Hi @Bulbizarre
I just did what you described and none of that happened. But apartments are a bit weird, a few bugs now and then are to be expected.

Hi @LimeyYoshi
Quarter tile placement is disabled for these objects. See, beds are created in real time and are placed on the lot by the game, and the game places objects by grid, so in order for the bed to be strictly underneath the sofa, we have to have it on grid too.

Default Update
Improved Sofa Bed and Chair Bed!

Fixes:
- No more waiting in Live Mode for newly bought beds to become fully functional
- No more untimely unhiding in visited neighbors' apartments
- No autonomous unfolding without sleep
- Fixed pie menu texts for some languages

New features:
- Quarter tile and off-grid placement enabled (if placed off tile, you have to adjust bed part by hand to align it with its seating part)
- Both bed and sofa/chair are visible in Buy Mode upon placing the object so that you can recolor sheets and adjust placement right away (one of the parts will hide in Live Mode)
- Sleep interaction shortcut -- unfold and go to bed in one click (sleeping autonomy and user directed sleep are the same as for other beds; if you have a global mod that changes conditions, it'll apply to these beds as well)
- Option to temporary disable autonomous sleep

Other changes:
- Can sell unfolded beds
- Can place chair bed next to a wall
- Bed unfolds in "made" state even if no one made it before folding

Sell old beds and buy new ones in game for best experience (I kept GUIDs and filenames the same)

Aw thanks @grinevilly
You helped! If I remember right, remote control was your idea

With the legacy version now not including the Ikea Pack stuff, is there anything done to get around that?

Maybe you could make somehow a murthy bed with sofa from tiny living to be functional as that?

Here you can see more of my creations and conversions for sims 3. ;) I`ll glad to see your comments in.

did anyone else have issues with it disappearing every time you leave the lot before this updated version?

One of the old versions had a problem with both parts hiding in apartments sometimes, because it sort of clashed with apartment's own hiding of objects procedures. In 2024, I got rid of hiding altogether and changed it to model swap. Should've fixed it. It's possible that you've used a pre-2024 version up until recently (or not). But feel free to let me know, if you experience issues with this newer version. Include details like when and where, lot type, etc
