Toddler Kicked out for Sleeping

I suppose my question is why the other Sims are welcome?

I haven't really messed around with trying to put toddlers to bed on other lots, but if it is considered inappropriate for Sims I do not know why bringing a toddler would exempt them. So it is more confusing for me that this hasn't happened to you before.

@Calico45 The mother and daughter have the Always Welcome reward trait. So they can cook and sleep in other sims' homes without being kicked out. I have never had an issue with a toddler before.

Okay. It makes sense to me, though. No reward trait, no sleeping on other lots. *shrug* I don't really know of a way to turn the system off without mods, but I doubt it is so complex as to check to see if a household member has the trait and grant the effects to all. Even for parent and child. (I would consider that more weird, really.)

I mean, I guess if the idea is that this is supposed to be somewhat comparable to real life, it would be super weird if most grown people came over to your house and crashed in your bed (aside from family and close friends), but when I've had friends with babies/toddlers come over to visit, or when we used to, it's super normal to be like, let me just drop this kid down for a nap on your bed/couch/pack and play/floor. The littles will just crash anywhere, if they're ready. :D

@Amapola76 - yeah, babies are always allowed to nap or sleep when visiting IRL.

In this save the family is Always Welcome but toddler's cannot have additional traits. The story line was that they were visiting their friends and staying the night and then traveling together for holiday

@troshalom You could try aging the toddler up, give them the "Always Welcome" trait, then age them back down to toddler.
I haven't tested this since I've never seen a toddler kicked out, but I suspect it would work.

thanks for the tip @Admiral8Q . I just invited the whole family sans the nasty teen who kicked the toddler out to Sulani to chill at the beach for Summer Holiday, so I feel like justice has been served.

That sounds annoying!
Another solution would be to combine the households (in Household Manager) for the duration of the visit.
That works well for sleepovers, longer family visits, etc.

I've had that happen before. It's kinda sad that sims won't let toddlers sleep at their houses.

You CAN add the Always Welcome trait to toddlers, but you have to use a cheat to do it.

With the toddler selected as the active sim, open the cheat console (Ctrl+Shift+C), activate testing cheats by typing testingcheats on, and enter traits.equip_trait AlwaysWelcome.

If that doesn't work, try traits.equip_trait trait_AlwaysWelcome

If you have the UI Cheats mod, you might be able to do this through the UI by shift clicking the sim and choosing "Cheat Sim Info" and then "Add Trait" from the pie menu. I was able to add Always Welcome to my toddlers through the UI, but I'm not sure if it was the UI Cheats mod or one of the trait mods I use that allowed me to do it. (Too many mods. The struggle is real.) :p

Either way, using the cheat codes I included above should work.

I've added the Always Welcome trait to all my toddlers (and all members of my active family) in the game, because my active family often goes to grandma's house (where they grew up) to visit and will stay in the guest rooms for a few days, especially around Winterfest, Harvestfest, etc.

Always Welcome prevents any issues from arising when they sleep over, cook a meal, etc. during overnight or extended stays. Works like a charm. :)

EDIT: The best solution, if you're not opposed to using mods, would be Bienchen's "morewelcome" mod. It completely solves this issue and works beautifully. It specifically "protects" toddler behavior (including sleeping) so that it is never seen as inappropriate. Highly recommend it!

Either the cheats referenced above or Bienchen's mod will solve the problem. I used the cheats before I found Bienchen's mod, but I recommend the mod as the best solution because it makes the whole process easier and applies to all toddlers in the game. With the "morewelcome" mod installed, no one will ever fuss at a toddler for sleeping again, because who does that, right?!?!

Happy Simming! :)
