Autonomous sleeping uses wrong side of bed

I have a double bed where I have assigned the left side of the bed for a Sim, but whenever she decides to go sleep autonomously, she first walks to the right side of the bed which is taken, cancels action and then walks to the left side as she should.

I would instead expect the Sim to try directly go to the left side of the bed. This issue to me at least seems like it started to only occur after latest update.

  • To be sure, you're not using any mods/cc ?

    Please always add a tag for your platform and mod status (Options are: CC, Mods, No Mods/CC, Mods/CC Removed).

  • Ah, no I am not. Never used mods or CC as far as I can remember. Or if I have it has been so long I don't remember and none should be active. I added a tag as requested, sorry for forgetting that. :)

  • Hmm, maybe I reacted too fast on this. I just had the same Sim autonomously choose the "Nap" action and she correctly walked to the left side as she should.

    So it's hit and miss or does nap work and sleep doesn't ?

    Ah, thanks for asking, it totally escaped my mind that if one action works, the other necessarily doesn't. I just tested autonomous "Sleep" specifically rather than "Nap" and the issue in the original message occurred again.

    So it seems to be a real issue.

    Two more questions then

    • Does it matter if you assign the left side or the right side ? Is it always the wrong side ?
    • If you re-assign, does it still not work (like assign someone else to that side, then switch back).

    Yes to both occasions.

    I first assigned Sim A who I had been experienced this with the right side instead and Sim B the left side, and Sim A would still walk to the right side.

    After, I re-assigned so gave left side to Sim A and right side back to Sim B and Sim A would still first attempt autonomously to go to the right.

    Thirdly I even switched the bed to see if it was behaviour tied to a specific furniture and the problem still persisted even on this new bed.

    And lastly the issue doesn't seem to be just this one Sim being affected but afterwards I changed control exclusively to Sim B and he would also always choose the right side of bed first unless the right side is occupied which makes them to cancel the action and either trying to sleep somewhere else (such as a free sofa) or to walk to the left side that was actually assigned to them.
