@luthienrising I did some pretty extensive testing on the toddler nightmares based on a similar discussion in an older thread found here http://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/919184/how-to-prevent-nightmares/p1
The results were:
-- None of the nightlights prevent toddler nightmares. The toddler usually gets a happy moodlet from the Parenthood nightlights when they wake up but they do not prevent nightmares.
-- Increasing the thinking skill definitely decreases the frequency of nightmares....however it is still possible to get a nightmare at level 5 Thinking, although it's pretty rare.
-- The lullaby radio station will prevent nightmares if you have the toddler listen to it until they get the moodlet from it. Simply playing the lullaby radio station in the background will not prevent nightmares unless they actively listen to it and get the moodlet.
-- Reading a toddler to sleep will prevent a nightmare.
When I tested these things, I eliminated all other variables to be able to test whether using each of these particular things, itself, would prevent nightmares.

Fantastic!
Thanks for testing this; now I dont have to do it myself.
I was thinking it may be a combination of light and radio to prevent nightmares. A quick google brought me here.
Well I suppose I should thank EA too; for keeping a 7 year old info post on the forum.
