My married sims won't sleep in the same bed.

I have had this bug since the lovestruck pack, so my sims are married, they have slept in this bed and woohooed no problem before, they still can woohoo, but when one of the two sims (no matter which one) goes to sleep, the other one won't, either they cancel the action and there's a "?" above their head, or they go into the bed and get up immediately wthout sleeping, and after many attempts if I'm lucky they'll decide to cuddle while sleeping and that's the only moment they'll both sleep at the same time in the same bed but I dob't know how to trigger it so I just have to try oer and over to make them sleep.

I have tried removing all the mods, in a new save with another bed on another lot with another sims but no matter what I do, no matter where or which sims I always have this bug and it's getting pretty annoying, I don't know how to solveit, there's no radio or anything on the lot either that could be preventing them from sleeping, if anyone has an idea I would really appreciate it thank you.

I've attached a screen of my sim getting out of bed right after getting into the bed.

  • @UnsatisfiedH Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, do a "vanilla" test to see if a mod/CC is your problem: Move (not copy) the Mods folder to the desktop (or rename it), delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

    Hi thank you for your response, so I had already tried without any mods or cc but I didn't delete the localthumbcache, so I tried again and deleted it this time, I couldn't load my usual save (probably bc I lacked a lot or CCs and mods I'm not worried) so I tried with the save I had used before for the same purpose but this time in the Goth family so I can be sure it's not the lot, house or sims, the I made the couple go to bed a few rimes, the bug is still there but I managed to get them to sleep properly a bit faster than in any other saves I have somehow, but yeah they still either cancel the action or they go to bed then get out immediately without sleeping at all even when they're tired, but if one od them cancel the action to just sleep in the bed and trigger the actito sleep into their partner's arms, they sleep the whole night like that with a problem and since I never had that problem before buying Lovestruck I think it could be a bug coming from the pack ?

    @UnsatisfiedH Could you do this test for me, please?

    1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop, or rename it.
    2. Run a Game Repair
    3. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
    4. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

    If that works, start putting old content back:

    1. Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
    2. Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select an older save to test.

    If that works:

    1. Copy your old Tray files (this is your Library), Screenshots and Videos files.
    2. To test mods, copy the files into the new folder *in batches* with any mods they depend on (injectors and core mods, for example). Don't copy your old resource.cfg file. If you delete any mods from the new folder, delete localthumbcache.

    Hi, my apologies for the delay, so I did what you said, it does it again but less often when I'm in one of my old saves (I had only put one randomly in the new saves folder) but it didn't do it at all before that when all the documents were new, so I might just go from there since it seems to work it doesn't bother me much to abandon my saves I'll just keep them in my external hard drive just in case, I thank ypu for your help and wish you a good day !

  • Same for me. Ps5 user. This only started happening after the Lovestruck install. What happens is, if you trigger the sleep action at the same time, one won't go to sleep, they wave hand in the air like there's something blocking them. The other is, if one couple has already been asleep in bed, then you click on the bed for the other sim to sleep, they walk over to the side of the bed where the other is sleeping (that side isn't assigned to that sim trying to sleep but it's acting like it is) get into sleep wear, go to their side of the bed, gets into bed, then jumps out. It works 100% of the time if one of the sims wants to "fall asleep cuddling" without me, triggering that action. I have each side assigned to each couple. Left, wife. Right, husband. That could be one of the issues now with the Lovestruck pack bumping heads with the assigned spots and them wanting to cuddle with the already asleep sim but I cant figure out how to remove the assigned spots atm. Hope all this makes sense.
