So many nightmares

The night light hasn't helped my toddlers. I hope a mod comes out soon. 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.

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

Nope, she has the fussy trait.. maybe you are right though, certain traits may be more prone to nightmares!

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!!

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...

That's awesome! Mine is all level 2 & 3 and I havent seen that pop up yet, but that is really cool!!

Also, i am not sure if this is related or not, but I find that my toddler so far has only had nightmares on nights when I dont read her a bedtime story, but whenever I do she sleeps through the night. Could be a coincidence though.

Thanks guys!

It's so sad to know that my toddler Sim is having nightmares, maybe I'll get the parent to read her a story and see if this helps her :(

And why is there no "Comfort Toddler" interaction? Isn't that what most of us do when kiddos have nightmares?

My toddlers have had nightmares here and there, but I noticed while watching The Sim Supply's "7 Toddler Challenge" on YouTube that, after taking suggestions that the nightlights, monster-on-the-door-and-the-wall, and lullabies, that it seemed to make the nightmares worse. I don't have experience with this personally, however, just the few occasional ones from the two toddlers I've had.

Yeah the nightlight is strictly for the monster under the bed, doesn't do anything for the nightmares. It's leveling up the thinking skill that makes them go away.

my first toddler had alot of nightmares, and I started reading for him and that sort of worked sometimes, he had the clingy trait.

my second toddler didn't have any nightmares I think, maybe one, but I mostly read for him.

my third one haven't had any yet.

but as people keep saying, the thinking skill will prevent nightmares if you lvl it up.

My angelic toddler with maxed skills used to get nightmares vert often

Don't the toddler doors prevent nightmares?

I haven't done this enough, but will definitely try it more often to see if it helps.

I have my toddlers listen to the lullaby station before bed, then they don't have nightmares.

@CookinCookie
Lullaby station? Do you put the radio in their bedroom, or have them listen in the living room before going to bed?

There are toddler doors?
