Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)What is your current game version number? 1.50.67.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Backyard Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff and Vintage Glamour StuffSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? have a sim sleep with a powerful moodlit, especially PlayfulWhat happens when the bug occurs? the sim goes to bed, but instead of the Asleep moodlit overpowering the other ones, the other active moodlits will show insteadWhat do you expect to see? sims sleeping with the Asleep moodlit overpowering all moodlitsHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No I have noticed that its just the Playful and Very Playful moodlits that overpower the Asleep moodlit, it resets after I wake up the sim and send them to bed again. I have some pictures attached

Hi @ChrinnieSims - Is there a particular moodlet that seems to be keeping them awake? Or is it just every time they autonomously sleep? I found a previous report from over a year ago, although most reported it wasn't an ongoing thing and/or was caused by a mod or cc: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TROUBLESHOOT-moodlit-sleeping-bug/m-p/7723616/highlight/true#M87251 Since you've already removed all your mods/cc, could you try a game repair to see if that helps the issue? Exit TS4 completely first, then right-click on the game icon in Origin and choose "Repair". Make sure you let it run through the base game and all the packs before you enter the game. Then check to see if it's still happening. If that doesn't clear it up, let us know. A screenshot of the problem could be very helpful, too. Thanks!

I have enclosed a screen grab. It happened after whohoo. I also did repair game and started a new save file just in case.... Same result And it's become a regular issue to the point I have to make sure I click the specific sleep action on the bed otherwise they arise to go to work without having refilled energy. It only happens when the sim goes to bed without my command, though.

Sorry, had a bit of a busy day...It seems like it, from my point of view. So if you want to merge, then please merge away! :D

Thank you for the information... it sounds like this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sim-not-getting-sleep-moodlet-after-woohoo-although/m-p/9179775 Let me know if that's it, and I'll move your report to the master thread

@ChrinnieSims - do you think the bug report that I listed is the same as your issue?

It might just be my laptop because I have noticed some object graphical errors with the Karaoke Booths and the Scout Board, I also saw a pair of pants in CAS having that error as well. They were the ones from Get Famous, with the makeup pack attached to it.

Hi @lissrupp

did you test this on a game without any mods installed as well ?

I have, I am going to just try reinstalling The Sims 4 to see if it fixes things.

HI @lissrupp

you don't need to reinstall.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)

Tray Folder

Screenshots/Videos/Custom music

Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)

Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....

Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

I have not been playing The Sims 4 recently because I'm sick and wanted to relive my Sims 3 childhood, so I'll have to see if anything is fixed.

I get this bug sometimes with all the different laundry moodlets. My sims will be asleep, but the laundry moodlet is over powering the sleeping moodlet.

At least it's not a huge bug, hopefully it gets fixed soon

@Evie0602 Could you possibly share a save file where you've seen this issue? We've had trouble reproducing. Thanks so much for the help! 🙂 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302

Actually the bug has stopped happening since the update, I think one of my mods was the cause but since I've updated both the game and the mod I have not seen the bug.
Unrelated, but I and many other simmers have been having bugs with the hamster cages from My First Pet Stuff, mostly with Sims freezing and the game crashing. I have tested this problem without mods and it still occurs, could you please look into it? Thank you.
