How to Make a Low Loft Bed in The Sims 4

In The Sims 4, a loft bed can be a stylish and space-saving solution for cramped bedrooms. However, the standard loft bed option in the game can be quite high, making it unsuitable for some players who want a more accessible, low-to-the-ground look. Luckily, with a little creativity and some building skills, you can easily create a low loft bed that enhances the visual appeal and functionality of your Sims' bedrooms. This guide will walk you through the steps of building a low loft bed in The Sims 4.

Building a Low Platform Frame

To build a low loft bed, you need to start by creating a custom platform frame. This platform will serve as the base for your bed, and with a little adjustment, you can make it as low to the ground as you desire.

Select the "Build" tool and choose a basic foundation:
This will be the foundational structure for your loft bed.
Resize the foundation to the desired length and width of your bed:
You can use the "Resize" tool to adjust the dimensions of the foundation to your liking.
Adjust the Foundation Height:
This is the key to creating a low loft bed. Use the "Raise" and "Lower" tools to reduce the height of the foundation to your desired level. Remember, the foundation should be tall enough for the bed frame and mattress to fit comfortably underneath without touching the floor, but low enough to provide a distinctive loft bed look.
Add walls to the foundation:
Select the "Walls" tool and create walls around the foundation. These walls will act as the support for the bed frame and mattress. You can choose any wall material that complements the style of your bedroom.

This platform frame will be the base of your low loft bed. Make sure the platform is secure and sturdy before moving to the next steps.

Adding a Bed Frame and Mattress

Once the low platform frame is built, you can start adding the bed frame and mattress. This will complete the low loft bed and make it ready for your Sims to enjoy.

Place a Single or Double Bed:
Use the "Furniture" tool to place a single or double bed on top of the platform frame. Adjust the bed's position so it sits flush with the platform's edge. Make sure the bed's height is compatible with the platform's height – you want the bed to sit snugly on the platform.
Position the Mattress:
Position the mattress on the bed frame. This will give your Sims a comfortable place to sleep. If you desire, you can also add bedding, pillows, and blankets to complete the bed's design.

Now your Sims have a low loft bed! You can further customize the bed with different bed frames, mattresses, bedding, and decorative items to create a unique and personal style for your Sims' room.

Decorating the Underneath Space

The beauty of a low loft bed is that it allows you to creatively decorate the space underneath. This space can be transformed into a functional and stylish addition to your Sims' bedroom. Some ideas for decorating the space under a low loft bed include:

Add a Desk:
Create a small desk area for your Sims to work, study, or play games.
Create a Reading Nook:
Use a comfy chair, a small table, and a reading light to create a cozy reading nook.
Storage Solutions:
Utilize drawers, shelves, and cabinets to store clothes, toys, or other items, keeping your Sims' bedroom organized and clutter-free.
Add a Rug:
Add a rug to the space underneath the bed to define the area and add a decorative touch.

The possibilities are endless when decorating the space under a low loft bed. Just remember to choose furniture and decor that complements the overall style of your Sims' bedroom and serves their needs.

With these simple steps, you can easily create a charming and functional low loft bed for your Sims' bedroom. Remember to use your creative skills and experiment with different designs to create a bed that fits your Sims' needs and preferences. Happy building!
