My Sims Can't Sleep

My sims can't sleep. First it started with one Sim. I told her to go to bed, she'd walk up to it and then the action would immediately disappear. I thought well, that's weird. But they're moving soon so I'm sure it will be fine. They moved. She got a new bed and still couldn't sleep. Selling and rebuying didn't work, the girl couldn't even go to sleep in an iglo. She could only nap on a park bench. Then it happened to the other sim. I bought bunk beds for them and the second girl could not sleep on the bottom bunk. When she went to sleep on the top bunk, she immediately woke up. They. Can't. Sleep. Anywhere. And I have tried the solutions suggested in other threads with the restarting and the removing and adding the house but nothing works and it's driving me crazy. I love TS3 but everyime I give it another shot, some old stupid glitch ruins the whole game for me. Please help.

    @Lazslx  Go to Edit Town, evict the household, enter the house in Build/Buy, and delete all of the beds.  Then save the house to the library (but not the sims), bulldoze the lot, and put the house back.  You can go in and add new beds before or after you put the sims back in their house.  Once you do this, let the game clock run for a few sim-minutes, then use "save as" to rename the save (so the original remains intact), quit, and reload.

    When you place the new beds, I'd recommend putting them in a different room, at least at first.  It's always possible something's wrong with the bedroom itself.

    Both before you do the above and after (when you quit but before reloading), please delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts.  For reference, they are:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package
