Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have children in a household, maybe only in Mt Komorebi (didn't test with other families). They always wake up screaming with the "terror" animation like when there is a monster, except there is none, they haven't had a nightmare, they just woke up, on their own or by clicking on the action.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sim children wake up with the terror animation every day, without any monster or nightmare, in any mood (I have seen Fine, Happy, Energetic, and Sad).
What do you expect to see? Sims should wake up with the appropriate animation, and children should only wake up in terror when the monster wakes them up.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest patch for Snowy Escape (after it being out).
The subject already exists on AHQ but since it had been fixed with a previous patch, I have been asked to create a new topic, so there it is.
Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

@crinrict Yes that must be it, I changed the beds and they wake up normally. Thank you for solving the mystery! Now I hope this will be patched because the designs are cool

Seeing this on PS4 with the monster free bed also. The child wakes up in fright every morning.
Edit: Adding a night light (Starry night or the Defender light) makes no difference and the child doesn't get the night light buff.

I'm also having this problem with the monster-free bed. I've seen it happening in several homes in several worlds, so it's most likely the bed that is the problem. Especially that it's called "monster-free" makes me think that they accidentally did something backwards when making the bed monster-free.
