Stereo Turn On Automatically in Night

[skybaker]

Occasionally, the stereo in my house turns on automatically. This makes my sims wake up.
Even when I move to another house, the problem still occurs.
I don't think this is a bug, but does anyone know how to solve it?

I'm not so experienced in the game but from my trials, I think you should try to put the stereo away from the bedrooms , or make sure to click "turn off" before your Sims go to bed

If you have any gnomes, they are good at turning the stereo on during the night or ghosts do too.  If you do not have either one of those, then do just what jerseygirl said and not have the stereo in the bedroom or make sure it is off.  If you have doors to the bedroom though and the stereo is out in the living area, usually it won't wake them up, unless the stereo has been upgraded to speakers in every room.

Maybe you have a ghost in your house who likes to do that? This is seriously no joke. Ghost sims that are still haunting houses will have access to the furniture.

You should call Ghostbusters...

[Branr]

Houses wired for sound and gnomes don't work well together, with the stated results.  OR, make sure everyone in the house is a heavy sleeper.  Of course, with that, there's never a need to turn the stereo off.

Thanks all. I think my Stereo is turned on by the gnomes.
However, I'm wonder if this is caused by the ghost. How can I seek help from ghostbuster?

[Asleep]

No. Only other Sims not under your control can call Ghosthunters. You can move the tombstone to a graveyard, but that's it.

I think that was a joke, as there is no NPC sim that you can call to get rid of ghosts. As simstar said, to stop ghosts from haunting your house at night, move them to a community lot. If you don't want to move them to a graveyard, you can just put the urn on a different lot. Pam was able to make a community lot serve as her own private graveyard in her 13-generation legacy. If you need help putting the urns on a different community lot, just ask her!

That's just the Repo-Man.

Looks like the Repo-Man. You can only call the "ghostbuster" if when moving to another lot, your house is already being haunted, like when you have a lot of butterflies and/or bugs and you can call someone to take care of the problem, or solve it yourself.

Notice I said that there is no ghost hunter NPC that you can call. I knew that there was the "challenge" that you have a chance of getting, but that NPC comes on his/her own. You can't call a ghostbuster.

Ugh, it was cute at first but every single night the gnomes turn on the stereo and every single person in the house has to react, get out of bed, be put back, some wander off and play instead of sleep...I don't remember this happening so much before Ambitions.

That's so odd!  I don't have problems with the stereo waking up my family unless the stereo has the upgrade "wire house speakers".  If that's the case you can always switch to the upgrade "improved speakers" which just increases the sound quality.
