[BY DESIGN] No 'Wake up' interaction on sleeping/napping sims

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.45.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have all the expansions/game/stuff packs except for bowling stuff, kid room stuff and toddler stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When a put a sim to sleep and need to wake them up im unable to select them, the option for 'wake up' is non existent, but when the command is manually closed out (i click on it to cncl it) the sim becomes selectable again
What happens when the bug occurs? A sim will go to sleep and become unselectable unless the /sleep/ command in the queue is closed out manually
What do you expect to see? the sim icon over the sim, to have them selectable
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I noticed the issue right after the patch that came out on the 31st of july i think it was

    I don't think it was ever different. Don't think it's a bug. It's just not something you can do. You need another Sim to wake you up and if you don't have that, cancel the queue.

    Well, then I am out of ideas for the moment. Let's see if anyone else sees this.

    Don't think that looking at your save would help as it doesn't seem connected to a specific save game.

    EDIT: Could you maybe record a video and upload to youtube (unlisted) then link here ? maybe that can give a clue what's happening.

  • I can later, I just got to work. But what happens is...

    I select a Sim that needs to sleep

    Once the sim is my active Sim I click on the bed and the menu comes up with the 'sleep' option

    The sleep command goes into the queue and my Sim does the command, they go the bed and sleep

    However, once they are asleep, I cant select the sim, putting the mouse on there body/head wont highlight the sim, when I click on the sim nothing happens (though i am able to shift click them and the cheat menu comes up)

    Not being able to select the sim while there sleeping means i can't bring up the wake up option, but I'm able to cancel the sleep action in the queue and also select other things around, I also noticed that if I have a second sim in the home, I can switch to that second sim and they can preform the wake up option on the other sim, 

    Basically no matter which sim is active, the active sim cannot preform actions/there not selectable while asleep

    OK. So maybe that's where the issue lies then. I don't think you should be able to do it with just one Sim. It's the other Sim that wakes the sleeping Sim. If you want to work with just one Sim, you'll need to cancel the interaction like you said.

    have you ever had an wake up option with just one Sim ?

    EDIT: Just tested this and yes, there is no such option if you don't have a second Sim to wake.

  • Ok so you can't select the active sim while there asleep either? Does that mean it's an issue in the patch?
