Toddler Bed REDUX

This is less of an update and more of a complete redo of my old toddler bed. The big change is that this operates more like a regular bed, just toddler sized. Honestly, kind of a nightmare and if I could go back in time and not have the idea to do this, I would but anyway, here it is. 😭 Works pretty much like a regular bed, they can sleep and take naps. If they have a stuffed animal, they will sleep with it. Toddlers can jump on the bed and other Sims (Teen+) can read them to sleep.

I would recommend removing the old toddler bed even though this is a separate file but I consider that version now obsolete and it is archived. The localization files from that bed have been added to this one as well so it comes with partial French, Brazilian Portuguese and Korean translations.

In addition to that I've also included a custom dresser that toddlers can use to change clothes on their own. So now my dream of fully independent toddlers that no longer need my attention is complete! *insert evil laugh here*

Requirements: None I believe, everything should be BGC but some audio from Generations but if you don't have that, you simply won't hear anything. Built on ver 1.67, should work with 1.69

Credit/Thanks: Blam’s EA Store for the original bed which I just sized down and edited. @leaf-motif for the dresser and mattress which is from her Keller Bedroom set. Thanks to @zemyna for testing and the photos used throughout! She also found some toddler bed frames that are compatible with the mattress (linked below).

Details on features after the cut

Bed features:

Toddlers will use the bed autonomously if they are sleepy

If toddlers have a stuffed animal in their inventory, they will sleep or nap holding it.

Teens+ can use to Time for Bed/Nap interaction to send toddlers to bed but depending on their mood and/or traits, toddlers may put up a fuss about it

Teens+ can read toddlers a bedtime story to put them to sleep. If the toddler has a stuffed animal/toy in their inventory, they will hold it while listening to the story. This will also satisfy the want to read them to sleep. You can only read toddler books to them and it will count towards a book they have read. Reading a toddler to sleep will give them good dreams.

Toddlers can jump on the bed for fun but will get scolded if they are caught jumping on the bed by a Teen+.

There's a chance toddlers will fall if jumping and can hurt themselves. They can tell an adult to remove the buff.

Toddlers might wet the bed if their bladder motive is low while sleeping. This chance increases if they're not potty trained. It may wake them up if they do. If they complain about this to an adult, the adult will be pushed to clean them up. Depending on what you have in your home, it will either push the adult to bathe them in a tub if you have the Toddler Interactions mod or changing table if you have the Store item; or just change their diaper if you have neither.

Toddlers can also wake up from a nightmare if their motives are low or if they are light sleepers and won't be able to go back to sleep. Telling an adult (Teen+) will remove the buff so they can go back to sleep.

Child+ can make an unmade toddler bed or change the sheets if it has been soiled. If soiled, it will spawn a laundry pile if you have a washing machine on the lot.

The set includes 1 bed (pictured in the first image) + 1 mattress (pictured below) on its own. Both are CASTable. Feel free to resize any of your favorite EA or cc beds to make your own! However, as I adjusted these beds for the animations, it's best to clone this bed or mattress as your starting point. Given the small size of the toddler bed, regular-sized end tables are too big and can block routing so if making your own beds with matching end tables, I would suggest sizing down the end tables as well.

Notes:

For whatever reason the mattress presets can't be changed in CASt, only in the catalog when you're selecting it. Not sure why. It's not that important to me to investigate further since you can still change the presets but if someone knows, I'd be curious!

The bed mirroring (being able to flip the animation depending on what side of the bed you are on) is a tricky thing and the bed animation sometimes gets stuck resulting in the bed not animating if you start using one side instead of the previous side you were using. As a workaround, I have the bed stop its animation in these cases. So if the bed was unmade it will look made but it's still considered unmade and will need to be made.

Here is the list of toddler bed frames (example above) sourced by zemyna that are compatible with the mattress. There may be more but these were the ones she tested. We are grateful to sim in a world where @martassimsbook exists:

Nordica Toddler Bedroom

Hello everyone,

This is an update regarding the state of the blog. Unfortunately all of our mods must focus on IRL and other situations that need to take priority.

As such, this blog has officially gone into archival mode. We will leave all existing posts up with their appropriate tags, and likewise the discord will remain live for community archives and discussion.

Sadly this is fairly typical for online volunteer based blogs and systems, and other things must take precedence.

If anyone is ever interested in taking over the blog, feel free to reach out. Ideally we would want to pass the torch on to a group of persons with similar standards and beliefs as we've cultivated this blog to reflect.

I (Roast) will try to keep an eye on tumblr's messages for the next coming days, but can be better reached on discord.

Thank you all for coming along with us on this ride! :)
