    What light is the one for toddler nightmares? Is it the same as the kids' ones?

      Don't think there is one. You just have to get their thinking skill up to two. Anyway, I've noticed lately that the kids' nightlight doesn't seem to make a difference all the time. I just had a kid have two nightmares in a row despite the light.

      I think there is a random chance even with low thinking skill with certain tots and then others the same light for the kids is enough you could try playing lullabies too. That worked for one of my little ones but I don't use it all the time not sure how often that works.

      I think the incidence is lower if they're read a bedtime story first, I just remembered. Might be coincidence, but it's worth a try.

      The Parenthood nightlights might help with preventing toddler nightmares. It seems to be that way in my game, anyway.

      I don't think it's a coincidence, I always read my toddlers a bedtime story and tuck them in and they've never had a nightmare. :)

      I always use the own night light and have a big stuffed bear in the toddler's room.

      Two kid's nightlight from parenthood helps them sleep through the night and not get up to wake up parents or teen siblings to spray monsters under the bed. It could work with other kids lights but I use the starry night, nightlight
      Letting kids sleep in a full-size bed also stops monsters under the bed.
      When they do wake after a full sleep they mostly have the same jump reaction, just no monsters. and no waking up the family.

      I have not had many problems with my toddlers sleeping. Toddlers have a nightlight you can put on the floor but the maid puts that away. so I use the same nightlight for toddlers as for kids.
      we'll give you a full refund. Just make sure you make your request within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from your date of purchase, or within seven days from the game's release date if you pre-ordered, whichever comes first.

      I third this. I just raised 3 toddlers, each one was read to sleep every night, and not one nightmare. They are children now.

      Someone said already, but yea there are two other lights that I think help with nightmares. They are like a ball with clouds on. One is a light show up the wall too. Sorry for bad description! :D

      Yes, those are the ones that work, I think both are from parenthood pack. Your description is perfect that's just how they look. :)

      Place a radio in the tot's room and tune in the Lullaby channel.

      Wow I never thought about all that! I usually just switch household when my babies become toddlers until they grow into kids because i just find them annoying but all of your tips might make them more enjoyable to play with. Thanks!
      Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language ^^'

      @luthienrising I did some pretty extensive testing on the toddler nightmares based on a similar discussion in an older thread found here http://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/919184/how-to-prevent-nightmares/p1

      The results were:

      -- None of the nightlights prevent toddler nightmares. The toddler usually gets a happy moodlet from the Parenthood nightlights when they wake up but they do not prevent nightmares.

      -- Increasing the thinking skill definitely decreases the frequency of nightmares....however it is still possible to get a nightmare at level 5 Thinking, although it's pretty rare.

      -- The lullaby radio station will prevent nightmares if you have the toddler listen to it until they get the moodlet from it. Simply playing the lullaby radio station in the background will not prevent nightmares unless they actively listen to it and get the moodlet.

      -- Reading a toddler to sleep will prevent a nightmare.

      When I tested these things, I eliminated all other variables to be able to test whether using each of these particular things, itself, would prevent nightmares.

      I forgot I started using another kids nightlight from parenthood ( Night Owl Toy night light ) because I saw one of my toddlers keeping it in her inventory, I am not sure if it helps from the inventory or not. but I use to keep one on the floor or table near my toddlers beds.

      As I said before my toddlers never had nightmares. ?

      Now, why would parents on this thread just come and say the parenthood kids nightlights helps your toddlers not have nightmares If they have not tested them beforehand. Also did not have their toddlers running to them from a nightmare.

      The answer is in Jim's comment. when the toddlers wake they get a happy moodlet, So even if a toddler gets a nightmare an on waking they get a happy moodlet, do the nightmare truly matter if the toddler forgets the nightmare when they wake. The toddlers then behave as though it never happened. Parents only see a happy toddler.

      The reason The parents feel know the nightlights work. Truly, in that case, they do help with nightmares.

      So everyone on the thread is correct. So keep your kids nightlights from parenthood so that your toddlers wake happy.
      All the other things help too but the Parenthood nightlights are a good backup. Happy is what we want our toddler to be. :)
