Sims sharing a bed will no longer remain asleep when tasks are lined-up

Since the September update mine have started waking up immediately (to go do said actions)  if I qeue any actions after they are in bed, no matter what.  No matter if they went to bed autonomous or if i directed them to sleep,  no matter if they are alone or in bed with another sim. No matter if their sleep bar is in the red or green.   I agree,  extremely frustrating. I'm on ps5.

Before the September update they would always stay asleep if I told them to sleep until sleep bar was completely full.  They would only wake up if they autonomously went to bed in ther own,  then and only then would they get up if i qeued an action. 

Sims are not able to sleep and have other tasks queed after they hae become fully rested. This has happened since the "Fix" on september 22 2026. sims are now over tired and basically falling apart. 

Think they will correct this. 

This is happening to myself as well.

The Sim instead should stay asleep until the sleep need is filled and then go to the next queued action after they wake up.

I found this if it helps, it looks like someone swapped a false with a true in a user directed cancel in the bed_sleep superInteraction (13094):

  <T n="cancel_on_user_directed_action">True</T>
  <V n="canonical_animation" t="enabled">
    <U n="enabled">
      <T n="factory">11280<!--AnimationElement: Bed_Sleep_InteractionIdle_Idle--></T>

I think it's supposed to be set False like so:

  <T n="cancel_on_user_directed_action">False</T>
  <V n="canonical_animation" t="enabled">
    <U n="enabled">
      <T n="factory">11280<!--AnimationElement: Bed_Sleep_InteractionIdle_Idle--></T>

To test this I made a small mod for it (You can grab it here until it's patched) with only this change and the problem seems to be resolved now.

I’m experiencing this too. Previously, if I manually directed a Sim to sleep, I could queue up actions like eating or using the bathroom, and they would stay asleep until their energy was full before doing those tasks.

Queued actions used to interrupt sleep only when the Sim had gone to bed autonomously. Now, they immediately wake up to perform the next action even when I explicitly told them to sleep.

Please restore that distinction between player-directed and autonomous sleep. Being able to queue a morning routine without waking the Sim was useful, and this change makes managing a household more frustrating.

I have the same problem. None of my sims keep sleeping if they get a new action in their que. It's very annoying!

Took all cc/mods out, repaired game, and tried existing save and starting a new save.

This is happening to me, too,  including to toddlers in toddler beds.

When a Sim is instructed to go to sleep, they will successfully get into bed and begin the sleeping interaction. However, if the player attempts to build an action queue for that Sim while they are asleep (e.g., scheduling a shower, bathroom trip, or meal for when they wake up), the game engine immediately cancels the current sleep interaction. The Sim instantly snaps out of bed and drops the sleep task to prioritize the next queued item, completely breaking normal sequential scheduling.

FIX: Sims should remain asleep and complete their sleep cycle according to their motive needs, even if subsequent actions are lined up in their interaction queue. Lined-up tasks should wait sequentially until the sleep action finishes or is manually cancelled by the player.

Same its so annoying
