My poor toddler is having like 3 nightmares every night. Is the night-light meant to stop these from happening, or is the night-light only for the monsters under kids' beds?Is there anyway to at least decrease the amount of nightmares or no?

HelloDoes your toddler have the charmer trait? Another simmer found that the toddler that had this trait was having nightmares.

Mine will go multiple nights with no nightmares, but then on nights where they do happen it always seems to happen twice. This toddler has the clingy trait so I don't know if it's trait related.I think leveling up the thinking skill stops this. When mine got to level 3 I think the pop up said the toddler would be able to sleep better through the night. It's odd that it happens multiple times in one night though...

Not to get rid of the nightmares all together (I like that they get woken up with a nightmare and go wake up parents and siblings) but the sheer number of nightmares my toddlers are having is a wee bit too much. Ideally, instead of a mod, I'd like them to tweak it a bit but I'll be happy with a mod. Yeah hopefully they tweak it a little at least! Nightmares are reistic but maybe not so much.. maybe they could be more common if the child is in a negative mood at bedtime or something and it could also depend on traits! And the night light could decrease the chance that it could happen? Idk! It would be nice!!Yeah, it really would. :) One of my toddlers woke up three times last night over nightmares. Needless to say, it's afternoon and she's still asleep. I'm big on schedules (IRL and in my sims game) and these constant nightmares are killing my scheduling.

I have noticed that when I read the toddlers to sleep they don't have nightmares, but when I don't, they always.

worse thing is when they are trying to wake up parents or their older brothers and sister who need to get up early and go to school or work, especially hard when you teens working.

I had a lot of nightmares as a toddler too. My parents told me one day that I once woke them up in the middle of the night because I thought my care bear was attacking me.

But anyways. Like previously said, a higher thinking skill will reduce nightmares. And I have noticed that reading them to bed prevents them too.

Thats interesting and may be why my toddlers never seem to have them. I always read them to sleep and often work on the thinking skill first.

I just played a toddler with the charmer trait and he was having a ridiculous amount of nightmares at first (I mean 4 to 5 throughout the night). As soon he leveled up his thinking skill the nightmares all but went away :)

UH-OH... Just got my first Toddler since the patch and I ended up picking the Charmer trait in the end... Rats!! This/ that is some rotten luck...

What stops the nightmares is to increase your toddler's thinking ability by making them check out things and ask 'what's this?' this will raise their mental prowess and end the nightmares. Note: Not all objects in a house will have the what's this interaction.

I haven't played toddlers a great deal but if I recall correctly:

If a toddler had a nightmare I'd send them straight back to bed and select the 'nap' option. They didn't seem to get nightmares from napping.

So long story short, read to them at night, level up thinking skill, and have them listen to lullabies?

I think it might help if you read you toddler to sleep
