Slacker Babysitters
CheritaChen:
In my short (so far) experience with babysitters, I've found Christopher Robins to be the most attentive. The next time my Sims are both out and a babysitter slacks to the point of both kids wailing their little heads off, I'm going to try having one of the parents remotely click and select to "Fire" the useless bugger. Otherwise, they get no recourse, and how do they know this bogus service isn't going to send the same fuckup in the future?
Dragon Slave:
I remember how mad I was when my sim left for 2 hours and came back to find the sitter still on the front porch with the kid screaming inside. Typical ::) What ticked me off was that I still had to pay 75$, same as I would for a full day service. What the hell? Shouldn't wages be hourly like in TS2? I understand repair services and such for a fixed price, but with sitters, it makes no damn sense! He didn't even go inside!
virgali:
We definitly need a new nanny lobotomy type thingy. Also something that make the darn maids actually clean. I rather have the TS2 way where they were paid per hour and didn't leave till everything was neat.
I've had the same problems you're mentioning and all in the same household. The stupid babysitter would stay outside till I came home and then leave with my money on top of it. The baby stuck int he chair? Check? The standing and watching while motives go down? Check?
Didn't EA brag about how the new AI is so much better? It seems to be worse for most of the npc's.
FrickinIdjit:
Even worse, my sim with all the charisma challenge perks doesn't have the option to "Fire" a maid or babysitter. I guess it's because they're automagically friends as soon as they step foot on the lot...?
brownlustgirl:
My sim have all the charisma pts. and the perks, did have a friendship with the babysitter. She also had the ability to fire her. My sim's boyfriend was visiting her and their spawn, so she called for the babysitter before she left for work. ( I had no idea if he would stay or not) The boyfriend stayed and took care of his kid, but the babysitter was always interrupting him and he would put the baby down before doing whatever care he was about to do. That babysitter got on my nerves.
When my sim returned home, somehow the babysitter didn't leave and she was fired on the spot. This is what happened after that:
I sort of felt bad.
