Tooltip on double bed only indicates one Sim

 

As you can see, the bed is properly assigned to each sim. The left being to Aliyah, and the right to Caleb. However, for whatever reason when I click on the bed with Caleb to have him sleep it pops up the "This is Aliyah's Bed!" text over the word sleep. If I re-assign the bed to Caleb, it says "This is Caleb's Bed!" for Aliyah and still causes the issues. They are married, and have 3 kids together but they can't share a bed? Its weird because if Aliyah gets in the bed first, I have to tell Caleb to go to bed 3 times before he actually will. When he does, he initiates the cuddle sleep every time. If Aliyah goes to sleep after Caleb, she goes and wakes him up from his sleep, or just does the "Nope, cant do that!" hand wave and shrug. 

The only mods I have in my game are MCCC, UI Cheats, and Clothing mods. I have no other script mods or mods that could affect this. However, even when I remove all my mods, wipe my cache, and start a new save file it STILL persists saying that the bed only belongs to one of the sims. Its gotten to the point that I am actively having to fight the sims to get couples to sleep in their bed and its really annoying. 

Information you might need or want to know;
What DLC Do I Have: All of them, if its out I have it.
What Game Version: Current (1.115.253.1020)
Have you removed Mods: Yes, I have removed all mods, wiped the cache, and even made a new save.
What Beds Are Effected: All of the double beds. Every. Single. One.
Update You Noticed This: Lovestruck (could have happened earlier though)
Relationship High Enough: Their married, with 3 kids, with maxed out friendship & romance
Occult Types: Aliyah is a regular human, Caleb is a Vampire. However, I have tested with all occult types and non-occult and that does not seem to matter.

    Hello crinrict! I would like to really quick offer an update to this; as I think I discovered the issue. 

    If you do not manually assign the beds, but instead just tell the sims to sleep on each side, the bed will auto-assign the bed sides and you will no longer see the tool tip stating the bed ONLY belongs to one of the sims. When I manually assign one side, and have a sim sleep and auto-assign the other side, the tooltip issue persists, and if I have a sim auto-assign one side and manually the other afterwards the tool tip issue persists.

    This means the issue exists somewhere in the action of manually assigning beds, and not the actual overall assigning of the bed itself. A solution for the time being is just to not manually assign beds; and instead have sims sleep in the bed naturally and the game to "auto-assign" the bed sides. 

    However, this does denote this is likely a bug or glitch in the code with manual assigning somehow being counted different than auto-assigning. Not sure how that would be fixed but anyways. Thought I'd update you on my personal findings incase it helps find a solution!

    I have the same issue! Luckily it doesn't seem to impact my game very much (my sims tend to be able to sleep), but the tooltip definitely doesn't understand two sims sharing a bed in my game. 

  • i cannot assign double or single beds to any sims. when i select 'assign bed' the action starts but no assignment is made. my current game version is 1.118 but i do not have the Adventure Awaits EP.  i tested with no mods and the bug persists.

    i discovered the problem was mccommand center. even though i had it updated (version 2025.6.0),  i had the headline effects disabled. when i enabled it, the problem was resolved.
