Does the Sims 4 Nap with Baby Mod Work After the Latest Game Patch?
If your Sim still refuses to nap with their baby after a patch, follow this precise troubleshooting sequence to eliminate corrupt files and restore the animation pipeline:
- Quarantine Outdated Files: Navigate to `Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods`. Locate your parenting and co-sleeping mods. Remove both the `.package` files and any accompanying `.ts4script` files to an external desktop folder.
- Purge the Cache File: Delete `localthumbcache.package` from your primary `The Sims 4` directory. The game caches animation references and UI scripts inside this file. If you leave it intact, the game will attempt to read corrupted code even after you install an updated mod version.
- Download Creator Hotfixes: Check the public or early-access pages of your specific modder. Ensure you download files compiled for the latest patch release. Never install files nested more than one subfolder deep inside your Mods directory; script mods cannot execute if placed two or more folders deep.
- Inspect CC Bed Tuning: If you use custom beds, test the interaction on a base-game Maxis double bed first. If the nap interaction works on an EA bed but fails on CC, the custom bed's rig slots are incompatible with modern parenting interaction tags.
- Re-Enable Script Mods: Base-game updates automatically uncheck modding permissions. Load the game, go to Game Options > Other, verify that both Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed are checked, then restart the client.
