A question about the new kit
Can the new night light keep the monster away from your sim's toddler/children's beds?
Forum Discussion
@PipMenace I haven't raised any toddlers recently (but that's going to change with the baby update!), but last I knew toddlers don't get nightmares - only children. And I never remember a nightlight autonomously changing to another item for me. However, items are sometimes switched out for something the game sees as a 'logical substitute' if you place something that had items you don't own in your game (such as from a pack you don't own). But it doesn't sound like this is applicable in your case. Do you have a Mod that changes toddler or similar dynamics that could be interfering and causing the toddler nightmares?
@SheriGR It's a no-mods save, and since it's swapping one base game item for another I doubt it's caused by somehow forgetting that I own something. For now I'll just accept that as a bugged save unless I see it again in others. It's still playable, just weird.
What does happen consistently in all my saves, however, is my toddlers waking up with nightmares almost every night. Sometimes multiple times each night, even with a night light present. I swear the night light used to prevent them...

@PipMenace Silly me... I was associating what you're talking about with monsters (the 'Coolala, the Defender Wall Light' - and certain other night lights works for that, but only children get the monster scare). I guess I never noticed that they can wake up scared. I just asked a friend about it and she said she usually avoids this by reading the toddler to sleep. (Thanks, @MapleSimmer ) I do have my Sims read them to bed usually, though, so maybe that's why I never noticed this?
Just a thought... Sims will wake up to tv, music, chimes, etc, and sometimes pets will wake them. I doubt that's what you're mentioning, though.
You may want to make sure the toddler's needs are as full as possible when they go to sleep, too.
