I've always liked decorative bed blankets and pillows, but almost never used them. Clipping through sims would bug me, and no way I would remove those decorations by hand every time sims go to bed

This mod automatically hides décor located on a bed when sims go to sleep, relax or jump on that bed, and unhides it when they get out and make the bed



Update: August 2024
Completely rewritten mod. New versions work with custom categories instead of "sculptures": 1) it won’t hide décor that we don’t want it to hide, like stuff on shelves above beds, 2) new helper cube lets us "update" objects in game (every time we buy new item, but still)
Also a couple of versions with additional features
Choose only one version of the mod
Don't use, if your latest expansion or stuff pack is lower than Seasons
How to Use
- Place some pillows, blankets or other decorative objects on beds (so that they on the same tiles)
- Buy blue helper cube in Mics/Misc
- Click on the cube to set one of the two categories to bed décor
- ONLY CHANGE DECORATIVE OBJECTS. If you accidentally changed category of a functional object and it stopped working properly, you can sell it and buy a new one
- You may sell the cube when you're done

Details
- Hammocks are not supported
- If a bed is removed while decorations are hidden, they will not go anywhere and stay in place being invisible. You can unmake and make new bed to unhide them, use helper cube to zero out the category, or delete hidden objects with stuck object remover
- There's a way to permanently modify décor object to avoid doing the cube dance every time -- opening its package file and setting the category in its Init Function (276 for bed décor, and 277 for bed décor ok to relax on)

Conflicts
- abortbedmaking - included in my mod
- bedsidefix - you only need this fix if you have BV and don't have any of the later packs (FT, AL or M&G); if you keep it, make it load before my mod
- ijUseInaccessibleBeds - remove it and get unmadeBed_useInaccessibleBed
- getdressed - remove it and get unmadeBed_useInaccessibleBed_changeClothes
- my Use Inaccessible Bed - get unmadeBed_useInaccessibleBed version if you want both features
This mod may clash with other mods that override the same resources

Versions
- unmadeBed - no added features, for game versions up to Free Time
- unmadeBed_AL - no added features, for those who have Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden
- unmadeBed_useInaccessibleBed_AL - allows sims to use inaccessible beds, for AL and M&G. Note: I created my own way of using inaccessible beds, see how it works here
- unmadeBed_useInaccessibleBed_changeClothes_AL - sims change after making their bed, can use inaccessible beds, for AL and M&G
Bonus:
- Optional ACR 2.0 edit for those who chose useInaccessibleBed version. Replace "ACR - Controller - Bed Socials" with my file (it's for ACR version 2.0)
