midnight wake up

[cwykes]

Anyone recognise this problem?

Simmer A: " How come my sims always wake up around 12am everytime even thought their energy bar is still low?"  "There isn't any T.V, Computer, Stereo, etc. in the room. But my sims are still waking up at the middle of the night."
" I don't think I have a ghost or they had a nightmare. Even 10 seconds before 12am when I send them to bed. They wake up at 12am again. "

Simmer B: "This happens to me as well, only some of my sims do this. All of a sudden they will just jump from bed and stand there, but they are still sleepy. I just have them go back to bed. There is nothing on to wake them, and everysim is sleeping. I have no idea why this happens."   "I personallly don't have any hacks or downloaded items in my game for them to wake up at midnight."

I'm away for a bit, so thanks in advance for the help.
EDITED to add a bit to the description.  simmer A might have a DL problem of some sort.  Simmer B says not.

No idea. Must be a Cwykes problem.

Actually this isn't a cwykes problem - it's 2 other board friends problem.  I just want to know wtf it is!  I tried saying hack conflict or out-of-date hack ex, but then one says they have a vanilla game...  Maxis glitch?

Oh and one of them had testingcheats on and got no error messages.

The terrain paint thing is clearly a cwykes problem.  Had another one the other day..
Cleanbots being restocked as hydrobots might be a cwykes problem too

Dont they sit bolt upright after they have had a bad dream?

This doesn't sound like nightmares to me.  they were standing by the bed. Sims usually go back to sleep after a nightmare I think.

There's a great thread here somewhere on nightmares - lots of descriptions and there were some pics.

do they have a grandfather clock in the bedroom ? it rings at midnight, 6 am, midday and 6 pm.

This has happened to me a few times recently and I don't know the reason, either.  It's happened with Sims in gold aspiration, so it's certainly not a nightmare in their case.

Which terrain paint thing?

It's a long and venerable saga last mentioned in the OFB problems thread - I had base game only for a long time and wanted to do Strangetown versions of my little community lots.  I couldn't get the terrain to convert no matter what I did.  I've now added OFB and I've had an old packaged lot turn desert on me and two brand new ones.  The brand new ones were fixed by picking up and putting down again, the other one I bulldozed.  I also had a pre-OFB lot crash the game, but that could be missing content and might not be related.
