[OPEN] Bed ownership is being ignored

[Shadebrigade]

Also, have noticed this in my long save. Have not noticed in my new household and save.

What everyone else said, plus children will go over to the most tired sim's bed and sit on it to do homework. Exhausted sim subsequently passes out on the floor because the other sims don't do their business on their own beds.

No mods/CC.

mine just choose a random empty bed, even if their own is free for them to use!

(as a BTW, napping as opposed to proper sleeping is still a thing, too.)

I've been having the exact same problem too! I noticed it a couple weeks ago after I installed Jungle Adventure and Laundry Day stuff. It's extremly frustrating. I've even tried locking doors, but that either doesn't work or it ruins other imersive gameplay. 

No CC

I've tried moving the family onto different lots, different cities, deleting old beds, getting new ones, anything I could think of really. And still nothing.

Happening to me too. At first I thought it was just the way it was because I was playing with mods before the patch but removed them after the patch and I noticed this happening and it's driving me bonkers.  So I **thought**  maybe this was normal behavior for a modless game.

I'm playing a legacy family, so it's 2 parents and 5 to 6 kids at any given time and I've noticed none of them will stick to their assigned beds. It's pretty frustrating when you send your kid to bed, only to find mom or dad is sleeping in their bed. I've resorted to locking the doors and blocking access so they have no choice but to sleep in their assigned rooms. So I am reporting this bug too.

Please describe the patch or change you made. After the seasons' patch

‌

I do use mods, but I tested it without them and it still happens so those are not the problem.

I have used the claim action to make sure my sims sleep in the same beds every night, but recently, they’ve been sleeping in random beds unless I manually make them sleep in the beds they’ve claimed.

hi, is this it? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Bed-ownership-is-being-ignored/m-p/6874982

This has just started happening in my game. Sometimes, every sim in the household will be fixated on one particular bed, despite their claims on other beds. And sometimes, a sim will sleep in a random bed because their bed-claim reset and the sim has to be told to claim their bed again.
