Re: A question about the new kit

@simsplayer818 It still bothers me that the Stary NIghtlight isn't working in your game ! 🤔 🧐🤷‍♀️😭 But at least I was able to help you somewhat, even if it took a while! If you ever find out what the deal is with your Starry Nightlight, please update us!  And I hope all your little Sims (and their parents!) have a blissful night's sleep! 🥰

Are any of the nightlights supposed to prevent toddler nightmares? Because I could have sworn they used to, but even the base game Defender nightlight doesn't seem to anymore for me. Though there could be something else going on with my save, because I've twice now reopened my game to find the Defender light has turned into the basic non-monster-preventing base game night light, and had to swap it back again. Odd little bug. None of the rest of my build gets dropped and nothing seems to have been lost in game play... just the one object getting switched out occasionally. I've been trying to figure out if there's any way I could be doing it myself accidentally, but even if I had grabbed the wrong one originally how would it come back again after I fixed it?

@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?

@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. 

@PipMenace. Toddler nightmares can be prevented by raising one of the skills. I think it's the Thinking skill. You'll see a notification about sleeping better through the night.
