Fitted furniture

 

These are some typical British-style bedroom fitments.  I have tried to introduce space-saving features where possible.

            

Back views of all units are the same height as the chest of drawers so that you can have units all round the room without blocking your view.

All these items may be cloned.

      When the bed is made, it folds into the cupboard and the Sims can use the floor space to walk over.  You can't put furniture on the three tiles though.

If you want to use a different bed, you can still have that fitted look by linking the units with these top box bridging units

           
      Single-tile dresser.  Does not block side of bed.

      Low dresser.  Does not block side of bed.  Cannot be used as surface.
           
      High dresser.  Sits on same tile as a low object, appearing to form the upper half of it.

      Vanity unit.  Similar function to end table.  Does not block side of bed.
           
      Vanity wash basin.  Does not block side of bed.

11th September 2004 fixed so Sims can use it!!!

           
      Cloned from original bathroom medicine cabinet so can be used for cleaning teeth or charisma.

This is a high level unit that can sit on the same tile as the vanity basin or any other lower level unit to make one full-height unit.

           
      Lamp table.  Similar function to end table.  Does not block side of bed.
           
      Lamp table for taller lamps.  Similar function to end table.  Does not block side of bed.

      Corner unit.  Players can put things on but Sims cannot.  Might block side of bed.
           
      Corner unit going the other way.

Sorry could not get sprites lined up perfectly in rear and side views, especially in smaller zooms.  Probably not quite the right shape to start with.  Anyway, here it is if you want it :D

           
     

Chest of drawers, similar function to end table.  Does not block side of bed.

           
      Identical to original cheap bookcase but hacked so Sims can get into bed next to it.
           
      Bookcase with different appearance.  Does not block side of bed.
           
      Low book case.  Does not block side of bed.  Cannot be used as surface.
           
      High book case.  Sits on same tile as low object, appearing to form the upper half of it.

Please note, Sim always reaches downwards to take book, which can look strange.

           
      31st August 2004 fixed to stop animals walking through desk.

Always-open desk.  Particularly suitable for large computers.  Sims may eat at this.  Blocks side of bed if placed next to it.

           
      31st August 2004 fixed to stop animals walking through desk.

Drop-flap desk.  This opens and shuts dynamically when objects are placed on it or picked up.  Sims may eat at this.  Blocks side of bed.  File includes chair.

      Chair included in file with drop-flap desk.

Disappears when not in use and leaves floor space free to walk over.  If you're not sure whether you placed chair the right way round, get a Sim to sit in it as soon as you have placed it.

          Sims use chair autonomously to read or relax, and - if used with drop-flap desk - also to eat at.   Won't autonomously use for watching TV or playing computer (shows "no chair" thought bubble), but can be overcome if you instruct them to sit first (click on invisible object when you see the little star!) and then tell them to use the TV or computer once sitting.

Cloning advice: If you clone the chair, it will make it less likely the Sim will be able to use it to eat at the desk.

           
      Identical in appearance to the roll-away chair, but this one stays out and visible all the time (takes up floor space) and can be used by Sims for anything the disappearing one gives them problems with.
           
        File of three "clutter" objects to make the units look lived in.  Invisible at the back.  Only suitable for use with the tall units as they are trimmed to fit the sides.  These are objects that co-exist on the same tile as the furniture and do not use up space on the surface.

14th Sept 2004 trimmed properly so they will go on either wood grain or white units.

           
      Stereo in cabinet the same size as the chest of drawers.  Cabinet closes when turned off.

This was cloned from the Super Star stereo, on a Makin' Magic platform, so there may be EP issues.  Let me know if it doesn't work for you then I can label it appropriately.

           
      TV in cabinet that can go on the same tile as another object, and at the right height to team with the Hi-Fi cabinet or chest of drawers.  Cabinet closes when turned off.

Although this *was* the original vanilla TV, Maxis updated it for EPs after SS, so there may be compatibility issues.  Let me know when you find out :D
