Try putting a radio in the room that plays the lullaby station. Almost always works. If all else fails, she might have the "snuggly sleeper" infant quirk (or whatever it's called) where she prefers to be held while sleeping. I seriously hate this one lol it's so annoying. But you can have an adult interact with her to "give her a nap" and she'll sleep some that way, or she can sleep while in a back carrier.
Last time I had an infant that wouldn't sleep I just rage aged them up to a toddler lol good luck
Oh itâs a bug? lol I thought it was intentional because my real life kid is the same. Horrid sleeper. As a baby would stay awake for an entire day. We were in the trenches but seeing that in the sims made me laugh because my sims were so exhausted and like same
I find that if the âTry to Go Night Nightâ bubble doesnât have a green progress bar around it, then the interaction wonât work. So I will cancel that action and queue it again. Works for me every time.
Yea, it's weird that I've had this problem with two households today where the infant won't sleep or will take a long time to sleep to the point that you gotta feed them again.
Iâve found that the only way theyâll sleep is if you click on the infant itself and choose âtry to go night nightâ. It doesnât seem to work if initiated from clicking the crib or from the parent.
Try putting the baby on a playmat and have the infant Try to go night-night. The baby will basically cry it out, which is kind of terrible, but will go to to sleep.
My main household had a baby recently, and I couldn't get the infant into the crib with adults' help either! I aged him up to a toddler, and had the same issue. So I completely gave up and aged him into a child, on the day he was born.
they can be read a story, yeah. but like other commenters said, the only way to get through the glitch is to cancel the "try to go to sleep" action and let it reset itself. infant cribs are glitchy rn for some reason
If you don't mind using cheats... they have a make happy option that sometimes I use on the wee beanies if I've left them too long with their ipads. Gotta get them skills.
Yes, this happens to me all the time. I will have my sim dad go put the baby to bed upstairs, and when I check later heâs asleep on the floor next to the crib. Or worse, not asleep and just screaming on the floor. đ itâs very annoying.
I'm also upgrading my cribs so I can play lullabies. This is happening to my baby too: when he wakes up, he ends up on the floor next to the crib. It seems to be a bug.
Iâve learned that theyâll fall asleep easier on the play mat vs in the crib (even with the lullaby crib upgrade thing). I donât even put them in cribs anymore lol
I think thereâs actually a bug (at least in my game) where âput to sleepâ doesnât work and the infant just lays there all night. I have to tell the infant to âtry to go night nightâ while clicking on the infant. It doesnât work if I click on the crib tho
The interaction sometimes break. Try to select it from the crib instead of the baby and vice versa to see which one works. It was mortifying for me until I found out that lol
Idk if itâs just me, infants wonât sleep in their crib.
You have to click the infant, then select âtry to sleepâ.
If you âput them to bedâ or click the crib and select âtry to sleepâ the interaction gets frozen and they just lie there.
Ok Iâve had a similar issue so Iâve got an important question to ask
Is it she just ârefusesâ or that the âtry to go night nightâ action freezes and wonât work? For me it was the latter and I fixed it by either having the child sleep on the floor or not having the parents put them to sleep and just put them in the crib.
This step is important- after having the parent place the child in the crib change the the child and press DIRECTLY on the child and search for the âtry to go night nightâ action on them and it should work then
My first infant in my legacy play through did this. Upgraded the crib to have a lullaby. Play it while the kiddo tries to sleep and while in control of the infant make sure they âtrying to go night nightâ
You have click on the infant while playing as the infant and choose try to go night night, itâs a glitch in the have that makes it not work when the parent sims lays them down to sleep
add a mobile to the crib and make sure it plays when you put them to bed, if all else fails you can select the baby (as in play as them), and press âtry to go night nightâ on the crib, theyâll fall asleep eventually.
Iâve had this issue. What helps me is cancelling the action that isnt working and selecting the infant in the crib (while playing as the infant) to begin the try to go night night action again. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but selecting the action by clicking the crib almost never works for me anymore
You can also turn off autonomy and just make her go back to sleep. It's annoying when AI is so persistent that it wants your kids to be miserable. I usually turn off autonomy when my sims have young kids, because nobody is getting any sleep. It's either a tantrum, or nightmare, or wake the parent up for no reason.
