I was woken by a storm this night and it made me remember another issue with TS4: sleep.
First, in TS3, you could "drag out" the interaction and the sim would stay in bed until 6:00 or until 2hr before his carpool would arrive (whichever is sooner) - something I really miss in TS4. Does TS4 even have an alarm clock?
Second, in TS3, sims could not just sleep through everything. Unless they had the heavy sleeper trait, a radio, TV, or a crying baby in the same room would wake them. Maybe a storm as well, not sure there. And there was the light sleeper trait as well, I believe, which made pretty much any noise potential wake-up for the sim.
I really miss that dragging of the interaction to make a Sim stay in bed until a specific time. I can't recall seeing an alarm clock, but I'm more surprised they didn't add an alarm function for phones seeing as every Sim is constantly using them.
Light Sleeper made your Sim into an active burglar alarm. If one showed up on your lot and they were asleep they would immediately wake up. Another little thing about Heavy Sleeper was that your Sim wouldn't move in their sleep, they'd stay still on their backs as if they were in a coma or something.
In TS2 you couldn't send a Sim to sleep if they had an energy bar that was a little over 3/4 full because they weren't tired. You'd have to wait for it to drop a little more first (unless they were lazy). So if your Sim got woken up in the morning by any means and their energy wasn't quite full they'd be in for a more groggy start to the day.
