Settler Sleep AI Fixes - Bed Sharing - Auto Bed Search - Assignment Priority - Huge Bed Collection

About this mod:

If you ever wanted to build beds and let your settlers sort out who gets which bed themselves without worrying about them standing all night long next to the beds (if they're assigned to a bed at all) or loosing settlement happiness, or maybe building "true" Double Beds or Bunk Beds for two, three or even four actual settlers for space saving, then this mod may sound interesting to you.

Generally, it aims to fix the game's "bed situation" with AI features like Bed Sharing, Auto Bed Searching and Assignment Priority. The mod also comes with a quite huge collection of two, three, four-person beds that settlers can "share" with each other. Both "normal" Extender and Replacer versions are available. In addition to the base game beds, it contains numerous variants of the Creation Club beds too.

Vanilla system, issues:

If a settler can't access their assigned bed, they usually stand in one place all night long.

When the player builds a bed, a random settler gets assigned to it who becomes the only one that can use it afterward.

A bed (despite being a double or bunk bed) can only count as one bed in the settlement's resource "Beds" value.

Sometimes, when arriving at a settlement at night, even if everyone has an assigned (and accessible, non-blocked) bed, settlers can still be seen wandering toward their bed instead of sleeping in them already.

Even a very small object next to a bed can block it, causing the pathfinding AI to fail and preventing settlers from accessing it.

Mod added changes, improvements:

Settlers don't necessarly need to be assigned to a bed. Those who are assigned to one will try to use that bed ("Assignment Priority").

However, if a settler can't access their assigned bed (or they don't have an assigned bed at all), they try to find an unassigned bed to sleep in it without assigning themself to it. ("Auto Bed Searching").

And if they can't locate any bed (all remaining beds are inaccessible / all taken / the settlement doesn't have enough), instead of standing in one place, they sandbox in the settlement (shopping, wandering, etc.) ("Failsafe Sandboxing"). Once you build enough beds, sandboxing settlers immediatelly acknowledge it and will go to sleep in them. ("Real-time" Auto Bed Searching). (Those who already have found an unassigned bed to sleep in won't wake up to go to sleep in the newly built bed).

The mod comes with a huge collection of "multiple sleep animation markered", non-assignable, shareable beds that allow more settlers to sleep in them ("Multiple Markered Beds"). They're not assignable because no settler can keep them exclusively for themself. They come in both Extender (count as new beds) and Repla
