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.

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.

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

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.

And is it really necessary for there to be a nightmare/monster under the bed with every single toddler/child every single plumming night? Even with the night lights it happens more often than it should. Not every child is afraid of the dark. Maybe if we got the brave trait back or they fixed those worthless character traits to actually have some immediate impact on the kids (e.g. high emotional control would keep that monster away).

Also, why do children always give a yelp of terror when they wake up?

EtA-Oops, I didn't realize I was in the console forum, (that's while I get for posting before I'm fully caffeinated in the morning!). I play on PC.

It's very annoying.
When it happend the first time, I found it kinda cute and a nice detail, but now it happens almost every night...that just takes the fun out, plus I don't get why the child has to wake up every adult sim in the house, it's stupid.

Also I DO switch to one parent and let them spray the monster, but often the child doesn't follow the parent back into the bedroom and therefore does not see the monster being sprayed...so I have to first manually make the parent and the child go into the bedroom (and hope they stay there, the child sometimes wanders of to eat/watch tv and other stuff very quickly after waking up the parents), then spray the monster and than put everybody back to sleep......all of that is just annoying especially if you have to do it almost every night...

the nightlights don't seem to make it much better and I really don't want a child to sleep in a big bed...
I have notices though, there is one child bed that says something along the lines of "no monsters under this bed" in the description, I only resently saw that and gave it to one child, for now there were no monsters, so I hope it really works.
But I don't want to give every child the same bed, especially since it's not a good one.
