Go the S*M to sleep!!!!! arrrrghhh

Why can't they can't just sleep, I'm so over it.

A family of 6, and not one night can I get them all in bed and asleep by 12, and then sleep till morning.

Right now the parents are like blimmin yo-yos going up and down their stairs, so i then have to get them to go back upstairs click the bed or their energy bar. Then they stand by their bed for another hour before finally hopping into bed and then another sim pops out. Night time takes soooo long and they all finally sleep only to wake up late, some too early. And then it starts all over again.

I do my best to get them all well fed, fun, social at least in green apart from sleep. Doesn't help

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I feel your pain and anger.
Then again, I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I realized I lived in a simulation.

Maybe buy cheaper bed so their energy dont go up as fast.

The should stay in bed until 6 am as long as you had them go to bed before 12, like in previous games. That way all sims where well rested regardless of their individual need for the night. And if they had a good bed or bad didn't really matter (you just sent the sims with worse beds to bed earlier).
I think though elder woke up whenever in TS3, guess they were supposed to simulate elder with bathroom breaks XD

I think the sims where better at staying in bed in TS4 before as well, but it's not really fun playing a bigger household anymore, when everyone wake up every hour of then night :/

Their energy levels aren't going up and they're in expensive beds, by morning they're all exhausted.

Then it's a bug. I've encountered it before, but I don't recall how to fix it.

Do you send them to bed with any needs low? The only times my sims wake at night is if they really really need to pee, eat or wash.

I can understand the peeing one, but who wakes up because they are hungry or dirty?

Mostly I manage to send them to bed with their needs taken care of, so they sleep beautifully all the way until morning (how I wish that were the case irl lol).
