Bed thinks it is a light and not a 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.

Good Luck

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.
