We all know The Sims 4 doesn’t have the greatest selection of furniture, much less a great selection of seating.
And if you’re looking for the right ottoman to complete your room?
Forget about it.
Ottomans are one of those small pieces of furniture that don’t seem relevant until you have one, but the impact they make on room design (and foot comfort) is far from small.
Not only are they multifunctional, since they can support a wide variety of body parts and function as a high-spill-risk coffee table, but they’re also the perfect accent piece.
And with this list, I’ve taken the work out of finding them!
One of the greatest benefits of an ottoman is that they can be used as extra seating without using up too much precious extra space.
In the real world, that makes them invaluable since you usually only have so much room for all the big pieces of furniture you need.
But in The Sims… honestly, it’s the same situation.
These ottomans can be used individually, but they also come with seat-rest attached versions so you could easily fill a room with ottomans and your Sims would be none the wiser.
I have to warn you that the texture is definitely realistic, though. So it might stand out in a Maxis Match house.
I’m of the opinion that there’s no such thing as “too much” seating.
I love the idea of having plenty of different places for my Sims to cozy, chat with friends, read, or whatever else.
After all, that would be my ideal home.
And what else is the Sims for if not making an ideal world?
This ottoman is made explicitly for hallway usage.
Obviously you don’t actually have to limit it to hallways, but it’s designed so that you can slide it up against any wall regardless of having other seating nearby.
And this is no simple ottoman to set your feet upon, nor is it a basic one-person seating.
This is the titan Atlas, destined to uphold all of the heavens on its pillow-y, cushion-y surface.
Alternatively, it can hold up to three sitting sims and one decorative item in its center!
No matter what the task, this ottoman won’t let you down.
It has 5 recolors (green, navy blue, black, white, and coral) and can fit in with a lot of different designs – but if you want a perfectly matching interior, it actually comes as part of an optionally downloadable set.
I know, that sounds a little weird, but hear me out!
They’re rectangular, for one. They’re also really colorful!
But the kicker is that they’re perfect to piece together with other ottomans, just like those wonderful toy bricks.
Whether you buy into my lego metaphor or not, this ottoman will still be a fabulous addition to your build.
And they’re kid friendly (another similarity! I’m telling you, all they’re missing is the little lego imprint) plus they’re definitely safe since they can be used as edgeless coffee tables.
Kids in The Sims aren’t anywhere near as accident prone as real ones.
But it’s fun to kid-proof rooms just for the sake of it.
Crochet ottomans, AKA poufs, AKA the ultimate bean bag upgrade, are the kind of stool that I’d love to have in my bedroom (as opposed to the living room).
This means they’re already filling a very underserved niche.
You might be wondering why you would even want a crochet pouf/ottoman instead of just a bean bag.
Fair question!
Bean bags are exclusively used for seating, but this CC can easily be used as a table, chair, or as an easy way to display your sims’ imaginary crocheting hobby.
