Bed thinks it is a light and not a bed.

Product: The Sims 4

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? place the "the bunk" bed from stranger Ville and try to sleep in it.
What happens when the bug occurs? the bed has convinced itself it is a light as you have the option to turn it on, off, change its intensity, etc. but you cant sleep on it. my sim will only sleep on their couch and not the bed.
What do you expect to see? my sim sleeping in their bed.

  • Hi @Goatliquor54 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

  • I'm also having the same issue with the space-saving single bed now. Tried it in different lots and it's the same in every lot. Did anyone manage to find the cause to this?

  • Replying to try to get some attention to the issue because I have the same issue 

    For me, it is the Strangerville pack beds. I have a decades challenge and it is only the military bunk that  has options for a light. Other beds work fine

    Interestingly, I am in WWII and I can't get them to bed?

    There is something to do with CC that is causing it because when I take out my CC, it resolves.

    I have a lot of cc so I am organizing and then I will be troubleshooting

    hello,

    i've found out that in my game the problem was linked to a piece of CC from Felixandre Florence set: Florence_Candelabra.package.

    if you have that, try to remove it and see what happens.

  • Thank you!! I was having the same issue, had that piece of cc, and removing it fixed it.
