Sims 2 bad nanny

There is only one maid present in The Sims Bustin' Out. She can even be killed with the use of a mutant plant , only to return to do her job as a ghost at all of her clients. In this state, she is able to float through walls and Sims, allowing her to do more cleaning in a shorter amount of time. When she appears as a ghost, she doesn't scare Sims. The maid is female, blonde, and wears the default maid's attire. She is slightly slow when cleaning.

As in most games in The Sims series , she will take an object if a family doesn't have enough money to pay her for her services. While the only available interactions are "Dismiss" and "Fire", Sims can play chess with her, and she may be able to join other activities. In The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories , maids can be either male or female, and Sims can socialize and build relationships with them.

Sims can talk or flirt with a maid, and ask them to cook meals. Male maids wear half-unbuttoned pastel shirts with matching gloves, and black pants. Female maids wear typical "French Maid" outfits with white aprons, and have long hair with a small tiara. There is one maid, Kaylynn Langerak , that is important in Pleasantview 's story.

All maids have maximum Cleaning skill, but their Neat scores will vary; a maid's Neat score may be low, medium, or high. For example, if only an extremely Neat Sim would think something needs cleaning, a maid with an average Neat score may not clean it. However, it also appears that a maid may clean at least some items before a playable Sim with a similar Neat score would see them as needing to be cleaned.

In The Sims 2 , maids will flush un-flushed toilets before cleaning them. If a maid is present, a Sim who stops eating a meal to answer the phone or pet the cat may find his or her food being taken away. Maids will usually put away books that sloppy Sims leave on floors and tables, but a maid with a low Neat score may leave a book lying around.

In general, maids will finish cleaning inside the house before cleaning up outdoors. This has an effect if the maid drops garbage because their route to the garbage can was blocked, or because the garbage can has been knocked over. If there is any indoor cleaning left to do, the garbage that was dropped or spilled will not be picked up until that indoor cleaning is finished, even though a knocked-over garbage can will be picked up as soon as the maid notices it.

A maid can mop up puddles that are under objects such as bathtubs and showers, even though other Sims cannot.

Maids may also clean up drinkable espresso left in an espresso machine , something that playable Sims cannot do, though they will not always do this. For some reason, a maid will not empty a toddler 's potty. There are game mods that will allow maids to empty the Maxis potties, but a maid may still leave a potty un-emptied.

Unlike the maid in The Sims , maids in The Sims 2 will not enter bathrooms that are in use, and will come at once if called after am, as long as the call is not made too late in the day.

In nearly all neighborhoods from The Sims 2 and its expansions and spin-offs, there are three pre-made maids: two female and one male. However, there are no pre-made male maids in Belladonna Cove , where all three maids are female; and in Strangetown there are technically four pre-made maids, as Jessica Ebadi was a maid prior to becoming a ghost.

WooHooing with a maid will give a unique memory of WooHooing with a service Sim. A range of objects and behaviour mods to make child rearing easier for your Simmie parents. A set of patches that will make your Sims understand that when they have a nanny they do not need to wear themselves out looking after the babies and toddlers themselves.

Go to this page if you have Apartment Life or later. This is for the problem of parents and nannies getting babies and toddlers out of one crib only to place them in another. The test "is baby already in a crib" was failing when met with custom or new EAxis cribs. This is a patch for the crib. Daytime naps are not affected, but once a toddler is asleep in his crib after 8pm, he should stay asleep until 6am unless he is extremely hungry.

I wasn't quite sure whether this also worked on babies, because you cannot tell how hungry they are in any case. I felt it was safer to allow waking for hunger, for the sake of people who are not using the social worker hack.

Stops social worker taking neglected kids. Adoption is not affected by this patch. Children already born may still be taken away if they are hungry or lonely. Page of new schools and an object to let your child change schools instantly.

No-empty toddlers' potty NoEmptyPot. Potties already on the lot may not pick up the change, so buy new ones. This is buyable baby's feeding bottle that is to be found under Childcare All. Not only does it stay full at all times, but it also checks for and deletes any normal bottles that have been allowed to lie around and get spoilt. It's best to hide it under some furniture as it can't be walked over in all circumstances. The larger object goes on the wall of the room where you want the Sims to be alerted, e.

If there are no babies or toddlers in the house, it is best to have the nanny track the Sim's schedule, so that she will not come while the children are in school. If there are no babies or toddlers in the house, and a Sim returns home from work at 3 PM, it is not necessary to hire a nanny.

Nannies and babysitters are hired over the phone. In The Sims 2 , nannies are always female elders except in The Sims Pet Stories , since elders do not exist in that game , and wear a conservative white blouse, gray button-up sweater, long plaid skirt, and bowling shoes. There are two nanny outfits; one has a green plaid skirt and green collar ribbon, while the other has a red plaid skirt and red collar ribbon.

It appears that one outfit is set as the special NPC outfit. The other outfit may be used as the Everyday outfit, but this does not appear to happen for all nannies. Nannies can have any hairstyle, skin color, and personality.

A nanny can be interacted with, and therefore married, asked to move in, or killed off. Players with University should note that a nanny who has idle time may be drawn to a Cowplant. A nanny can be called up to come over once or to track the schedule of an adult to see when the child will be left alone. However, it appears that the nanny only tracks the schedule of the Sim who made the call.

She may come if that Sim is at work, even if another household member has the day off. Also, the nanny will not track changes in the Sim's schedule that result from a promotion or demotion, so if the Sim's schedule changes, the nanny will need to be called again so she can track the new schedule.

Generally, once a Sim has re-appeared, the nanny will leave, but sometimes they need a bit of persuasion. In The Sims 2: Bon Voyage , whenever a family is on a vacation and there's at least one child, toddler, or baby left in the house, a Sim needs to ask a teen or older household member to watch over them.

If no one is able to babysit the kids, the Sims must hire a nanny before they finish planning the vacation, or they won't be able to go. The nanny will come just before the vacation van arrives.
