Global mod that could turn every existing sofa into sofa bed? Yeah, I wish, but in this case it's one object at a time. Or I should say, two objects. Two new meshes, shadows, all that.
I'd love to have more sofa beds myself, so I've nothing against your idea. Maybe I will make some more. Maybe someone else will (I hope!).

This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen come out for Sims yet! Think of the space-saving possibilities! I actually have guest beds like these in my home in real life! Thank you so much for making these lovely mods. I do enjoy seeing realism in the Sims 2 once in a while.

Thank you! This is great :D

Can I just ask (sorry if this is a silly question) - what do you mean by delete cache files before going in game? Thanks

@emj192, here you go: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?tit...ete_Cache_Files

When you add new custom content it's best to delete groups and possibly accessories.

Me, I cleared these two files and made them read only, so they're always empty, because I test often and got sick of deleting them all the time. But I'm not qualified to recommend that to others.

This looks amazing and I would love to try it! But, even if we are certain this is not your creations' issue (I am the only one with this problem after all), do you have any idea why these flash blue?

@Annorah, sorry to hear that. Do you have any default replacements for original Ikea sofa or something like that? Something that would change it's model name or textures or anything like that. It's my first guess.

Hey! Love these objects. Just a question: I had a coffee table in front of my sofabed with a decorative object on it and after the first use the decorative object disappears when the sofabed is folded. Am I doomed to a fate of undecorated coffee tables or am I doing something wrong? (I do have your bed unmade bedding/object hiding mod too of course).

Yeah, it's bed unmade mod's doing
I guess, you're doomed then.

Hey, @Lamare. I've been using this in my game and it works great so far. Just one thing though - when sims go for ACR woohoo, they might use the sofa while the bed's hidden and they start woohooing while floating. I'm still keeping it and it's not a problem for me at all, but just thought you might want to know in case someone else says the same thing.

Thank you, @Sketching I'll see what I can do about it.

Default Update
Here's what changed:
1. Clickable areas on beds are better now (still not perfect, though).
2. Sims won't use hidden parts of sofa/bed for modded autonomous actions (concerns ACR and the such).

Thank you to @Sketching for reporting the issue with ACR.

Thanks, Lamare, and no problem. I haven't noticed any other issues with sims using the hidden bed/sofa for ACR and other modded actions. I'll let you know if I find anything else. Keep up the good work!

Un grand grand merci, j'attendais des clic clac bien avant que les sims 4 arrivent je n'avais pas les sims 2 ry je l'avais demandé dans les sims 3 car trop de petites maisons et pas de places pour faire dormir tous les sims. Vu que je ne joue plus du tout aux sims 4 que je ne regrette pas . la seule chose que je regrette des sims 3 c'est le lit du futiir ou on pouvait sélectionné les rêves alors merci pour votre création zt surtout n'abandonnez pas car je trouve dommage que bcp de créateurs ont abandonnés leurs merveilleuses créations ou mods dommage encore merci a vous
