They wake up before 6am
Is there anyway to get rid of this (waking up before 6am) ??

They wake up at 1am, 2am, 3am.... it`s really annoying. I don`t remember TS2 having these issues.

I would rather they oversleep until 6am than waking up before it.

Put them to sleep later.

Can`t, if they have overworked and are pretty sleepy by 9pm.

There are mods and threads over the web about people wanting them to wake up earlier than 6am. But nothing about what I asked, so, that`s why I posted this thread, `cause maybe someone knows about a solution or a mod for this. If they wake up too early, they are already tired when they go to work, and that`s just annoying. Also, when they get back from work, there`s nothing you can do but sleep.

Like I said, I don`t remember Sims in TS2 waking up before 6am automatically (unless they had a real good reason for it, like a burglar, or one of their motives).

I`m pretty sure others want a solution for this as well. Your answer was funny but not helpful. I`m sure this subject is an issue for many simmers.

I have MasterController installed with cheats enabled, so I just drag their energy bars back down so they don't get up too early.

Have you tried dragging the bar beside the queued action?

Hi guys, thanks for your help.
Yes, the queued action, I never tried to mess with the bar, but they wake up before it`s filled anyways.
As for MasterController, I have it too. I could and I probably will have to drag the energy bar down. But I wish there was a ``default`` solution or mod for this, so they would always wake up at 6am unless their job requires them to wake up earlier than that.
Thanks everyone.

You could also give them beds with worse energy for a night, so they get up at six, which will hopefully get them into a new routine, and then replace them with better energy beds instead.

YOu could have them nap on the bed instead of sleep.

If they get sleepy too early, try giving them coffee? It'll keep them awake longer, though their energy bar will stay low. That'll mean they go to bed later and they're more tired when they do, so they should sleep longer in the morning.

Not the energy bar and not the queued action bar as in up or down. When you click on the queued action icon and hold you can drag it to the right and change "sleep until fully rested" to "sleep until 6:00" and the sim shouldn't wake until 6 even if the energy bar is full. It works for me.

If they are automatically waking up before their energy bar is full, there is a problem. If there isn't a "lost" alarm clock in the room, you may need to check the Game Problem FAQ.

Or am I misreading something?

Thanks everyone. All of this is very helpful.

Ghost, no, I was talking about the action bar, the one in the upper left corner of the screen. They wake up when the energy is full (regardless of what time it is), but the action is meaningless sometimes, it seems. Thanks.
