The Sims Resource - Better Sleep Autonomy

Created for: The Sims 4

This Creation belongs to a Set - Click here to show the whole Set

Expansion module for Better Sleep Autonomy. This mod changes when Sims autonomously get out of bed. Without mods, Sims will wake up 2 hours after their energy is full or an hour or two before work or school, whichever occurs earlier. With this mod, they'll instead sleep at least 7 hours* from the time they go to bed. (*Unless work or school comes sooner.)

Their wake up time is influenced by their job or school. Average Sims will always wake up at least one hour before they need to go to work or school. If their energy is filled, they'll wake up two hours before work or school. Unemployed Sims will wake up at 8AM. Lazy Sims will sleep an additional 4 hours after their energy motive is full.

This behaviour is further expanded upon if used in combination with the Morning & Night module. Morning Sims will wake up around 5AM and Night Owls will wake up no earlier than 12PM*. (*Unless forced to wake up for work or school.)

If used with the Life Skills module, a Sim's responsibility will affect their wake up time in relation to when they need to be at work or school. Unemployed Sims are free to sleep as long as their sleep cycle dictates.

Only changes the wake up behaviour of non-vampire Sims who are children or older.

Known Issues / Limitations : I'd intended for Lazy Sims (and Irresponsible Sims, if used with the Life Skills module) to sleep in and risk missing work or school, but sleep is always cleared from a Sim's action queue for the "go to work/school" interaction. The only exception to this in my testing is if a Sim's energy motive is sufficiently low, the call to work or school will remain higher in the queue without forcing out "sleep".
This appears to be hard-coded in the career super interaction and would likely require delving into the Python code to alter the behaviour. So, unfortunately, unless their energy is extremely low, Sims will always wake up to go to work or school.

Compatibility: Uses XML interaction tuning "bed_sleep" and will be incompatible with any other mod which also uses this resource.
Tested with game version 1.80.69.
