Aha! I wondered if there were benefits to tipping NPCs. Once (a couple reinstalls back) I had Mortimer tip his maid until she would hang out with him, so they hooked up. Any other benefits?
I made friends with a nanny the very first time I had a sim have a baby. She was a single mom and really needed the nanny's help, plus she was so busy with work and taking care of the kid that the nanny was the only person she could interact with (other than the kid, of course.)
That was the best nanny I ever had. She was a dream nanny, and never annoyed me. I have since had a lot of trouble with them and try to avoid them whenever possible. The patch may fix the nanny glitch, as it claims to do, but I'm still wary of them. I've had entire families jinxed. Those families, I should add, never bothered to befriend the nanny. So maybe there is a connection.
I do notice that the maids do a MUCH better job if tipped. I've had maids leave stinky dishes and toilets, and the next day, after a generous tip, leave the house spotless.
Of course some maids do a good job no matter what. It has nothing to do with which maid, but it does seem to go by house. Wonder if owner charisma has something to do with it? I've never tried to find a link.
Remington the maid is one of those who does a terrific Job even if you never ever tip him. I usually dont tip him until the 5th sim day then I have my sim Tip him 500 simoleons .. then he turns into a cleaning dynamo. the only nanny in my game that halfway got along with most of my sims Was Kendal Lawson and The Grim Reaper came and got her one sunday while she was at my sims house working it was right around 6 p.m. sim time If I had known the grim reaper was going to show up for her I would have had my sim plead for her life because the ingame replacement Angie Benson looks like Kendal but has a hideous disposition and is worse than any of the other nannies in the game when it comes to taking care of the babies

I didn't know the help could die spontaneously! Had you invited her to move in? I killed a maid once, but that was on purpose. She refused to leave my house after I installed Uni ... so I locked her in the bathroom.
The nanny I liked was Callista somebody. Kendal was always a pain in my patoot. She spent her entire day on the swingset.

I've learned that you need to make sure you're Romance sims have a moderate amount of body skill before they start dating.
That is unless you enjoy watching them get their butts kicked on a regular basis. ;)
You also need the Fight Club, otherwise fights make absolutely no sense and body skill has practically no correlation to the actual outcome anyway. :P

Kendall died very early in my game. When she wasn't peeing in the corner of the kitchen and stinking up the place (this was before hacks, mind you), she was walking around in her granny panties. Here she is at one of my sim's birthday parties:

I killed her off because she decided to put the toddler in the high chair and feed her when she was about to bladder fail in her pants.
Only sim I ever killed on purpose. I ended up killing her with Rodney's Death Creator because she wouldn't die properly when I put her in the pool with no ladder.
