Yes, the motive resets are annoying which is why I also try to target the middle of the night. And then I almost always adjust things back to close to where I think they were with testingcheatsenabled before sending them back to bed or whatever they were doing. Losing overnight guests is even more annoying as my sims are overly hospitable and love having friends/relatives over all the time. But honestly, even an active sim is occasionally going to get stuck behind a bookcase, swimming under the ground, unable to get out of a room, in some odd scenario or something that just won't let go, not every day but occasionally, so I never feel totally squeamish about MC Resetting them when it seems needed.
My favorite one is where they have left a night venue before closing time and are made to go stand outside the venue while everyone else is shoved outside. They have made it home already or nearly so, and thought they were done for the night, but no that's not good enough. They have to go back to the venue and stand outside of it again. Resetsim from TCE just never feels like it does enough of a reset to be worthwhile.

@igazor I couldn't believe it the first time, so I closed my game and tried again with the same results - 5 1/2 minutes! And that was with all the photos still on the walls. It was definitely worth the slight inconvenience of moving them next door and back!
Whoa, I got this one right (or close enough)? The week just started here, maybe I had better quit while I'm ahead. But glad that helped, not resetting the current lot for such a long time was just calling out to me as a potential source of trouble. :)
