Why am I still getting the awful barracks modifier?

It says they are mad cause they had to share the room with someone else. The thing is the only two people in there are husband and wife. I moved the other guy to his own room. The only other thing is the pet sleeps in the room as well.

awful barracks is based on room decor, size, and cleanliness.
so it could be you haven't furnished it well or it is very dirty. pets tend to increase mess in the areas they travel to

Are there multiple beds / sleeping spots? This may contribute to it being a Barracks instead of a Bedroom.

Yes, there is an unused bed. Maybe I should uninstall it and see what happens.

That'd be part of it, then.

Removing the spare bed should make it a Bedroom rather than Barracks, so the next step is fixing up the 'Awful' part.

There should be useful info on https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Room_stats#Impressiveness , and the links on that page. You don't need to do a bunch of maths when figuring out room values, as any amount of dirt is gonna skew the end result. Just give them space to live in, ideally with room for a fancy sculpture, and make the floors better than bare dirt; and if you're building into a hill/mountain, Smooth Stone is also an option.

My bedrooms are 5x5 (7x7 including walls) that have a double bed, carpet, a dresser, an end table, 1 plant, 1 statue, and a light. Once that is good to go, should never have to worry about an ugly room... Unless your pawns bleed all over and never both to clean up...

That should be your issue. Even if the bed isn't owned, it'll still make the bedroom a barracks. Uninstall it, give the game a few seconds of run time to update, and then your pawns should be happier with their new, private room.

As others have said, it's the extra bed in the room that's not being used.

Animal Sleeping beds don't count against that.

Also - The spaciousness of the room should offset mood penalties in general (it sounds like it, at least) but they'll still complain if it's ugly, so clean it up and put nice furniture in there. A few well-made chairs will push the room value up a bit if you have some laying around.

You can use the Beauty overlay in the bottom right-hand corner. The icon that looks like a sideways face/eye/whatever... You'll see it untoggled. Toggle it on and a heat-map with values will be around your cursor. Hover that around their room to find out what's causing the problem (Ugly). Then, fix it. :)

If you put a married couple in one room, but give them two single beds, then they are in a Barracks and will be unhappy about it.
The *only* way it will count as a private room despite 2 occupants is when the two are married/lovers AND share a double bed AND there are no other beds, including unallocated beds, int he same room.

Yep, that's what happened. It was still better though, as awful bedroom was like 2 points less than the awful barracks modifier.
