I have only had this bug since GT came out. I orignially played with mods and I removed them to test if it was a mod but the child sims still keep waking up. It's happened twice to my kid sim- Once in their own house in their own bed and now during a slumber party in the rec centre. The other kids at the party are also not sleeping however the adult sim present has no issue.

    Are they child or toddlers? and when they were toddler did they have the quirk that have them wake up after they fall asleep, there is a quick that does that, I wonder if it could transfer to child if growing up with the quirck...

    Thanks for the questions so far:

    crinrict: I have sent you the file via DM

    Heddelviven: There is a stereo on in the Rec centre as I can't turn it off but the Mum is in the same room and is asleep but when it happened in his room there was no music.

    Francoisf30: He's a child. I don't believe he had that trait.  However at the slumber party all the kids are doing it so not sure it's just limited to my sim.

    @HannahBerry10 I tested your save and as others have pointed out, I believe in the rec center it's the stereos. There's quite a few and since the rec center is pretty open, all of them affect the kids. I would just delete them if you want use the lot for a sleep over.

    In his own room the kid was sleeping during the night for me. How often did you have it happen there ?

    is there a tv or radio in the room? I've found with the new smaller radios, I sometimes forget they're there

    It happened the 1st time in his bedroom. It's only happened the once though and there was no music playing.

    @HannahBerry10 Could be anything that woke him up then.

    Could you try removing all the speakers from the lot and see if the sleep over then goes well for you ?

    @crinrict Thanks, it did work removing the speakers. I think I'm just going to have to hope it was a random glitch in his room as he kept waking up, continuously one night and hadn't seemed to do it again.
