Thank you so much. I love my sims but these Zzz's were too much.

Ah, no more having to buy a hacked bonzai tree every time I wanted to take decent pictures - that gave me a delayed reaction too which was annoying ¬_¬ Grazie mille :D

Yes, the zzZZ are removed also when they pass out (tested).
I've not tested another case: when the sims fall asleep while eating; but it should work for it, too.

My hack contains a modified version of a global Text List, and therefore it might conflict with other hacks. It's impossible to confirm or deny the chance of conflict with "any other hack".
If you have a specific hack in mind (and if you are experiencing problems), tell me what other hack you'd like me to check for conflicts against my own hack.

Thank you for making this! :D

There's one thing I've noticed though. The "zzZZ's" still appear while a sim is napping in a recliner, at least they do in my game. Just thought I'd give the heads-up in case that wasn't intended to happen.

I'm so glad it's not just me They don't seem to show when falling asleep in their food though, at least I didn't notice it the last time that happened

Indeed. The movie maker plant object was supposed to have an item on it that removes the Z's. But more often than not, it did nothing. Therefore, that plant is really only useful for forcing nightmares.

You can find me on the Sims 4 Gallery as DozerfleetProd. If you have XBox One or PS4, please test out my creations, and let me know if / how well they work on consoles.

For some reason, now the Zzzz's won't go away! I tried waking the sim, butting them in another bed, changing thier cloths, exiting the lot and re-entering with them awake, Exiting the game and starting again. Any ideas? I really don't want the bleepety bleeping Zzzz's in my story!!!

Perhaps my hack (that prevents any operation involving the "zzz") prevents the game from stopping a ZZzzz effect already started.

Delete my hack from the Downloads, start the game, order your sim to sleep and then wake him up; the Zzzz should go away.
When done, you can copy again my hack in the Downloads.

INFO: Tested with Bon Voyage: it work fine.
In some cases the "ZZzz" effect is still visible on some recliners, but this is not a compatibility issue: it's just that I'm too lazy -

Default Thread Update!
07 OCT 2007 - UPDATE:
  • Removed the "zzZZ" from Recliners and Coffins.
  • Tested with Bon Voyage: the "zzZZ" is removed from tents and hammocks, too.


If you notice some other "zzZZ", tell me and I'll chase and destroy them

Yes please, can you get rid of Peter's very loud "zzZZ" for me so I can get a good night's sleep?
