Auriël's Smart Needs Before Bed

Stop your Sims from going to bed hungry or dirty!

This mod automatically helps Sims satisfy their hunger and hygiene needs before going to sleep. Instead of going straight to bed when exhausted, Sims will eat first, take a shower or bath, and then go to sleep.

Features

Smart Bedtime Routine: Sims automatically prioritize hunger, hygiene, and sleep in the correct order.

Hunger First: Sims eat before preparing for bed, preferring leftovers when available.

Automatic Hygiene: Sims take a shower or bath after satisfying their hunger.

Better Sleep Preparation: Reduces unnecessary nighttime interruptions caused by low hunger or hygiene.

Exhaustion Protection: Extremely exhausted Sims can skip the routine to avoid passing out.

Household-Wide Automation: Works independently for eligible Sims in your active household.

Manual Control: Player-queued interactions always take priority.

Automatic Monitoring: Checks household needs approximately every 2 Sim-minutes while at home.

No Additional Dependencies: Works independently without requiring other mods.

Example

Your Sim has the following needs:

Hunger: Low (Yellow)

Hygiene: Very Low (Orange)

Energy: Very Low (Orange)

Instead of immediately going to bed, your Sim will:

Step 1: Eat something to satisfy hunger.

Step 2: Take a shower or bath to improve hygiene.

Step 3: Go to bed once both needs have been sufficiently satisfied.

Sims no longer need to choose between sleeping and taking care of their basic needs.

How It Works

The routine activates automatically when a Sim's energy drops to approximately 43% or lower.

Hunger and hygiene are considered sufficiently satisfied once they reach approximately 82%.

If energy drops to critically low levels, sleep takes priority to prevent exhaustion.

The mod does not artificially increase needs, change their decay rates, or force a fixed bedtime.

All needs are fulfilled through normal in-game interactions.

The routine operates at the active household's home lot and excludes infants, toddlers, and pets.

If an appropriate interaction is unavailable or repeatedly fails, the mod can move to the next step rather than trapping the Sim in an endless routine.
