I've always wondered how (or even if) it's possible to get an NPC to sleep on a specific side of a double bed. I think they take whichever slot is closest to them, which is fine for the vanilla game since it doesn't matter where NPCs sleep.

The closest thing to a workaround I've found has been to make a discrete X-marker for each NPC/bed position combo, and use the X-marker as a target in the NPC's sleep package, with a small radius (5 or so). This works about 99% of the time, but not always, and I'm wondering if an even more reliable solution exists.

If the radius is 0 and the marker is placed exactly on the node, the NPC will use that side of the bed. However, they seem to be incapable of actually entering the bed unless the player is there.
