Toddlers Claim Bed Interaction
Have been playing a lot more lately since Cats & Dogs released and I noticed that toddlers don't have a claim option on beds like the children through elder do so really hoping that @SimGuruNick @SimG...

If I put my Toddler in a certain tot bed say a couple of times, The toddler will go to that bed to sleep.
What happens is the parent us the player may get it mixed up. And put them in the wrong bed.
Even if the parents did claim a bed, and they like go on vacation or sleep on any bed not their claimed bed, Now that parent no longer, for the most part, do not know their bed. and will chose a bench outside to sleep.
But the toddler will move to the next tot bed.
So even if they made this interaction possible for the toddler, we the player will keep making the mistake, which will cancel out the chosen bed. Also, do we want our Toddler to take themselves to bed every night,? No, that's not being a loving parent. so yes mistakes will happen and you start over again. Toddlers are considered helpless babies in Sims 4, and at bedtime need a caregiver, for the happiness of the toddler.
So yes they can add it if they wish for parents that do not like to put their toddlers to bed or sleep by reading to them and tucking them in. But soon as we make a mistake, the problem resurfaces.
I would rather see them fix a true problem.
I'm glad that for you the toddler will supposedly keep using whatever bed you have previously told them to sleep in but clearly for a lot of us it doesn't work that way. And this isn't real life ;) I don't know how big your families are that you play with. Maybe the parents and one kid but for me and several other simmers, we have big families of 10+ sims and maybe out of that 10, 3 of them could be toddlers. We don't have enough time for them to work, their needs being maintained AND reading a toddler (3 at that) to sleep every night so yes a claim bed option for toddlers would be extremely useful. I have no problem to keep making sims reclaim a bed after they sleep on vacation or whatever. I have my homes setup its not hard to remember whose room is whose. My point is toddlers should have a claim bed option just like every other sim.
