BUG: Asking parents to spray monster under bed does nothing.

This issue has been on the PC version for a long time. I wouldn’t expect a fix anytime soon.

Whenever a child wakes up they seem like they have had a nightmare even though they haven’t. Is anyone else having this problem?

Not a bug, you have to control the parent and select that action. It is not an autonomous action. It is the same thing via PC. Also, kids hace been waking up with the "nightmare yell" via PC for a while now, even without having one. I assumed it was same on console.

This is a bug. When the monster was first introduced selecting the ‘ask to spray monster’ interaction resulted in the target sim spraying the bed. You can choose to select ‘spray monster’ from the parent, which still works, but the interaction from Child -> Parent does not.

yeah...some of my parentsims now just randomly spray the monster under the bed without being near a bed (in the kitchen, in the living room...), curiouser and curiouser.

Exactly. PC players have been experiencing it for about half a year by now.

This is driving me mad now, that and the fact every time my child sim or any child sim ive had in my family wakes up and its like they are waking up from a nightmare. Not just when they wake up from the monster under the bed but when they wake up in general.Lol

There also seems to be a bug where an adult can ‘spray the monster under the bed’ without me even having a child in that save game.

Yes, been an issue on pc for at least year now so i dont see it getting fixed on console any time soon.

Kids in my households do wake up their parents to spray monsters under the bed, they will also ask their teen sibling or nanny to help. They have always done this since I got the game. I do not have the console.
Its two solutions to this. One is trade your kids half bed for a full bed. the second solution is to use a child's night light on the wall near their bed.
The one I like best is a wall light and has parenthood logo its called ( starry night, night light ) it comes in blue yellow and pink, also the stars move.
When kids have a night light for kids I think 99.99% :) of the time they sleep through the night.
A friend on this forum told me about the nightlight for kids beds and it works.

When my child has a nightmare they seem to go round the house waking everyone up! They're all related as a family but was really annoying so I had to lock the rooms to stop the kid going into each room.
