    SLEEP LATER PATCH

This patch allows Sims to sleep in longer in the mornings.  As long as they don't have any other needs bothering them, they will stay in bed until 7am-10am depending how lazy they are.  They will wake to an alarm clock or the player's command, of course.

This is compatible with my reservable beds but cannot be used with Elders Sleep through night patch

      BedSleepLateOFB.zip   (contains replacement globals) Remove old patch first.
       
       
       
    ELDERS SLEEP THROUGH NIGHT PATCH

Elders stay asleep until 6am just like other adults.  You have to choose between this and the Sleep Later patch, you cannot have them both installed at the same time.

This is compatible with my reservable beds but cannot be used with Sleep Later patch

    CHILDREN

There are objects and patches relating to child, toddler and baby sleep on the Childcare page

    ALARM CLOCK

ijAlarmClock.zip   (no globals)

More flexibility than your average alarm clock.  This one can have the time set freely, to the nearest hour; and also which days it should operate on.  It can be set to wake a named Sim, regardless of whether the alarm is in the same room.  Or it can wake everyone in the room, or everyone on the lot.

There is an on/off switch so you can have it not operating for several days without having to redo your settings

     
     
       
SINGLE DIVAN - New mesh (not hacked)

Like the cheap British beds we give lodgers.  Can't remember the exact poly count but it's pretty low compared with a typical Maxis bed.

ijSingleDivan.zip (no globals)

May be used in any game but will not recognise interactions from later EPs (eg pets sleeping)

 

     
     
     
RESERVABLE BEDS

These beds have a menu for selecting which Sim to reserve it for, and for unassigning it when you want to, as well.  The Sim must be on the lot at the time of reservation, but will retain ownership when they leave the lot.  The reservation counts for sleeping and relaxing, but I have left it that any Sim can jump on the bed or make it.

Each side of a double bed has a separate owner but occasionally they may sleep on each others' sides).  A Sim other than one of the named owners may still be invited to "join" in a relax.

    BED RESERVING PATCH

simlogicalReserveBeds_patch2.zip   (contains replacement globals)

This patch allows any bed in your game to be reserved for a particular Sim.  A bed is reserved for a Sim when the player instructs him to sleep in it.  Beds are not reserved by Sims choosing to sleep autonomously.   Once a bed is reserved, you can either allocate it to a different owner by telling the new owner to sleep in it, or you can unassign the bed totally by leaving it outdoors in an area not enclosed by a fence, for about 4 Sim hours.   These new options will not appear on the bed's menu at any time.

On occasion, the Sim who owns one side of a double bed might get into their partner's side by mistake if they are very tired or if their side is blocked.  I have made it so if that happens, their co-sharer may sleep in the empty side that is left.   However, do not send him to sleep in the wrong side or he will end up owning both sides of the bed.

After installing this patch, beds that were already in play may be "pre-assigned" to some spurious value, which means you will have to assign them to their owner or unassign them as above before they can be used.   After deleting the patch, all beds should simply revert to normal behaviour.

This patch may be used at the same time as any simlogical reservable bed, and the No Kids in Double Beds patch.

       
       
       
    NO NAPPING PATCH

NoNapping.zip  (contains replacement globals)

Should stop *all* napping - on sofas, chairs, and recliners.

I am not updating this for future EPs because TwoJeff's no autonomous napping patch is more useful.
