Nice work!

Great idea! Thanks, Squinge! :D

omg thank you SO much, you always create mods that I never knew I wanted until I see them ;p this will help tons, yay

This works on ALL noise, phones, computers, doorbells, everything?  I could actually put phones in bedrooms with this!

thank you ...Nice work!!!

Thanks once again this one is another great one, the phone use to wake up the toddlers if they were sleeping where there were one close by so this will be helpful for sure. again your just the greatest when it comes to hacks that are sooo needed. twinky

This is great now you can have the TV on in the bedroom while another sims sleep.  Thanks.

Awesome! Now I don't have to worry about my music being interrupted when one of the sims in the bedroom decides to go to sleep...

Thank you! Again!!

This is fabulous!  I tried it and it works perfectly.

Thank you so much! I was so sick of having to take the TVs out of my Sims' rooms because someone would always watch it while another person tried to sleep. Thank you!

This is awesome.....a hack anyone could have used from the first day of playing sims....and all probably wanted....Thanks! :cheers:

This is great now those napping toddlers can sleep threw anything, Thanks.

Thankyou

Tried it tonight, this works great many thanks Squinge.

Tried it but has one small problem the alarm clock doesn't wake them up for work.

I've wanted this for so long! Thank you!

You might want to try Inge's alarm clock.  It doesn't actually ring, it just automatically wakes the Sims up without a sound.  It's also reserveable and has a lot more features than the ordinary Maxis alarm clock.

Thats because this is a global override so nothing wakes sims up, I never even thougth about the alarm clock I will post a warning in the description about that.

Many Thanks jphill11 for the info and link, I will give it a try then i can use this wonderful hack again.

haha so the alarm clock wont wake the sim...but either way..most people when they hear their alarm clocks ring, they would wish they wouldnt hear it...i know i would..hehe thanks for this squinge...wow you make sims more realistic..boy why arent you in the creating team?

This makes a lot of sense. Even I sleep on the couch with the tv on! (Don't most people ;))

Thanks so very much! Now I can have TVs and telephones in my bedrooms. lol

There's only one special situation that disturbs me and it is when a toddler wakes up if a baby is just placed on the ground in the same room. I would agree if the baby was crying but not just by being placed there. We never know where Sims are going to drop a baby.
Some situations are even funny - they wake up if someone turn the computer on but sleep with a karaoke machine at full power in the same room.

Going to test your mod but sure I'll play around with it first.
Don't worry, not stealing from you, but just that my game is far too modded to install whatever mod virginally. :)

This mod works great for me with everything except the doorbell, which still seems to wake them up.

Are you also using my auto greet visitors mod? that may be making them wake up when someone rings the door bell.

I don't have that mod, or any other that I can think of that would override this, but if I'm the only one with the problem (and it's only really a problem when I forget that I can't greet the delivery people until they ring the doorbell :P) then I guess it has to be something like that.

Hi Squinge!
Is it possible to make a more limited version that doesn't wake up anyone if the noise is in the same room? I still have in mind my baby problem. I always have a toddler and a baby in the same room and one wakes the other up.

FYI...I also have issues with the doorbell continuing to wake people with this hack.  I'm not a big hack user, so the only others I have installed are:

MATY's daily gardener
your wear any outfit during pregnancy
your everyone sleeps longer

I have all the expansions/stuff packs.

I thought I'd give you the feedback, let you know Tepa wasn't alone!

Ok thanks, this mod changes the global wake everyone up function so maybe the door bell uses a private function to wake people up I will check & get back to you:)

Thank you. :)

Your Welcome, it ended up being a separate function for the doors that was making your sims wake up, I never noticed that one before:)

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a version so only the doorbell would not wake up the sims.  I don't mind about the other sounds since they are isolated per room.

I hate it when I have late visitors or I order food or delivery and it wakes the complete household.

Thanks a lot for this one, I needed it.

I never liked how the door bell woke sims up. It drives me crazy when I have vampires.

ahhh I love you Squinge, eventhough you know that already I felt you needed to be reminded of this. :daisy:

* throws chocolate hearts to Squinge *

squinge, i love all you modes!

Thanks so much for this!!  Now my Sims sleep more like me...through anything!

--green

Thanks for pointing this out to me, Squinge. It's even better than what I was originally asking for!

I like this one, now when my twin toddlers sleep in the same room they won't be waking each other up with their crying.   thanks

Very good indeed.This way you don't have to send them back to bed cos someone let the tv on.Got a question here.If a baby cries,the parents won't wake up for it?thanks anyway.

Thank you Squinge

Another great find. I wish I had discovered this years ago.
Now I can design my house the way I want.

Thanks (Hope it works for babies too)

thank you ever so much for this. my vampire sims will forever love you. it's annoying to have there human friends come over and ring the doorbell and they all wake up. =>.<= again thank you!
