40/60 split in price. I took the total cost of the bed and applied 60% of the total to the bedframe and 40% of the total to the mattress. I also noticed they reuse the same bed frame but only changed the padded headboard so I created 2 versions, I made a bed that you can clip the headboard onto and removed the duplicate bedframes. I also included a version that is normal in case some of you don't want the added pieces. I made the cost of the Headboard $100 and subtracted that from the bed frame cost. I also took 1 points off the environment score to give to the headboard. I also made the cost of the pillows $100 since there are two I figured 50 bucks a pop sounds right and subtracted that cost from the mattress. I gave them a positive environment score of 1 because pillows are fancy and decorative. Since this bed was a long bed and I created a short version, I had to make a special original swatch for it. There are actually 3 versions of swatches in the AllSwatches and 2 versions of them in the Original Headboard because I had to remove the extra pillow shadows for the short bed frame. There are actually 2 duplicate headboard swatches, unlike the frame I didn't remove them because I wanted to make it easy for you re rebuild the beds the way they were. For some reason the swatches have a color that matches the bed frame but the other color doesn't match either the mattress or the headboard and makes rebuilding the beds confusing. I will fix and reupload my mod if I notice issues in my game or if you guys bring things up to me in the comments section. Will I redo all the mattress and bed frames? I would like to but like I said do not own all the packs unfortunately. Will I do the packs I have? Yes. However, I am not sure how quickly. I have several package versions included in this download. See my additional notes below for more detailed information. As always, thank you for your download.

Additional Notes:

Why the different versions? Well, everyone is different. If you are like me, you have an attention to detail, and certain things will bother you. Items do cast shadows within the game even if they aren't on the texture swatches. However, they aren't as deep. So, on bed frames that have footboards and headboards they add that extra detail in the swatch. This added shadow looks off on bed frames that lack a headboard and/or a footboard. They do add somewhat more depth to objects with headboards and footboards so when paired with certain bed frames, they look better then without. The Utopiate bed frame and the Dirty Double box spring are the best examples where these shadows look off. So, I took the painstaking time to remove those shadows from swatches in order to make the mattresses compatible with other bedframes as seen my photos. I used a separated box spring from a different bed to show case an original swatch next to my swatch. This way you can see the difference in shading. Regarding the bed frames, I changed the mattress scores for the bed frames to the environment score equivalent. Bedframes can be ornate, and I felt this adds realism to gameplay. I adjusted the tuning files of the bed frames so cats can still scratch and hop on them. The current bed frames out their lack that option, lack footprints, and don't snap in place. Although I find the modders that originally separated these items amazing, I wanted to take what they did to the next level. Now your sim won't walk through it. You can move the items around like a table and chairs, instead of moving each on its own. As far as frame shadows go, I took the time to modify its swatches because at some point I want to make bed frames usable for sitting as well as napping. Which is why I want the frames to look good on their own. If you like CC but want the realism and shadow options for different frames you will opt to only keep the items with both swatch versions in one package. If you don't care and just want the new option of mattresses clipping onto bedframes, you'll keep the originals. If you do care about details somewhat and want that little added bonus of not having shadows where they shouldn't be you will keep the modified versions. I included all the options in this download, so the choice is yours.
