Judging by the sheer number of makeshift spiral staircase tutorials for The Sims 4 on YouTube, I’d say that’s another one of the more desirable items for the game. So what’s next for Simmers to wish for once bunk beds are improved upon? In 2019, Maxis added customizable stairs - but The Sims 4 still doesn’t have a true option for a dramatic, spiral staircase.

Want to put a double bed under your top bunk? That’s a thing you’ll be able to do, too. Then, players will need to be sure to turn cheats on. To accommodate both the stairs and the bed, they will need at least four tiles along the grid, but more will be better. You can also configure any of these things, including beds, by turning the items to make them perpendicular to the top bunk. First, players will need to build or select the home and room in which they want to build their bunk bed. But it’s not only desks that can go under lofted beds! You can put dressers, chairs, couches, and desks - and they’re all functional. I cannot tell you how devastating it’s been to leave out the quintessential lofted bed with a desk underneath, a staple for any dorm room in the United States. This is a very exciting moment for anyone - me - who has a college dorm room setup in their current The Sims 4 save.
