Why should I clean a dirty bathtub?
MissDoh:
Since I install Nightlife I notice the maid is a bit mess-up. Eventhough when I clic on a tub, shower, sink or toilet and the option to clean is available for my controllable Sim, when the maid comes he/she does not clean those item right away. Most of the time though she will do it the next day after I used those items again. I tried to tip the maid 100$ a day it did not made any difference. I wonder if there is a dirt level set for every item and it was set up higher for the maid then it is for our Sims which would explain why he/she would not clean what he/she should.
I also notice there are some expensive bed (2 or 3) that they will just not make anymore. What is wrong with our maids? Did the programming change?
Before Nightlife I never had that problem and rarely tip them. They were cleaning everything in the house.
Anybody else notice this? Is there any solution or mod/hack to make it clean all the house like it is suppose too?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I even deleted some of those items and replace them with new ones with the same results.

Does your controllable sim have high neat points?
If you have two sims - one with high neat points and one with low and you click on a counter top or tub, there are times when the neat sim will still have the option to clean when the sloppy sim does not. Think of high neat point sims as clean/germ freaks. It may be that the tub is not "dirty" enough to get the maid's attention.

Yes, I've noticed that this has changed, at least in my game it is. I checked over a few days and even tho the maid just left, my sim still has the option to clean the toilet, or sometimes the shower. Mine was fine before NL too.
No idea if it is a neat/sloppy sim thing but I'll take a look into it tonight.
Oh and I don't know about you guys but the "Influence someone to Clean" and "Influence someone to cook a meal" comes up as a want on almost all my sims every single day :/ Almost makes me think why I take them to college to get the extra want slots. Mind you it doesn't seem to matter if the house is clean and the hunger meter is full.

Well that Sim have a level 6 in neatness so it is not a clean freak, I will definetely check if more sloppy Sims are experiencing the same problem and give more details, but it seems to be like that on all of my lots and I rarely have Sims with neat level higher than 6. Most will have 3 or 4.
But that still does not explain why the maid does not make some beds anymore :-\
Also how come my Sim have the option to clean it but not the maid, it does not make sense to me. In the past, if it was an option for my controllable Sims the maid would clean it. I never needed to check if it did the job or not.
I don't have the influence clean want problem though but I don't have a lot of Sims that went to college in that neighborhood (only 2 and they did not graduate), it is a new custom neighborhood I made.
By reading another post something came up to my mind, now our Sims will often clean dirty plates on community lots well to me it seems to happen a lot more than it used too, could this be the reason why all this is happening, I am convience Maxis played with that programming and mess-it up a bit though I have no way to prove it since I am not a programmer....
EDIT: My boyfriend have University install but not Nightlife, I will check if the maid cleans normally in his game. He did not install the patch yet either.
Kyna:
When I first played the Pleasant house (pre-NL) I noticed Kaylynn wouldn't finish cleaning the house - she'd leave after making the girls' beds upstairs, no matter how dirty the rest of the house was. At first I thought it was related to the scenario for the house - but then I realised it might be the diagonal doors on the girls' bedrooms. After I did some structural alterations and made sure there were no diagonal doors, Kaylynn had no problems cleaning the whole house.
I have no idea if the diagonal door thing was fixed in NL, as I haven't played a house with diagonal doors since installing it. Does the house in question have diagonal doors?
