Cuddling While Sleeping and Bed Interactions.
I am tired of couples sleeping like they are brothers and sisters.
We need the cuddling while sleeping back.
Model it after TS2, where sims had a variety of animations while sleeping, like cuddling, tossing and turning and nightmares.
The lack of those really bothers me.
We also need to be able to relax in bed, read, watch TV, talk, kiss, make out and etc.

But what puzzles me most is not their absence, but the fact that instantly after Woohoo, Sims always get to sleep for a few minutes. Not very romantic, is it?
Not quite.
I miss that, the Sims now? They don't seem to even notice or care that another Sim is sharing their bed. There is some sort of invisible wall between them that they never cross. I miss the way they would toss, turn, and cuddle up while sleeping.
Then there is the woohoo......
It's so.....sterile. Bump, wiggle, snooze for a second, hop out of bed, kiss the other on the cheek.....go on about your business. Seriously, why even bother? That kiss on the cheek afterwards, it's kind of cute when they're dating and don't live together but a married couple doing that? Strange.
I really miss cuddling while sleeping and I was messing around with the emotions of the game, I made a married couple and another man. I had the other guy flirt with the wife in front of the husband, WHILE the husband was IN THE CONVERSATION. I had the wife and the random guy DO IT in his bed while he was home and he didn't even notice.
For a minute I thought that he just, didn't care? He didn't until he walked in the bedroom (I made him) and he was sitting there for a few minutes watching his wife woohoo another man before he got even sad. :neutral_face:
So not only are they not affectionate unless you *make* them. But they also don't care if their wife has a boyfriend in front of them.
Sometimes they kiss on the lips after making out but still If we could control the energy bars and make them low I don't think either would get out of bed after woohoo.
If we get this I'd like for it to be it's own interaction so we can do this when we want to.
The post-woohoo sleep (even when sims are not tired) will make a sim miss the death by woohoo occurrence. They'll sleep through it instead of waking up. I really dislike that little sleep.
Also, agree with OP. We need more sleep interactions and romantic interactions in general.
I used to love watching sims sleep. They cuddle... Have nightmares. Have dreams about very specific things.
TS2 had a wonderful thought and memory system.
Even when talking, the speech bubbles would match the animations. Speaking of baseball, a sim would simulate a batting movement.
TS2 line of thought seemed the be "how can we make a smaller number of features as immersive and detailed as possible". After that, reading SimGurus explaining why registration was gone from animation or why they decided to allow severe clipping, the new motto seems to be "how can we make things as easy as possible for us, cutting corners, so we have time for a larger amount of content".
The problem is, I, myself, prefer to get less objects overall, but fully-realised, than one hundred collections, achievements, clutter and the whatnot, but half-baked.
It seems once sims could sleep and woo-hoo in bed, they moved on to the next object.
I hope beds get revisited and improved.
I have no problems with the post woo-hoo sleep, but the other mod? The one that would allow my kids to get an F and not be taken away? I'd like that. In fact, I find school pointless (they meet nobody, develop no relationships, learn no skills...) and I'd love a mod that would allow all sims to skip it altogether.
Exactly.
I would like to see the post-woohoo sleep go. When my sim's husband died, her energy bar was at 100%. Had he not croaked, she would have woken within seconds. The death animation knocked the wake up animation out so she never woke until after it was all over. I haven't heard from others who've had a sim die from woohoo, so I don't know if this is part of the game or a bug (the sleeping through it).
ETA: I think it should remain for sims who are at a certain level of tired (yellow, maybe).
Wouldn't we all?
These are all basic animations, but they added a lot to the game. I wish they'd been included.

Our sims need to be able to read, relax, watch TV, maybe use their laptop and daydream while reclining in bed.
I'd also like to see a relaxed, longer lasting cuddle. The snuggle looks so uncomfortable and awkward. And why couldn't the "make a move" be extended to the sim on the receiving end, grabbing hold of that arm and bringing it back (sort of like the heat of the moment kiss reaction from Sims 3)? I'd like for my sims to be able to sling an arm across another sim's shoulders and watch TV (parents could do this with kids also) maybe cuddle together while reading. What about lying down reading with your head in another sim's lap? What about pulling a sim passing by onto your lap and cuddling/kissing?
I could go on and on. As I said, romantic and simple affectionate animations need work.
