My sim kid always wakes up screaming.

Not all the time, but I have seen it happen a few times in my game. I just assumed that something had startled them. It happens to me in real life, minus the screaming, and it scares the daylights out of my hubby when I do.

I've had toddlers who wake from nightmares a lot. I usually put in the monster night light in the room and that helps. If it's a toddler, build up their skills and it helps.

well i have had my toddler have at least 2 known nightmares the first time she was like why am i still awake someone put me to bed. the second time actually it was cute she atonomsly went up to her dads room and woke up her dad for a bed time story.

So I am noticing everytime my sim wakes up usually after her engery bar is full. or nearly full if i wake up her up or she wakes up on her own the first thing she does is scream like she just woke up from a nightmare and i am not sure if this something other people experience but i am curious if this is happening for any other player as well where sims wake up and no mater what their engery is they seem to wake up like they had a night terror or something.

full grown sims or kid sims? kid sims it maybe helps to spray for monster under bed before they sleep so they wont be scared

Here is the link to the EA thread. At the time of this post there are only 6 people who have pushed Me Too on the thread. The more attention it draws the more likley it will be looked into by the devs.

Yes, mine all do that.

Since I've starting back simming the same has also happened.

@Pegasys No there's no fix for it at this time. It would help if you would click me too on the EA thread. I'll link it again. As I said above. The more people who report it, the more likley they are to look into it and maybe fix it.

But kids shouldn't jump up out there sleep every single morning. Doesn't seem normal.

Yeah, didn't say it's normal....I just think that's how they chose to do it, for whatever reason....to give children their own waking from sleep animation. In the end, it has zero impact on the game though as there is no negative moodlet or negative impact to the kid....it's just the animation.

I have only had toddlers do this and it stopped when I put a radio in there room on the lullaby station for kids i use the coolala lamp

This is only for children. The kids aren't waking up with actual nightmares which lead to sad moods and crying like the toddlers. At the child stage, when they wake up from a normal night of sleep after being fully rested, they be appear to be startled and look around before they get out of bed...it almost looks like they woke up out of a scary dream and are relieved it was just a dream. But there's no mood impact or anything for them.

This has been happening to me since the Kids Room SP patch last year. The only good part about it is that if I'm playing a large household, I always know when the kids wake up since I can hear them scream. If I don't hear them scream and they need to leave for school soon, I know that I need to wake them up! But other than that, it's super annoying. I pressed the "Me too" on the thread at AHQ, so hopefully they see it and fix it soon!
