Simple sidearms

Colonists not remembering sidearms
I'm hoping someone can help me because this is turning into a huge pain. Basically, as the title says, people get put in bed and drop their gun but the game doesn't remember it. Through extensive testing, I've found that raiders will still maintain their gun memory, but only until they have been recruited and pick the gun back up. In no other case does anyone even remember the gun they had the moment it leaves their hands. I've searched for any info on this occurring to anyone else or other mod conflicts with stuff I have but the situation seems entirely unique.

This never happened before, just within the past couple days of playing. I've tried having multiple guns, setting the Weapon Drop Criteria to Never, switching mod load order around and even disabling suspicious mods that may do something to it, but nothing has worked so far. I'm going to attempt a new game where I enable mods one at a time until it breaks, but after hours of testing to try and fix this, I'm just going to play on with the added micromanagement of ensuring my soldiers keep their own weapons equipped in the hopes something comes from this.

The mods I've added in the past couple days are:
[LTO] Colony Groups
Prison Labor
Prisoner Capture and Manipulation
Locks
Character Editor
[O21] Seamless Embrasures
Razor Wire (With Damage)

If you're using Hospitality, uncheck the option that's called something like "Friendlies don't drop inventory on down", that is one cause for this.

Having the exact same issue. The point of failure is when they're rescued and put in bed. I know the "remembering" functionality is working 'cause they have no trouble remembering pieces of wood I didn't tell them to use, but as soon as they drop the weapon as a result of being put in bed they forget all about it.

Do you use Hospitality?

Nope. I use tons of mods, but not Hospitality.

Any further luck? Having a similar issue

Dang, I'm plagued with this exact issue as well... they drop their weapons when taken to a hospital bed and completely forget their sidearm binds, so I have to re-equip them with weapons everytime they're downed

Same here

I can confirm that as some mentioned above, I had been using Hospitality and that seemed to be the cause. I hadn't considered any of my older mods since last I played they had worked (perhaps I knew of and had fixed the issue back then). If it's not Hospitality, maybe look for mods with something similar that manages inventory AI (force drops guns, keeps guns, etc.) it could be a similar situation with just a different mod.

i have a similar issue...
when i have my guys go in a caravan, on the way back, it shows the sidearm in the caravan`s inventory, and when they arrive at the next site, they wont re-equip the side arm....
i have a ton of mods, including hospitality.

Guys, I've fixed the issue, go to this thread and read the "EDIT:" section
