visitors can't join relax in bed with sleepclock installed

[FreakyRufus]

Since installing the latest version of sleepclock (Jan 04, 2006), sims who are invited to join someone relaxing in bed will walk into the room, then will turn around and walk out of the house.  Once outside, they will stop, and then can do actions again (this happened to a visitor -- I know that a controllable character can cancel the action).  When this happened to a visitor, I made them selectable with InSIM, and there was an action with the text "NO BED FOR YOU!!".  This was when the only sim assigned to the sleepclock was at work.  A second time I saw this, the sim assigned to the sleepclock was the one relaxing, and the same thing happened to the invited, visiting sim.

So I guess that in order to invite someone to relax, I will either need to unassign all sims from the sleepclock, or will need to buy another double bed to bed used exclusively for relaxing/woohoo.  Is this the expected behavior of sleepclock now?

I just played last night after installing the new version of sleepclock and the same happpend to me ("NO BED FOR YOU" message). Except that mine happend with playable residents who were already asleep. When I loaded the lot one of the girls woke up and proceeded to go outside with a "NO BED FOR YOU" action. When her sister woke up the same thing happened. I thought this was happening because I had three sims in same room with 2sleep clocks (2 assigned to 1clock; 1 assigned to the other). It worked with the previous version but I figured the new one was configured differently. I deleted both clocks and installed just one with 2 sims assigned to it. There are still 3 beds in the room but I haven't had any problems so far. I want to have it set up like before however.
I didn't have any problem with other rooms and lots where there were only 2beds and 1clock.

Hmm, that's not supposed to be that aggressive. It's only supposed to repel random people, and autonomous sims trying to sneak into the wrong bed, so it shouldn't interfere with woohoo visitors. Are your sims at least best friends with the person they're trying to invite to join? There is a known issue that there will apparently be interference if you assign two clocks to the same room. Is that the case here? A solution is currently in the works for that problem. This will also occur if you're attempting to send visitors to someone else's bed, and the visitor is not affiliated with at least one of the bed's owners.

Yep.  In both cases that I mentioned, the sims are both at 100/100, with a pink and a red heart.

For my instance, there is one bed in the room and one sleepclock, with only one owner assigned to the clock.  In the first case I mentioned, the owner was away from the lot at work.  For the second case, the owner was the one relaxing on the bed alone, and invited a visitor to relax.

I deleted both clocks and installed just one with 2 sims assigned to it. There are still 3 beds in the room but I haven't had any problems so far.

I did not delete the sleepclock after updating the mod -- I bought the sleepclock and installed it with a previous version installed.  I can try deleting the clock and buying a new one to see if that makes a difference.

I just had the same problem, which I described over in the Firing Range under the Sleep Clock thread.

Well, I installed the update you posted yesterday (1/13/06), and it seems to be working as I would have expected now.  Visitors that have been invited to relax are able to do so.  I never deleted the old sleepclock -- I just updated the mod.

Thanks for all the work you've put into all your mods!  I've been using most of the ones from the moreawesomethanyou.zip for a while now, and they make the game much more playable and fun for me.

  I guess I was a little premature in stating that the problem I saw was completely gone.  The case that I tried it out on was for a sleepclock that had one sim assigned to it.  I had the same error (NO BED FOR YOU!!!) again today using a sleepclock that had 2 people assigned to it.

One of the sims who is assigned to the sleepclock invited a visitor to relax on the bed, and the visitor got "repelled" with the NO BED FOR YOU action.  The second sim assigned to the sleepclock was in a different room on the lot at the time.
