Sleep in by Age and Personality
Screenshot 2025-12-24 133931.png - width=1715 height=815
The juicy details:
By default sims will sleep in until 7am. Sims with 7 or more active points will only sleep in until 6am. Sims with 3 or less active points will sleep in until 8am. If the sim is an elder they will only sleep until 5am. If the sim is a teen they will sleep in until 10am.
Note: Age takes precedence over personality (eg. An elder with 0 active points will still wake up at 5am) and babies/toddlers remain unaffected by the mod as they are coded elsewhere.
Mod versions:
Only pick one.
If you want all the changes I mentioned above download SleepInByAgePersonality.
If you only want personality to affect sleep in times download SleepInByPersonalityOnly.
If you want all the changes except for teens download SleepInByPersonalityPlusElders.
If you want all the changes except for elders download SleepInByPersonalityPlusTeens.
Customization:
If you wish to tweak the times for any of the variables all you need to do is change the value (hour) for the corresponding variable in the BCON. Because the BCON is a bit long and confusing I've listed which lines are for which below.
| Label | Line | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Latest Sleeping Hour - Elder | 0x24 | 5 |
| Latest Sleeping Hour - Active | 0x25 | 6 |
| Latest Sleeping Hour - Default | 0x26 | 7 |
| Latest Sleeping Hour - Lazy | 0x1 | 8 |
| Latest Sleeping Hour - Teen | 0x27 | 10 |

Any mod that edits the following resources:
| Name | Type | Group | Instance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleep - Tweak - Finished? | BHAV | 0x7F4437F2 | 0x00002022 |
| SG - Tuning - General | BCON | 0x7F4437F2 | 0x00002000 |
| Behaviour Constant Labels | TRCN | 0x7F4437F2 | 0x00002000 |
Known Issues:
It's less of an issue and more of a feature. In an unmodded game when two sims share a bed, if one sim has maxed their energy but the other hasn't, the sim with maxed energy will sometimes lay in bed awake and cuddle the sleeping sim until they wake up. Therefore with this mod co-sleepers will over/under sleep if they have different wake up times (during testing my active sim stayed in bed and cuddled her husband until 6:45am, he woke up 15 minutes earlier than expected).
