Mods to fix these annoying "bugs"?

I bet this is something every simmer gets annoyed with now and then when it comes to the Sims 4, but I would loooove a solution for it!

So, three things that annoys the heck outta me is this:

1. Sims rarely stay seated when eating! Not a newsflash but still. After Dine Out, Cats & Dogs, and the toddler, oh my, the toddlers.. it's gotten worse. I just want them to have a nice dinner.. LOL. Household of seven, everyone is seated for about 15 sim minutes, having a good time. The mother suddenly gets up and puts down her food to hug the cat. Daughter gets up with her plate to sit next to someone else and a second sim gets up after her and then they just stand there. The toddler commands his father to put him down from the high chair and the father immediately gets up to do it. The whole dinner is a mess by now. I cancel the "put down toddler" interaction but it just pops up again and he still does it (this is another annoying issue btw, autonomous actions don't cancel if you don't cancel it twice..) Some of the sims gets up to wash their plate because they're done eating before everyone else. This is so annoying I have to plan the dinner so much in advance it gets on my nerves. Silly, but I hope you can relate..

If there is a mod that will "fix" this, make the sims stay seated longer, at home and at a restaurant (especially if you travel with sim outside the household, like on a date, they just get up and to all kinds of stupid plum), and maybe something to stop the sims from autonomously washing dishes after eating, I would be so happy.

2. Sims wake up in the middle of the night when energy bar is full. 2 am, gonna dance in the living room! When my sim has his girlfriend on a sleepover she also gets up right after going to sleep, even if it's late. To play video games.

Is there a mod out there to make them sleep full nights even if their energy is full?

3. Is there a mod to prolong party events? And one to be able to invite more sims? Mod or cheat, doesn't matter. Parties end so quickly and it's not big enough :(


If you have a suggestion for mods I can download, I would really appreciate it if the mod is good with the latest patch first, either by you or someone who has confirmed it. Thanks so much in advance! <3
  • Littlemssam has a sleep all night mod. Sims won't wake up with full energy unless they get woken up by something.

    Also, this is optional, but here's an alarm clock mod in case you want to make sure your sims get woken up on time.

    Hope these help :)
  • To me it seems as though you're not a fan of Autonomy. You can turn this off under Settings> Game Options> Gameplay: Autonomy
    If it is set to full, your sims will continue to have a mind of their own. You can even have it set to where the sim you have selected will only move on command. If you'd like to, also just have this setting on during their dinners.

    I haven't tried it but here's a longer parties/more guests mod: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=558097

    According to the comments it should work with the most recent patches.

  • I'd honestly love a mod that made them sit down at the table to eat. I know it be impossible but the fact that they'll sit on the couch, a chair or even of their bed to eat annoys the ever loving daylights out of me.
  • @Katiardguez

    It seems like the mod for sitting only applies to weddings, performances and movies, not in general or when they're eating dinner? I haven't used it personally, though. I wonder if you put on a movie during dinner that means they do stay seated?

    @plau

    Mccc mod has a module where you can disable all kinds of autonomous actions. You can click around on objects and Sims to see what actions you can disable.

    I been using this mod and so far and when they are eating at home or at a restaurant they remain on their sit much longer and I haven't seen so much of the musical chairs at all. But I haven't check to see if they remain on their sit while watching a movie yet.

    There is also a mod that was updated by LittleMsSam and the download is on page eight-second post-#177
