Bedtime Rituals

[dejadejavu]

I think bedtime rituals would be really sweet for kids to have. In real life, kids hold on to rituals and whatnot more than adults do anyway. Depending on the kid's traits, like if they had a worrier/shy/whiny/sensitive trait, they could be more likely to NEED something before they go to sleep. Maybe an overemotional child could need a kiss goodnight, or they wouldn't sleep well. Say their parents died, and then they couldn't get that kiss goodnight - they would have troubled sleep for a while, until they could move past it.

Another feature that I really want is for sims to wake up at night, without having to get out of bed. Say there's a thunderstorm, a scared sim wakes up but just huddles in bed for a while, until he/she can go back to sleep. It would be cool to see all sorts of different animations for that as well, some could bury themselves in covers. Or maybe a sim couldn't get to sleep because of something happy that they just can't stop thinking about - maybe they just had a great date - they could lie in bed thinking about the glorious night with a wistful smile on their face.    {upsidedown}

I think neat sims shouldn't be able to go to bed without brushing their teeth. {cleanteeth}
