Frequent computer use

I’m not sure if this is a bug or not but I have a child sim and instead of going to bed and doing the things she needs to do, she plays games on the computer for hours on end. Then when it’s time to go to school for example, she’s very tired because she hardly slept

    The monster under the bed are easily solved by placing a nightlight in the room. I'm fond of the starry nightlight.

    If you use autoresolve then they tend to just nap so specifically tell them to sleep. In a double bed they tend to sleep with autoresolve.

    @jpkarlsen She doesn’t get up immediately. She’ll sleep for maybe a couple hours then get up and go for the computer. Every time she does, I don’t think she’s looking at any decorations

    @jpkarlsen When I click on sleep it takes a few seconds for it to get into the queue, then she goes to sleep. She sleeps for a few hours of sim time then gets up and immediately goes for the computer to play games which makes her late for school or very tired for school

    @GridironGuy88 Make sure your child sim isn't actually just napping instead of sleeping. My child sims have a terrible habit of napping at bedtime instead of sleeping, so then they are up and energized in the middle of the night doing random things because they have had a nap.

    Also, check the bed. I don't use the high number beds for any of my sims because they don't ever actually sleep for very long.

    @PoptartJuniper Yea they do tend to nap a lot then when I catch them napping I have to click on sleep.

    The bed reminds me. Basically every night they think a monster is under the bed and I have to go in with another sim to spray the bed, try to console, everything like that. But even when they don’t wake up in the middle of the night because of the “monster” they still get up anyway and do other things

    I’ve even gone so far as to put my computer in inventory but they still get up to watch tv and other random things

    @jpkarlsen Sometimes that order to go to sleep just erases from the queue then they think they have nothing to do so they go on to something else

    You want the Coolalala Defender night light for the monster under the bed.  It's the best.
