Monsters Under the Bed

I want to start by saying that I like this feature. I think it's really cute. However, does my sim child need to wake every single adult and teen in the house for this?! They wake up someone, that sim goes to spray the bed, then they're off to the next room and the next room and it doesn't end until EVERYONE is awake and the bed has been sprayed by every teen and adult available. Can we please just turn that down? Let the child wake up their favourite adult or teen for help. THEN STOP. I often play large families and I seriously just watched the kid wake up 7 adults and teens for this. Waking up one up, like I said, is fair. Waking everyone available up is completely unreasonable. It's not just this one household either so this is clearly a thing now. In the past couple of months I've seen it happen with all the households I've played. The kid will wake up 1 sim or 7 and anything in between. As long as others in the house are teen or older they will wake them up, even as and after the bed is being sprayed. :/

    @BK747 Wow, does that night light really work? The monsters come every single night and it drives me crazy.


    Yes, the night light does keep the monsters away. The only annoying thing I've noticed is that it is treated as a toy, so if you have a maid, they will always take the night light and put it away in the toy box so you have to remember to put it back out again each night.


    Wait that night light?! I thought it was the wall light called "defender" something or other... no wonder it didn't always work... :D

    Well this child is a teen now. Guess I'll have to try that other night when he has kids. (After I let his kid wake him up as payback)

    Just use adult single beds. Been doing this since day one and never had an issue. The monster only comes on beds from the children’s section so make sure it’s not a bed from that, you’ll be fine.

    That's helpful! Thank you! I might do that for my larger households.

    I'd really like to not have to stop it entirely, I do like the interaction, like I said before, it's just ridiculous how the kid had to wake up everyone and their neighbour just for this when they probably could tune it and turn it down so that the child stops after the first wake up. I don't remember it ever being this obnoxious.

    @Camkat used to drive me bananas too. There is a night light with a monster on it and a wall decal, they keep the monster away. Also, reading the kid to sleep helps too. Lastly, no monsters under double beds

    Thanks for the tips! I didn't know about the reading to sleep but I should try to do that more, it's cute and I think it helps with their skills too. :)

    It happens all the time too in my game. When I have more than 2 kids in a family you can expect they'll see a monster almost every night.

    I haven't really had this problem, but I would always try to cancel the interaction and the kid would move on to the next victim. I like the idea of the feature myself, but more often than not I just use the protection night light. Especially so in households that I do not plan to pay much attention to the kids.


    I did this as well until I get tired of constantly cancelling all sort of annoying autonomy .
