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.

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.

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.

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.http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/OPEN-Stuck-wake-up-in-terror-Animation/m-p/6072035/highlight/true#M38113

My sim kid always wakes up screaming.

Yup, I think it's a reported bug.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. It's really weird. So far it's just the children in my game.

cool thanks! i hope they fix it soon granted they also have some pretty big major bugs they need to fix right now. like the music sounds still going on after a radio is turned off.

It happens in my game too. And the poster above is right, it is a reported bug. I don't have a link atm but it would help if you would push the Me Too button in the EA thread. There's not that high of a count on that thread.

Kids wake up appearing to be startled....not really screaming at all. It's just an animation bug. If your kids have a full energy bar then they are fine.

Mine all do that, too. I assumed it was supposed to be that way!

All kids in my game do that too.

The one playable kid in my game does that too. I get that it's just an animation thing since there's no actual moodlets or anything that go with it, but I still dislike it a lot - the poor child must be exhausted, waking up like that every single time. :<
