Bed Assignment's

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.112.481.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALL
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Put two sims in a relationship into a house with any in-game double bed. They DO NOT need to be married, as marriage does not affect this bug. Assign the left side to sim 1, and the right side to sim 2. Click on the right side with Sim 2 and hover over "Sleep" to see "This is (Sim 1's) bed!"
What happens when the bug occurs? As listed above, hovering over the "Sleep" option as Sim 2 states "This is (Sim 1's) bed!". Sim will also sometimes cancel the autonomous or player directed sleep action if Sim 1 is in bed first.
What do you expect to see? The sim should be able to sleep in the bed without this little text box stating they do not own the bed appearing. Additionally, the sim should have no issues autonomously or player-directedly sleeping in the bed.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? I originally thought this was related to mods, however all my mods are clothing and in no way affect gameplay. However this isn't the case, and this bug continues to occur.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? This has been a bug I have dealt with since the release of the Love Struck pack.

Generally speaking, I figured the issue was me and my custom content. However, the computer I used to use recently died on me during a severe hurricane. After building my replacement I downloaded the sims and played for the first time in years completely unmodded and on a fresh save, and yet this bug STILL occurs. I included an image showing that this states the bed belongs to Aliyah, however Aliyah is the wife of the sim I am currently playing and there is no reason for the game to act like Noah cannot sleep in the bed? Especially considering he is sleeping on the side I ASSIGNED to him.

    @TheBitzii 

    One thing you haven't mentioned is the friendship and romantic levels between the 2 sims assigned to the bed.  Chances are you are playing two new sims who were married in CAS when you made them or one of the premade households.  In my experience, CAS sims, even those you marry usually end up with low friendship and romance when you place them on a lot right out of CAS.  Most of the premades are the same way in a new game.  That doesn't change until you play them and improve the relationships though socials.  If the sims are not at least good friends, they will not sleep in the same bed no matter what you do.  What will happen is when the 2nd sim goes to the bed and gets in, the first sim will get up or the 2nd sim will give you a route block thought bubble and not get in.  If you send sim 1 back to bed, sim 2 will get up or sim 1 will give you a route block thought bubble.  Who's assigned to which side of the bed doesn't matter nor does marriage for the most part.  The game has always been this way.  To get 2 sims to sleep in the same bed at the same time, you have to get the relationship levels up, with friendship being the most important.  Or, otoh, if you play with mods, there are several mods that will let sims sleep in the same bed without any relationship between them including sims that don't know each other.

    Hope this helps.

    This issue is still persisting despite relationship levels. 

    They have maxed romantic, and friendship. They were not married in CAS. She was created, and he was a overworld sim (townie i guess) and they got married after dating for a while.
