My sims never sleep when I set them to care for themselves!

Whenever I'm out of the house and I set my sims to care for themselves, they never sleep and they're always uncomfortable. When I go back home though, they're all rested and fine. However, if I call a sim to my location, they'll be tired and uncomfortable. This is very annoying, especially when I need backup staff at my retail store. I've tried fixing this by making new households and repairing the game via origin but it just doesn't work.

    Nope, never used a mod before.

    Can you start a new game for testing purposes to see if you have the same issue ?

    Sure, I can do that. I'll test as soon as possible.

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    I'll let you know what the results are tomorrow as I'm super busy tonight. I made a discover earlier, it turns out that this problem only affects my households that have moved from one house to another through marriage or asking to move it. Thanks for taking the time to help so far, I appreciate it.
