05.10.2026 UPDATE: Added the guide how to fix CC beds causing pets floating
30.12.2025 UPDATE: Added the French translation into the mod directly. Thanks, Luniversims.fr <3 Alternatively, you can use the translation by Hope too!
We actually started working on this mod quite a while ago, but some issues took time to resolve. But here it is!
Main feature
As stated, this mod allows all pets from the Cats & Dogs EP (cats, kittens, puppies and small and large dogs) to sleep on beds. In the game, they currently sleep on sofas, and in some circumstances, cats can sleep on beds.
Nap together!
I mean, many of us love spending time with our pets in bed and having a nap together. Isn't that cute? ;)
There is a special 'Nap Together With Pet' interaction on beds. You can choose which pet your sim wants to sleep with. This has a positive effect on their relationship and gives them this sim a sweet moodlet. <3
Limitations
Large dogs can only sleep on double beds – they take up almost the entire space on single beds!
Sometimes pets sleep near the beds because the game thinks they need more space in these cases. or they may fly above a bit. That's not an issue with the mod itself. This usually happens with pets wearing the Cone of Shame.
You can choose a pet to nap with that is not currently sleeping, there is space on the bed, and this pet is in active household.
Also, pets can float above some CC beds. Read the guide below how to fix these beds
Additional Guide: How to Fix CC Beds
I'm talking about beds causing pets floating. We're going to fix it.
Step 1: Open the CC bed in Sims4Studio
Download the studio from this link and set it up. Next, on the main screen, click the “My Projects” button and find the bed you want to modify. Warning! This post is not for help with Sims4Studio downloading and setting up, that's just the initial step.
Step 2: find an appropriate height
The problem lies in what’s called the “footprint.” This is an object attribute that defines its boundaries, which Sims cannot cross. This is done to prevent them from falling through or walking through objects. For some CC beds, the footprint height is too high for cats, so we need to set a lower value.
To do this, open the Rigs / Slots tab. Now we see a bunch of pink triangles. They represent slots – that is, interaction points. What matters to us isn’t so much the triangles themselves as the height of these slots.
UPD: If you don't see this tab, go to step 3 trying to set height to 0.56. Choose from 0.55 to 0.65 if this value doesn't seem right.
Select the lowest triangle on the bed. Once you do that, the slot name and – most importantly – its coordinates will appear in the tab on the right. We’re interested in the Z value, which is the height. Copy the value.
You can click on various triangled to ensure you chose the lowest one.
Step 3: Edit the footprint
In the upper-left corner, click the Warehouse tab, and then type foot into the search bar above the files. This will help you find the file you're looking for. Click on it, and then click Edit Items next to the MaxHeightOverride field.
Now paste the copied height value into both PolygonHeightOverride tabs. Don't forget to save.
Save again when you close this window. Now you can check it in the game.
Result
It should look like this ;)
You can also send this post link to the creators of such CC beds, maybe they will fix it themselves.

P.S. Do you like the mod cover? :D
You might not know this, but my husband and I are actually cat volunteers. Sometimes our cats and foster cats take over the bed, so we don't have much space to sleep comfortably x)
