nap with baby in bed
Added 2025-08-24 22:46:47 +0000 UTCthis mod allows an adult (teen to elder) to take a nap together with an infant or toddler in the bed.
upd, oct. 8, 2025: interaction should now start right away without extra clicks.
upd, sep. 3, 2025: added a second version where adults gain more energy.
base game compatible
includes xml injectordisclaimer: please note that sleeping in the same bed with infants is not recommended for safety reasons. this mod is just a part of my fantasy about family and children. it is not meant to encourage or promote bed-sharing with infants in real life.
here are two animation styles based on the sim's gender. you can switch between them using my other mod!
you can see a preview of the poses in the video in the title.
features/issues:
the action only works on the left side of the bed.
when using a double bed, the object is not reserved. this means other sims can lie or sit on the side where the action takes place!
the action lasts 90 in-game minutes. baby receives a sleep buff at the start of the action. the buff will last exactly 90 minutes! if you cancel the action early, the buff will remain.
if you decide to wake up earlier, make sure the child is selected and then click on the child to choose the action "remove sleepy buff". alternatively, you can use the ui cheats extension mod, which allows you to remove any buff by simply clicking on it.
outcomes:
increases energy and social motives;
for adults, increases parenting skill slightly;
slightly improves relationships;
adds unique buffs:

i hope that the issues (only left side, unreserved double bed, fixed 90-minute sleep)
aren’t too big of a problem. i want to create mods as perfect gameplay actions, but to realize some ideas i often need weird solutions🤪
please let me know if you run into any issues while using the mod.
i'm always happy to help, and your feedback is incredibly useful for fine-tuning it!
download only one file!
version 1 - adults gain energy like in a usual nap;
version 2 - adults gain more energy.

Do you have to have the animations to use this? Sorry, I'm new to animations and don't understand how to use them.

2025-10-30 16:31:06 +0000 UTChi simkatu! this is an amazing mod/override, as always! have you considered making an option of this mod where the sim will sleep longer? i think this would be wonderful for single mom sims or families that don't have enough space so the infant sleeps in bed through the night with the parent sim.

2025-10-14 16:32:22 +0000 UTCI have not been able to get this mod nor any of the other ones (napping in chair etc). I made sure to install the latest xml injector, cleared my caches. is there any known mods it may clash with?

2025-10-10 21:52:50 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite mod. I had a goofy smile on my face watching both mother or father and baby nap together.

2025-10-09 02:23:29 +0000 UTCi read that bed-sharing increases the risk of suffocation and sids, but it’s better to read more about it from reliable sources

2025-10-08 20:16:17 +0000 UTChi out of curiosity, whats so bad about sharing the bed irl?

2025-10-08 18:47:49 +0000 UTChi! i use gshade (haven’t updated it for quite some time) with the senshi preset 3.0 by simsenshi, and i don’t really get any lag
simkatu
2025-10-04 10:09:43 +0000 UTChi! could you please check if xml injector version 4.2 is installed in your mods folder? and it shouldn’t be placed deeper than one subfolder inside ‘mods’
simkatu
2025-10-04 10:05:45 +0000 UTCHi Simkatu, I‘ve downloaded several of your mods yesterday (including this one) and ran into a problem: I‘m not able to use any of them in gamemode because the action to do so simply does not appear when clicking on the right objects. All of your files are at the top of my mods folder and additionally, when opening the game and getting a list by the game with all of the installed cc and script mods, they do appear under cc. I do have the latest upadate installed and other mods like lumpinou‘s pregnancy mod do work in my game. Do I need to download something else for the mods to work? Or how can I get the mods to work? Maybe it’s the new update? Sincelery, Mary

2025-10-04 09:47:38 +0000 UTCHello, Could you please tell me what shader you use for the sims 4? I've been searching for it for a long time, and does it make your game laggy?

2025-08-31 20:26:24 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if it’s because my sims pregnant but I noticed her energy need goes up way slower than the toddlers. If that is from the mod is there anyway you could add an additional file that adds faster energy gain when using this interaction 🥰
