Sims not able to watch tv from laying on sofa

So I bought the new pack yesterday and decided to immediately decorate my sims home with new bb items.
I love lounge sofa's and was excited to give my sims this new cozy couch, but was very disappointed.

My sims were NOT able to watch the tv while laying on the lounge section on the sofa.
The funny thing is: the toddlers can.

How is it possible that when sims are laying in bed they can watch the tv, but from from laying on the sofa?
I honestly dont know if this is a bug, oversight or a decision made by the team.

So I thought I would ask you guys, were your sims able to watch the tv while they're laying on the couch?
If not, do you think it's a bug, oversight or a decision?

I don't know if I should report this as a bug or maybe tag a guru on twitter, but I don't know which one so I hope you guys could help.

Thanks in advance! <3


EDIT: I did some more testing and found this:

IF you let your sims to lay down FIRST and then click to watch tv they will get up and find another seat.
BUT IF you are first watching tv (and seating somewhere else) and THEN click on the lounge THEY WILL GO TO LAY DOWN AND WATCH IT!! (So I guess it's a bug?)

EDIT 2: I posted a bug report, please use the "me too" button if the same bug happens in your game:

  • Someone made a mod for the lounge chair that lets sims chat. Hopefully they ll do that for lounge sofas and when relaxing on bed. I can't remember who the modder was.
  • Update: I noticed my sim watching TV while relaxing on the chaise, but she did it autonomously. When I had her relax and then told her to watch TV, she got up and moved to the normal couch seat. ?

    My sim won’t even sit on the new sofa and watch tv. Lounging or not she refuses to sit down and watch it from there. She just stands. Help :(

    Works in another save so not sure what’s going on here. Hmmm

    Edit: nvm it’s working now. Restart must have fixed it :)
