Alarm clock concept

A classic object from the early Sims game, along with the home phone and the burglar alarm, can be useful if Sims needs to be in bed in certain time.

The gameplay can be: placing an alarm clock in a lot, usually in a end table, players can program the bed time for every member of the household. No matter if another needs is in red, Sims will going to the assigned bed to sleep between the hours specified by the player.

This can be useful to allow to players to control the Sim activity during the usual bed time and avoid for example, Sims going to work with zero energy.

    From what you describe it sounds like a go to bed alarm clock. I liked in TS2 that the alarm would go off two hours before the sim was due to start work. In TS4 they just sleep for however long they want to.
  • I loved the alarm clock and used it all the time, in case I got distracted and wasn't paying any attention to the time. This would be awesome for those playing in a not modern world where there are no cell phones.

    Would love to have the landlines back as well!
  • I love the idea of an alarm clock. I never could understand why they never at least implemented one in the cell phone. Or gave us one. I use the curfew board that comes with PHSP but it works mostly for giving kids bedtimes. I'd like something for adults, too.
    I'd also like to be able to set the time on the alarm clock like the curfew board but have 24hr options.
