📋 About This Mod
**UPDATE 7 JUNE 2023: Having recently started a new playthrough after a long absence, it struck me that I really didn't make enough recolours of the small (Military Cot) bed, at only three options. So I made another five options to bring it up to eight. The new colours are gaudy colourful mid-century prints like the others. See pic of the new five below, and the new files are in .esp and .esl versions.
Hi, I make colourful/quirky stuff. If you also play The Sims games, you might know me as Esmeralda from Mod The Sims.
EZZY'S COLOURFUL COMMONWEALTH: BED AND SLEEPING BAG RECOLOURS
ESL versions included for those who prefer .esl to .esp. Note in case you don't already know how to install .esl files: Install the .esl with Nexus Mod Manager, then close NMM, go back into it again, and then manually click the mod in the list under NMM's Plugins tab in order for it to show up in the game.
ELEVEN BED RECOLOURS
This is a set of 11 colourful bed recolours. They are all in authentic 1950s retro Mid-Century Modern/Atomic style fabrics. Found in the Beds section of the Workshop catalogue, they all require 5 cloth and 4 steel.
The double beds have had their dull grey blankets recoloured as colourful blankets or bedspreads, and the Cot and Hospital beds as cheerful mattress covers plus also one Cot retexture in the default clean double bed's mattress texture. Just throw on a couple of Comfy Pillows to make them look suitably cozy.
EIGHT SLEEPING BAG RECOLOURS
Here are eight colourful sleeping bag recolours, if you are fed up with only having that one dull-coloured bag and would like to jazz things up a bit.
They are found in the Workshop catalogue in the Beds section, and use the same amount of cloth as the default items.
They come in Camo, Green, Pink, Orange Argyle, Faded Flower, Dots, Blue, and last but not least, Unicorn Kitten & Rainbow if you're really feeling like being silly.
*NEW ADDITIONAL SET OF FIVE COT RECOLOURS, JUNE 2023:
These are in Atomic Blue Ovals, Biohazards, Lucien Day Red and Black, Retro Ovals, and Tangerine Bimorphic.
These sets of recolours are additional textures (material swaps), not replacements of the original default textures.
Thanks for looking, hope you'll find the beds cozy and the sleeping bags a bit of fun.
Made with Bethesda Creation Kit, Bethesda Archive Extractor, Material Editor and Photoshop.
