Monster under bed despite night lamp

When using any of the night lights for the kids they are still getting monsters under the bed. 

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue

  • What nightlight are you using?

    I know for sure that these are working:

    • the Coolala, The Defender Wall Light [parenthood]
    • Starry-Night Night Light [parenthood]
    • Regular ol' Night Light [parenthood]
    • Night Night Moon Moon Lamp [werewolves]
    • Sweet Dreams Moon Lamp [growing together]

    Not sure about:

    • Night Owl Toy Night Light [parenthood]

    (Because my sim kids have been waking up from monster under the bed with these, although less frequently it seems)

    Normally all the nightlights work for me (the ones that come with Werewolves, Parenthood, Growing Together etc). I do use some small script mods but I've tested and the issue isn't related to those. It's not too much of an issue for me because I've fully upgraded beds and their caregiver has the 'seldom sleepy' trait, but it seems strange.

    Not sure if this is in relation but monsters under the bed are happening very excessively. I don't own the pack that has the night lights and every single night since the last update there's a monster under the bed, all her kids are always tired and can't sleep through the night their mum is suffering too as they wake her up evernight asking her to spray it. I have four child sims and sometimes the monster comes two or three times a night on different beds so all the kids are always terrified of the monster, screaming incoherently at each other and have the looming dread moodlet and everyday I'm having to solve their fear of the dark. Even when I proactively get their mum to spray the monster under the bed before all the kids go to sleep the monster still comes, the other night it was under two different beds at the same time. On the positive though it's a great way to rack up aspiration points for them 😉

    PS4 no mods, CC or in game cheats also  I use normal single beds for the kids and not beds from the kids furniture category.

    Same problem, even with the defender night light. Got the mental skill high and it stopped, but the light did nothing.
